It would be very useful to have the ability to block certain individuals from dropping in your matches.

Lets face it, there are certain individuals that are so OP that if they die in the first minute of the match and do virtually nothing then it is obviously your fault.

On the flip side there are also some really poor winners that are as equally annoying.

While this is nothing new, there are some that have nothing better to do then ruin others experiences through constant dribble and even direct friendly fire. This is their only objective when they see you.

While you can not realistically play on the Internet and avoid all the undesirables it would, however, be very nice to be able to block those one or two that would rather abuse open game chat the whole match then play the game.

I would rather not write support tickets every single time this happens with one or two people.

Give us the ability to block a few people. Two or three at the most so it is not abused. Allow only the group leader's blocks to work in any drop.

Hell I would pay MC to get a couple of extra blocks.

This would be a convenience feature that would help members police their own MWO experience.

I'll take a "Swear Free" option while we're at it!

or an Anti-Douche feature.

If we had the ability to block someone from dropping with the group, would you have that block option during the load up screen or have it associated in your block list? It would be difficult to block someone once they're in the game and if we did block them, we would be one man short.
In terms of open chat after, how about we have no chat once you're dead? No open chat, no team chat.

A blocked players list should be used as some type of filter during the match finding process. Those that are on your list should not be any drops with or against u. Hopefully the list can be changed between matches and only every 24 hours or whatever seems reasonable to prevent abuse.

We need to be really careful with this; while I 100% agree with you if there is a persistent friendly fire offender, we need to be sure that we are not blocking newbies on the basis that their tactics and handling ability are next to useless.

I suggested a couple of blocks not an unlimited list. if only two people are better then u in MWO the I guess u win the game.

Not everyone is so blatant in their actions that they would be banned for it. Reporting people requires screenshots and work on my part with no guarantee that any action will result.

I'm not out to get people I just find a select few people to be extreme irritants.

Seems like another exploit in the making. This is how it starts.

We all draw from the same deck, deal with it.

A totally constructive post. I don't think 2 people being blocked would be game breaking.

Awww, I can't find a clip of that scene from "Signs" where the girl asks if "Douche" counts as swearing...

Well many of us understand how you operate. Say a pug stomp team is meeting resistance because they really are not very good without the support of the team. Well eight players or soon 12 can each take two nanes of their biggest threats they run itno the same time every day and innoculate themselves from threats. That would be 16 or 24 players banned from a match. Great way to keep the xp farming going maximum. Sorry to point out the end game in all this but many are waking up to it.

Had you bothered to read the post you would have noticed where Proph mentions only the group leader's blocks would work. So no stacking blocks.

I understand that you are upset by getting stomped all the time, but this is not one of those threads.
If you want to QQ about premades I'm sure there are other threads for u to jump on.

[LauLiao]

The only ones I want to block are the people who die in the first 5 minutes of a match, then proceed to spend the entire rest of the match telling everyone else how to play. Hey buddy, if you were that smart, you wouldn't be dead!

[Typhoon Storm 2142]

Disruptive players must be reported, nothing else. Blocking people is not the answer. Just a chat 'ignore' function is needed. If we can maintain our personal 'black lists', everyone will just add the skilled players to them. I don't want to play alone just because I'm better than everyone.

Nice use of discount by distractiion there. Stick to the issues instead of smearing like a politician,

Its the ability that the the problem. Not whatever sleight of hand you use to justify it like group leader only. Which group leader? The entire Group? Lance? Its not clear at all what the final product would be and how it will be used or abused.
If a player is an issue do what everyone else has to do and report him. Individual blocking is a slippery slope.

Anyine following the NSA releases will understand how a seeminly simple requaest for information or control can lead to something far greater in scope and threat.
