Remove block option on right click for world vs world when clicking other world player

So the whole idea is that players can't contact others of another world because there is no way to find out who they are. HOWEVER.. thats wrong.
You can simply block someone and their name appears on your block list. Remember the name, and unblock them. Done, you can now trash talk anyone from another world. Just had this happen to me.
This needs to be fixed as it's a commonly known thing.

Not always a bad thing though, I got into a fight solo with an enemy, after the fight he messaged me saying how I could improve and we fought for a while afterwards tweaking a build. And I’ve used it myself to message an enemy in the jp to offer to show them the way through as they were really struggling.
It doesn't matter how long it takes to achieve something, its not the end result that matters, its the journey you take to get there.

Op is right, most of the time this is used for insulting or being salty.
Use the block feature to stop any unwanted communication?
Report player?
You know you can use the feature you're talking about to stop anyone abusing you, on an opposing server or otherwise, right? Maybe do that instead of calling for the removal of everybody's ability to talk to people on different servers.

I'm referring to the ability to right click on a players portrait and click block. Most normal options aren't there, but block and report are. Seeing as you can't normally hear or talk to this person, block shouldn't be needed. Instead, ironically, block allows for the very action that would warrant a block. A block can still be done on that player via chat, if needed. That said, if block is remove from portrait, it won't ever be needed in wvw for players from other worlds.
Anet has also made it clear they don't show names so that people can't contact each other. Having block allows for something they don't actually want.
You've missed the point we both made. Quite a lot of people, myself included, have used this feature for years to have perfectly friendly and productive conversations with people on other servers. You got some salt thrown at you, which happens, so why don't you the same block feature they're using to initiate conversations with you to stop them from being able to do so?
That will keep people from giving you grief without taking away a good feature for the rest of us.

But getting trashtalked is one of the most enjoyable events in WvW. Even if the enemy was good you know they are a moron. I love taunting them back. My favorite response lately when we gank them 3+v1 and someone start going on a whisper tirade:
"Welcome to the WvW sir"
US peeps wont get it, but you know.
gaggle - /ˈɡaɡ(ə)l/ - noun
A disorderly group of Asura.
"The gaggle of Asura tried to agree on whether a phase-shifted thermonuclear energy matrix was sufficiently powerful for a device capable of heating bread"
You can also invite people to parties even if they're on another server. Waypointing will reveal their name as well.
I don't see either of these things as an issue. You shouldn't be disallowed from communicating with people on other servers just because it can be used for negative reasons. If that were the case I'd say PvP would be a lot more important to censor since there are so many people that will rant and rage in /say or /map.

Got a salty whisper yesterday. I find it a compliment. Then again he insulted my game play... after I killed him! whut? I simply replied, bahahahaha. and he went away.
Just another WvW lifer who'll never say die... while dying again and again!
Trashtalking is like 80% of wvw. How i can larp crazy person if i can't whisper to enemy?

I love trashtalking gankers when I kill them and cowardly Mexicans hiding in a tower at 2 am EU. It's a very useful option.
I may be flora, but you and I can have some fauna.
I dunno, I like this feature, I love when people rage at me when I hit their giant forehead with a 15k Death's Judgment.
I personally like the block feature in WvW. How else will I find the names of cheaters using teleport hacks, cheaters using wall walking, cheaters using less obvious hacks like damage and stat manipulation or stealth hacks?
I'd rather have them make another /say chat for all servers to see, so I don't have to go through all these annoying clicks every time I want to trashtalk someone
After I BM and siege their dead bodies when they try to 3vs1 me and I get that sweet, sweet PM noise, I just know my day is about to get better.

The ability to collect salty whispers from enemy players is part of the fun of roaming the borderlands.
Getting a salty whisper is like a badge of honour!
But even more important: you meet a guild group, that is new or the usual com is offline. You block, unblock and now you have a contact to talk to about where to meet, time to start etc. Extremely useful!
I liked flying kites and chilling with enemies, allies are boring.
after all its not that crazy common... i play since 2019, have rank 20xx and got not even 10 salty messagers, notsure if it was even 5... so eh.
as others said: guild comms use this to make contact with other guilds. if would be disabled u had to look up their tags name always manually, which is unreasonable amount of work.
Perhaps a toggle in options to prevent people from whispering you who are on enemy server in wvw?
Anet buff me :-(
Make me good at game!
You mean like switching to "offline" over the LFG window?
Praise Joko! And make necros great again!
No I mean the toggle would block whispers from anyone not of your server in wvw.
If you set to offline then nobody at all can whisper you.
Anet buff me :-(
Make me good at game!
Im going with the classic:

"So many flavours and you choose to be salty
