THANK YOU!!!Consider yourself blocked.
THANK YOU!!!Consider yourself blocked.
I'll just block all you people opposed to blocking, and then you'll have nothing to worry about, because you'll all be in an instance together free of blockers
Quite a few folks at the CG have said that they block folks based on what they say on system chat. Just saying...
When I grow up, I will be ganker!Of course you're not.
So how come all you "I'm not a ganker" heroes are here in this thread defending the gankers?
Tell me you are kidding, if not i join anti spear squad ASAPAbsolutely. If you dislike someone's in-game behavior and/or you do not appreciate being salt mined, the block button is right over there. This does not break Open and is a fair and effective defense against abusive behavior, both in comms and in game.
I belong to the church of @Ziggy StardustWhen I grow up, I will be ganker!
Because @Phisto Sobanii made me do it
I neither said nor intimated any of those things, they are all completely 100% generated byb your own insecurities.The only thing extraordinarily selfish is telling people, "You can't play with ANYBODY if you are not willing to be killed over and over again by a small collection of antisocial murder hobos. Go to Solo - you are not worthy to play this game with anyone, even the majority of mostly PvE players."
As for instancing, Frontier understands instancing better than anyone, and not only have they kept blocking as a feature, they actually buffed it in the last major update, so me using blocking is no less selfish or illegal that some 5 year player using a G5 FDL to blow up a 5 hour player just trying to engineer his new T6.
But if you think I'm ruining your game, report me to Frontier.
Cos we care about the instancing poo-show that this game is half the time. Honestly.Of course you're not.

That is fine...but it's a known fact it does change the instancing algorithm, which can cause instancing issues in some cases when you specifically want to be in an instance with other cmdrs you know.
In some low populated cmdr systems you would be instanced on your own instead of the other 7 cmdrs, only 1 of whom is on your block list.
If it works for you then that's great...but you have to acknowledge the knock on effects this can cause.
This is simply a selfish perspective.
It is extremely detrimental to a quality MMO environment where as many players as possible should be instanced with as many others as possible
If people start putting popular gankers on their block lists, people who are at every CG, they are going to create at the very least, multiple watered down instances, and the net effect on pvpers who want to pvp will be chaotic. This is what we know from experience.
ftr, I'm not a ganker either. I have destroyed the ships of innocent commanders for a cause, always with accompanying RP. I have also destroyed the ships of less innocent commanders too.

I'm not worried about me though, it's the effect you have on the wider game by being trigger happy with blocking, and I find it extremely depressing that you are encouraging people engineering for the first time, the new horizons owners referred int he thread title, to use the blocking system like it's nothing.I've never had problems matchmaking with people I want to play with. As for the side effect of not being in an instanced with the people I don't want to play with, I accept that. It's what I want.
That's simply an opinion.
Again, just an opinion.
I personally 100% prefer to be in an instance with 4 Commanders that do proper PVP or piracy over an instance with 4 Commanders that do proper PVP or piracy and 15 gankers or griefers. Works for me.
In that case you have nothing to worry about from my perspective, I only block people who don't follow Wheaton's Law.

It's not nothing. It has consequences and should be a last resort. I'm running out of ways to say the same thing, so I'll just leave it there. Z0
And like I said, I'm not talking about you either, but the fact you just encouraged a load of new players to be trigger happy with the feature.I am far from being trigger happy. As I said, I only block people who I think are Richards in game. There aren't that many of them.

Please quote where I said it wasn't? Glad that's settled then... lol.Which is within their rights as a purchaser of the game and a customer of Frontier, so glad thats all settled.
Blocking should not breakWow, that was fast from moderators, I just replied. But I like the fact someone is paying attention about it. That's a good thing, right?! Hopefully stuf gets from here to FDev. From my point of player, i don't care by what channels, as long as instancing problems get addressed and i can play with everyone who chooses to play in (ps4) open for whatever reason.
