Rong.5470 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Hey, I saw that there were already few topics about toxicity and direct messages (whispers) in the past but they are quite old and don't explain anything. I don't know why there were no actions on changing how direct messages work, especially taking in the account how vulnerable we are in MMO's compared to for example social media / discord (who take users privacy seriously).I got totally mind wrecked by few whispers and don't want to play this game anymore if there is no way to prevent stuff like this, especially if I just want to play to chillout.Right now we can disable visibility of whispers but that makes playing problematic when nice people from my friend list would like to invite me to some open world activities etc. If I hide chat they would think that I'm ignoring them because there is no feedback what's going on.So I'd suggest adding new setting to prevent whispers from anyone else than friends (or option to block all whispers). If some stranger would try to whisper a person who activated one of these setting, the system would reply that's impossible to contact recipient with direct messages because of its privacy settings. We already have profanity filters but these cover only a fraction of potential harming sentence. Please comment below what do you think about it and if it is possible to implement from game side.

Dawdler.8521 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Isnt whispers blocked if you set yourself to offline in the contacts menu? Ah cant remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Player shouldn't have to set themselves to "offline" to avoid unwanted whispers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 If you blocked a player, they can't whisper to you anymore. Sending messages/letter is a different thing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilora.9524 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Get a mean whisper block them. Have your profanity filter on so you don't see bad words. That's it i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX.3582 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Also: Block and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxoglanis.1904 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Set yourself to invisible, turn off chat bubbles, and make an empty chat window. Then you cant see any chat. For even more protection from socialization, fill up your mailbox so you cant receive new messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yggranya.5201 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have been in offline mode since i remembered it existed. Of course it was too late, people had already added themselves as my "followers" without my consent. Would be nice to be able to remove those stalkers.
