Randoms and Ignore list

Like many others I see here I am utterly disgusted at the random queue for many many reasons. One of those reasons is abusers, whether due to logging out (without leaving), not assisting, vastly undergeared (you have to try to have a 5k IL or less on a 70) or a speed runner, it affects the others in the dungeon/skirmish negatively and we the player base should have, no, demand a way to limit our exposure to those abusers. I had been under the assumption that once I put an account on my ignore list that I would not be forced to have any interaction with any toon on that account ever again, hence my choice to ignore them.
I have been running daily random skirmishes (I draw the line at running leveling dungeons, it is an insult to me to force me to run them) for the last week or so on my 8 toons. I have been looking to do a few specific things in the game that cost more AD then I can make in a relative realisticly short amount of time so I decided to do the skirmishes.
I very quickly became newly disgusted at the plethora of circumstances that abusers are allowed to wreak havoc on the player base and started checking IL at the start of skirmishes. I should clearify that there is 1 skirmish I do this for mainly (throne). I refuse to run that p.o.s. skirmish p.o.m. but would do the same for that one if I ran it. I found at least 25% of the time level 70 players having a 5k IL or less. I even saw a player with less than a 1k IL at level 70 running randoms. While the skirmishes aren't difficult (that's another part of our disgust at the queue system) the FACT that a player with a 5k IL or less does so little that they effectively aren't there.
Now to my point as the title refers to. I put those abusers on my ignore list with the belief that once they were on my ignore list that I would not be subjected to their abuse ever again. That included my understanding that I would not be forced to run anything with them again. Once again Cryptic failed us, the player base, in that even being on your ignore list you are forced to run with toons from those accounts in the random queue. Cryptic, in their desire to implement this disaster (the queue system) has given abusers another way to negatively impact the player base.
I'm sure there are going to be those that respond by telling me to form my own party and to you I say this, the only way to affect change is to challenge the status quo. I see many people here and talk to many people in the game that are all of the same mindset. We despise the queue system AS IT IS.
Let Cryptic see our disgust at their work and as the people that keep Cryptic in business let's demand better of them. Make positive changes to the queue system that the majority of the player base wants/needs/demands.
Once I put an account on ignore I should NEVER have to be forced to have ANY interaction with them ever again. That includes not being forced to run randoms with them at all.

To take this back on topic: I agree that it would be nice if the ignore function also made it so you would not have to be in an RQ with that person. My only concern is this; As your ignore list grows then your time to wait for an RQ will also grow as it would only take one person to block you from being in the RQ with them.
You see it all the time on Zone and Looking For Group chat, some one posts: LFG – TIA, TONG, FBI, ETOS, etc….
One could post [LFG] “Random Dungeon - speed runners need not apply”...
Of course it will take longer to get into a dungeon (which is why more people don't do it) and there is no guarantee a speed runner won’t try to join the queue anyway just out of spite, but it is something to consider if you’re serious about not running with certain people you consider to be abusive since it is your choice whom to include and exclude from your queue group.
