Xtinct.7031 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Do you find yourself blocking players after losing to them in a fight out in wvw? What is your logic in doing such a thing, I mean, blocking them will not safe guard you from another attack and defeat, so why do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 It's possible they just don't want to be further taunted though messages, just a guess. It's really their choice for blocking though, it isn't hurting anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimator.3589 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Nope. It's gonna take more than a whisper in a video game to hurt my feels, and blocking people means missing potential lulz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlySynz.3471 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I don't block anyone, even those that send salty whispers after I kill them, I just ignore. Only people I block are the trolls who spam team chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Boy.7138 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I block any player being nasty to anyone on the team, whether it be to me or anyone else. Idk if this counts as a pre block, but i'll block people on the other team being nasty to their own team if i witness it in chat or in any other form. I really look down on people who attack their own team. So i block them instantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Za Shaloc.3908 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I have zero people on my block list but I frequently block people to see who they are, and on occasion I'll forget to take them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems illogical.Don't lie..You tried to message them and found out they had you blocked or they were offline... I'd say more than likely you already messaged them before you found out you got blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really their choice for blocking though, it isn't hurting anyone.i get that, but what is the point if no messages were ever sent. Just seems illogical.I will temporarily block a player if something about how I died seems...ridiculously off. Like, seeing a player on the cliff opposite Overlook Keep and they then instantly teleport 5k+ to me and engage me. I do that for the account name so that after I review the video I have something to send in if it was truly "outside the box" game play. Like the flying golem guy a couple months back, who told me to L2P after he flew a golem in to Bravost. I have also blocked a few people (usually just for an hour or so) if it is a guild I know regularly trash talks in tells after they stomp you 5v1 and claim you need to "get gud", even though that player isn't talking trash I already expect the behavior from that guild. I can imagine a number of reasons why other players might, but I like to keep my block list at 0 names. I don't even have the regular TC trolls blocked.

Chops.1472 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 we have a channel in our discord to store all angry_whispers that are sent to us by others. It's a nice collection so it does not make sense to block anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 No, I only block obnoxious people in WvW that play on my team. That and beggars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daydreamer.3092 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 you said you didnt sent messages before. so there is a chance he didnt block you because of the fight but (long) before. i did block a lot of people because of map chat or pvp.

HazyDaisy.4107 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I used to be nice and post a friendly PSA at the start of each link reminding people to unblock people they may be paired with, until someone said they're blocked for a reason, they were right.

CETheLucid.3964 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 You sound like someone who got pre-blocked and you're so mad you couldn't say something to them you made a post about it here. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeknar.6184 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Block people and lose my daily dose of Salt being sent my way? NEVER!The only people in my block lists are gold sellers (Most problably long gone) and one certain dude that went crazy (literally) and I simply couldn't stand him bothering me all the time.

SkyShroud.2865 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Preblock, I don't think that is a thing or ever is a thing, are you sure you didn't behave in a way at some chats, to the point of being blocked ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyra.4709 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Haha no that seems... trivial? No offense. It's WvW - the wonderful land of salty whispers. Some are genuinely amusing to read.Only time I've ever blocked someone in WvW was to find out acc name; issue hacker report (or to find acc name of a friend on another server), then that one time some nutter was preaching in team chat about politics/religion... no amount of condi cleanse was gonna clear the burns spreading in chat that day. Wew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bq pd.2148 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 why would i block someone that has defeated me ? i only once ever recieved a message from someone that participated in killing me. the only reason i would block you in such a situation is if i want to return the favor and want to utilize the information on the blocklist to see if you are still in WvW (with linked maybe even on wich border) and on wich character you are but for that you would have to make me salty first, just killing me is not enough for that.

Widmo.3186 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Preblock? Never, actually maybe once or twice when i knew who this guy is and was 100% that after losing to me he will talk trash so i preblocked him and he got even more furious because of that.Usually i dont block salty people (collection of swears grows bigger everyday), but i do block delusional people, for example condi mirage that loses multiple times and then says your build is trash while his needs much skill to be played.

bigo.9037 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 as many people have accused OP of wanting to talk to said person.. while you are probably right, in OPs defense, lots of people also preblock you, then they salt whisper you. this has happened to me many times in wvw.

Dante.1763 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Ill only do it if they start acting like children after theyve won(jumping on corpse etc). But in the time ive been doing wvw lately ive never had any whispers sent my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
