Not sure how this will go over but it would be nice to have an in game Blacklist that you can add players to who have given you issues in the game. Say I'm selling things but this person has killed me out in the world while I was gathering.... ??

The FBI ain't investigated me yet for having a list of names like Prodigy6969, Grassblaze420, tallgeese, xxxPussSlayer1337, Skankgodlegend, Sewerlord52, etc.
I also like having note features in friend and block lists to actually keep up with who people are. I mostly use them to know who’s a great teammate, but I’ve seen guilds use friend notes and guild notes to keep track of roles.
they did investigate you during lunch and had a good laugh
A serious feature that I would be happy to see is an in game notepad like EVE online. EVE has a few simple tools like a notepad and calculator. Aside from being helpful, just having such tools built into the game is a tell that lets the player know economy of the game is a big deal.

I think he means when you have a problem player that the community shuns him, no raid/party invites , no trading and so on. I might be wrong, but asshats need to be taught a lesson. I agree I don't want a game full of asshats like archeage.
I definitely hope I'll be able to block people who spam in world/node/proximity chat, there's no reason not to.
I think you should still have to deal with them in like /say or /trade. I think there should always be at least one open channel of communication. Even if you don't like someone now, things may change later on. Having the public channels be the venue for that makes sense to me.
I can't think of the specific game off the top of my head, but I know I have seen it. I want to say something like "Aura kingdom". Which is not a good game. I clearly remember a player disappearing before my eyes only to learn that I was blocked. Needless to say I am against such a system, because it offered me no avenue for diplomacy.

You are not preventing abuse from a person if that person still has a direct means of communicating with you.
If you ignore a person, you shouldn't see anything at all from then in chat at all. If that person has a specific reason for wanting to talk to you later on, then they can go to a third party to try and sort things out.
If intrepid has stated it is going to work that way. I can accept it. I am just discussing what I would ideally like to see. Using a third party is a viable option that I have used in the past. What I like about public channels being open always is that it mimics the real world. I can block someone from calling me or texting me, but if I run into them in public I still have to deal with them. Obviously people can use that to be abusive, but I would assume being abusive in chat is already in the TOS even if you are not blocked.

My decision is not to allow DPS meters nor add-ons. I feel we have adequate measures in place to prevent a majority of potential third party trackers. I know this subject has passionate voices on both sides and I respect the various opinions and positions many of you have expressed.[157] – Steven Sharif
No add-ons apparently.

Why do people need to have all the extra mods? Ashes has been said to have a very adjustable interface. If it is built a certain way, I am pretty sure that it is a decision that they made.
