Subject: Urgent Need for Enhanced Two-Way Blocking Feature in Neverwinter

Greetings, fellow adventurers of Neverwinter,
Lately, I've been mulling over a major concern that affects us all - the inadequacy of our current blocking system. It's high time we had a real discussion about this, as it touches on our privacy and security within our interconnected universe.
The Current Block System Issue:
When we hit that block button, we expect to disappear from the offender's radar, right? It's not just about annoyance; it's about security. Yet, here we are, finding out that they can still track us, see us, and possibly plan who knows what.
A Matter of Security:
In a universe as vast and diverse as ours, personal security is paramount. If we decide to cut ties with someone, it should be absolute. We shouldn't have to worry about them lurking in the shadows, watching our every move, or worse, plotting something nefarious.
The Need to Educate:
I understand that many players might not be aware of this issue, so let's spread the word. Our community's safety is a shared responsibility. We need a blocking system that guarantees our safety, where the blocked party has no access to our presence or actions, and vice versa.
Let's Strengthen Our Defenses:
As a united spacefaring community, we should be able to protect ourselves and our loved ones. An enhanced two-way block system is the first step in securing our digital footprints and ensuring peace of mind in our journeys across the stars.

How can there be a security issue in playing a game unless you've been daft enough to divulge any personal information to other players .
Block whoever offends you and get over it . As said it's a GAME , not real life .
At the end of the day if someone offends you report them to the customer support and if they believe it's an issue they will take relevant action . Worst case scenario find another game that you deem less offensive to you .
Being excessively insulting in PMs for no reason other than being an HAMSTER.
Reported spammers automatically get blocked.
There are as many reasons as there are players.
"SUBJECT: URGENT NEED FOR ENHANCED TWO-WAY BLOCKING FEATURE IN NEVERWINTER" from morinetti.
Now I am more curious what the next "Urgent" post will be.
**In seriousness, seem like you need to deal with these "urgent" matters with CS first, if they can even help you. Asking the Devs to implement these changes would take time and at their current pace, a year or two. If you are really being stalked and players are being toxic to you, take a break for a few weeks/month. No game is worth toiling with your health.
If you are so concerned about someone stalking you though, have a chat with customer support, and maybe have that restraining order handy as proof.
All this said, one thing that does bother me is that anyone can see anyone else's PSN name and is there is no way to block that which might be in violation of some EU and other countries privacy laws in regards to letting people hide personal information. Anywho, I don't expect them to do anything about it.
I mean, have you ever played mmo rpg games before, the Neverwinter online most toxic players here are nothing more but innocent bunnies, compared to other games toxicity...
Don't like person in voice chat?? mute him/her... That's it.. Problem solved...
Someone threating you??
Well,, simply hit block user and that's it..
Remember,, no matter which game you would play, never ever ever reveal your personal information.. Name, Addres, and etc.
That's how you protect yourself..
Email? - Never use main/personal email for games... Have seprated one,, cuz if any games security get compromised ( database breach) your email get leaked. And it's not hard to find out who and what person use it...
Also don't use same name/paswords for for various games..
That's how you protect yourself, and these rules apply not only to mmo rpg games, but to any online activities..
Now about your two way blocking stuff and protect ourselves and our loved ones, while I don't want to sound rude, but what the -_- you talk about?? How many enemies have you made??
In a universe as vast and diverse as ours, personal security is paramount. If we decide to cut ties with someone, it should be absolute. We shouldn't have to worry about them lurking in the shadows, watching our every move, or worse, plotting something nefarious.
This part sounds like too over dramatic persons issues. Like you don't like x player and now expect some system which would block him or make him invizible...
And the part plotting something nefarious. While I again I don't want to sound rude, but this line just cracked me up.
How many enemies have you made, and why you assume someome ploting something against you???
My advice would be stop flying in space, and get down to earth( reality)... No one cares about you, as long you don't start picking picking fights with someone in chat/voice chats..
I play this game alone for 9+ years, in that time period I have heard tons of threatening, calling outs and etc... How all ended up?? nothing... I simply threw player in block list and that's it... This is game have no PK feature,, he can't do anything,, there is instances, so no harasment can be done either...
And if you still feel threatened if there other players, perhaps you should rethink is it wise for you to play mmo games in general...
Cuz as long there is way of communicate ( chat/voice chat) someone will always gona be toxic.. That's part of mmo culture... It's unavoidable. Behind all players avatars are real people and there was is and always be, some friendly some toxic, some helpfull and some harasing. No matter what kind system would get added, there will always found way to go around it,, and also it can be exploited in negative way...

Edit to add: in reply to the topic, two-way blocking is pointless in a free online game, where someone can just make a new account to stalk/harass you with.
Not just pointless but waste of time..
As you mentioned player can create alt toon and keep harasing player.
Other thing, what is two way blocking??? In whole talk about two way blocking from Stalkers and etc, was not mentioned a single word how it should work in first place...
In over 20 years of playing mmo games,, I have seen how some companies attempted to make filtration from stalkers and etc..... All failed. Even if feature get implemented, within year It was either cut down or disabled..
As long there is any method of communication between plaeyrs, you can't avoid harasment.. Even if you can't chat/voice chat... I can lure group of mobs to your location, then run away and let you die.. And after that simply do TeaBaging.
I can assure you,, in all these years I have seen almost all possible methods how playes can harrasing others.
I even have played game called EVE online and there was Corporation ( Guild) Called Goonswarm federation.
Their game motto was > "We are not here to ruin the game, we are here to ruin your game". They were real toxc players.. And main goal for them is to make others rage quit.
Here in Neverwitner can't happen like that.. Game have instance based contents, also no PK ( player killer) possible, other than few pvp areas like ice wind dalte. So more less there is no way someone can haras you. Sure there is chat,, but that issue can be solved by blocking toxic players.
So If Cryptic Studios want to try develop some new two step blocking feature, then yeah why not. Let them try do it. But the outcome goan be exacly like what other companies had. And it's all cuz very concept is itself is flawed from very start..
