The ability to mute people in any chat channel needs to happen, soon.

I have been told and know why we dont have it. You dont want us lost or confused by a conversation. But honestly, I would rather be lost and confused by a conversation than to have to leave an entire channel because 1 person decides to be a jerkoff, for hours.  I have been harassed and hassled all day long, by two people.  I ignored, closed the channel, ignored some more.  Finally after 2 hrs, opened it back up and answered someone's question. I was immediately hassled by those 2 again.  If I had the ability to mute them, I would not have seen them trying to irritate me....and yet again feel like I personally had no choice but to either feel bullied and leave, bite my tongue and just be internally pissed off, etc.  Either way, it was not a good situation for me.

Just be able to mute them, I would not have seen what they were saying just trying to egg me into a fight. My game time would have been much more enjoyable.  Instead, my day has just about been ruined....  I dont want to feel like I let others have this type of power over me, or my emotions. 

Please, let us have the ability to mute individual people on our end. Please!

  • Dear devs, please do something about it. We've asked many times for the option to ignore someone in chat. Making us leave the chat channel is not the solution.

  • I agree with this - by muting these people we choose the risk of losing bits of a conversation. We don't need to be protected from our own choices in this case.

  • Agreed. We need to be able to take the standard steps for bullying in chats/games... ignore, mute, and report (if it's a violation of the TOS). And, from my experience, the ability to ignore and mute reduces the load on moderators & devs because the bullies & trolls lose some of their power and, thus, incentive.

  • I'm all for it too

    I don't come to this game to deal with immature chat trolls who get pleasure from making the chat unusable by their spam and meanness. 

    I want to turn them off, eventually no one will listen to them and they'll go back to warcraft to troll trade chat there, where they belong.

    There are some people who seem to think that chat is just there for them to annoy people. If we can just ignore them, they will go away.

  • Each of you needs to report them, not ignore them.

    From the Community Guidelines:
    No griefing or harassing other players. It’s not fun, or funny. Really. If you are in the game for the purpose of pissing other people off, you can’t play.

  • Agreed, WindBorn. 

    Please guys, whether this is happening directly to you or you see it happening to another player, PLEASE report this stuff. It's not okay, and it shouldn't be tolerated by any of us.

  • Ahhh, that rule was put in after my issues.  I will be reporting now.

  • I haz a better Idea! Instead of hiding an entry, hide what they say, but leave their name! YES

  • Oh yeah, that might work unless they were a quickspammer, just their name, followed by "muted" in their words section.

    + 1 to each of these ideas.

    If you guys have ever been to forums ran by... Valve (I think).  Their forum system replaces foul or blacklisted words with hearts.

  • We've listened to a lot of excellent feedback around this issue, and a better system is on the way.
