How exactly does the "ignore" button work?

What does it block and what it doesn’t?

If I ignore someone, can they still see me, target me, buff me, heal me, etc? Can they see me in /who?

Also, if someone I ignored happens to be in raid group with me, will I see their messages on the raid chat?

What about other characters on the same account, and other accounts on the same battle.net account, and other battle.net accounts on the same name?

stops messages from displaying, unable to open trade, invite, duel etc. thats pretty much it

Yup, and it’s character based, not account based.

but from what I know, they made an update that enabled account-wide blocking. Or at least promised to do so.

and if he’s in raid or party with me, I still won’t receive their messages?

You won’t see their messages in any chat channel, correct

no you won’t.

also that seems like a feature from blocking battlenet tags not from ingame

People were being harassed by players who would keep creating new characters to evade ignore list, and Blizzard promised to do something about that

anyway i think there is an addon that does something like that https ://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/global-ignore-list although you might have to find it elsewhere to get it for classic.

idk how it does it or if it works but they claim it does. in any case it also lets you ignore more people and set notes for them so its worth having either way

tbh I’m mostly looking for something that would let me see messages from ignored players in group chat, or at least warn me when a group member is on my ignore list.

Also, it would be nice if there was a way to prevent friendly players from healing, buffing, and/or dispelling you, but that can’t be done with addons.

that addon i linked also does that. it will give you notification when someone who is ignored in your group sends a message :slight_smile:

I wanna say the addon linked above has a warning when you are in a group with a player you have on your ignore list, but I’m not 100% sure.
