A list with people you don't want to play with

28 votes

I do not know how to properly word this suggestion, but lately me and my friends have been getting harassed by the same couple of people in the official servers. They will actively seek us out and cause trouble. A great solution to this would be to have a list in which you can add people to a personal list, which prevents you from joining a server they are in, or them from joining a server you are in. This prevents hard to report stuff, harassment and it increases the happiness of players. Because frankly, I know me and quite some other players are tired of getting harassed or being forced to swap servers once they see certain people join.

For one thing, this proposal is total nonsense.
Secondly, it cannot be implemented at all. How will you prevent these people from joining the server. You can't forbid people to join the server just because you suffer from paranoia. Nobody is chasing you or your friends specifically.
Our people, for example, are also attacked every day. And mostly from the same people. You have to learn to live with that.
It is also a survival game.
And many people are very bored at the moment. They are looking for the fight.
You can't blame anyone for that. Because currently, there are except quests, purely nothing in the game.

Much worse I find these Carebear players. And the people who call everything and everyone at the smallest detail as Kose. Or the players who rush with 10 people on a player just because the 3rd Call has made or something else.

And exactly such people who constantly call everyone a Koser or pounce on one with 10 are the worst. Because they just take that as an excuse.
At the end of the day, everyone likes to kill in pot. Only some wait for the moment that someone makes the first blow, or other, so that those who attack the one are not called Kose.

Little comment, this Xenomorph guy is one of the players harassing me and my friends. I even have evidence to him admitting in Global that he is harassing us.

Kindly speak for yourself Xeno, I for one do not like killing others unless they leave me no choice; neither on PoT nor on the isle simply for the fact that I don't wanna ruin someone's progress/growth. It's one of the reasons I don't or extremely rarely play carnie and even then I go for AI or corpses exclusively unless someone attacks me first.

I haven't played PoT for a while now since growing gets a bit exhausting with so many people on a small map and you're bound to run into something that'll murder you 5 times in a row. Food for thought, ever considered the need for carebearing might be a direct result of the people targetting everything they come across regardless whether they are starving or not? The way I see it one is a direct result of the other so if you don't want carebears, people like you (I assume going by your spirited reaction) should simply stop fighting everything unfortunate enough to cross your path and the need for the other should diminish by default.

It's also not nice to call a proposal nonsense simply because you fear it will impact you negatively, or that's the impression I am getting anyway.

I personally think it has merrit and it would be a nice way to reduce the amount of toxic people spamming global chat if anything else. As for the how? I leave that up to the talented PoT devs, I'm sure they'll figure out a way to make it happen if it does get implemented.

There are also multiple servers, so simply blacklisting a person from joining the server you are in, will not affect their gameplay in any way (since they will just join a different server), unless of course they get blacklisted by everyone, which is most definitely on them in that case.

POT is MMO Survival. Not PvP.
I agree with this proposition, maybe with a list of toxic player, you can join servor where they are not. And admin can see how it s dangerous for them to let toxic gamer play without rule or elegant moove. Dangerous because lot of gamer start to quit the game.
