Even a logout wouldn’t prevent that, in most programs if you block randoms from adding you, you also can’t add randoms.
I would propose some sort of cooldown on the change, say once a day or once a reset. Much like how facebook has a policy of 48 hour waits between unblocking someone and blocking them again to prevent abuse
People like this are ridiculous. They’ll send you a load of flame whispers, but first putting you on ignore so you can’t respond to their angry tirade.
That’s basically what some of the cowards on the forums do. They reply to a comment that you’ve made and then immediately block you before you can reply. It’s embarrassing for them, really. With that being said, I totally agree that people would abuse such a function in-game also if they could.
they are so ridicilious they are comic relief. Its funny they get so mad to whisper you but are also easily upset they cant allow you to reply
In which case, imo, they shouldn’t be playing group content with random people if they aren’t willing to communicate.
willing to communicate =|= willing to get insulted
I also never said anything about group chat,only whispers so why y’all acting like blocking whispers makes it absolutely impossible to do group content lol.
Ok, but it doesn’t really solve the problem as people can just flame you in group chat instead? Either way, you just put them on ignore.
Yes as people mostly start to flame after the group has already separated just like in my example.
You can, go into account from the battle.net app and then go into privacy and communication. You can edit your social settings there.
I started playing WoW again 3 weeks ago, I came from a League of Legends high elo community where people wishing each other death, is an everyday. For me personally, I would never ever get offended by some random guy I have no clue about, no matter what he tells me. When I play M+, I have had only one accident where a guy wrote some really disgusting things to the entire team for no reason and then left. Occasions on where people are acting like animals are very rare in my case. Every now and then you will encounter one those toxic peeps, its simply unavoidable (unless u play premade ofc), its just how the internet is. My recommendation to you is to try to adapt to a mindset to not get emotional over words. If a guy calls u bad in a little bit worse way and u get offended then my guy you’ve got a bunch of singleplayer games where there is no player interaction whatsoever. I’m not trying to justify toxicity in mythic pluses it should be punished on spot but try to just not care and not get butthurt and just ignore him afterwards. That’s how I handle things. Matter a fact, I personally hit them up with a reality check and they just stop responding afterwards. But sure, you can use an addon to completely disable whispers if you’d really like to but its not really only a WoW thing its an internet thing, learning to not get emotial is a skill u need. No matter what u do, sooner or later, it will happen.
So you got flamed for criticising someone, and want to avoid that?
Instead of adding to the “bad community”, how about you be part of the change.
There are two things you could’ve done to be par of improving the community in the scenario you describe:
I have whispered some leavers this expansion to just tell them why they should stop doing that, and have actually had some good interactions that way with both me and the leaver ending the conversation by wishing each other a good day.
No, this only changes settings for Battle net App, not ingame.
