Does someone know if they are ignored?
IYM
that they are ignored or do they just meet static/no answer?
I had started another toon that's now a level 20. I had partied up with
someone to help each other out on one quest, and now they're my new
bestest friend! lol As soon as I log in he starts whispering and wants
to go do stuff together. He seems a nice enough kid, and I'm not one to
hurt feelings, but its getting a little annoying. I just want to play
and party up when needed. He logged off last night telling me he'll be
back on tomorrow after he gets home from school...I'm 40 freakin' years
old for God's sakes (and I play between 10pm and 1am, so what the hell
is he doing up anyway! s/b in bed! lol) Not that it matters in the
game - As I said...Seems a nice kid and plays his hunter very well. If
I had this problem with my 55 mage, I'd just port and quest somewhere
else, but at this level...I guess I could just go to another starter
area and quest over there, but this is my first elf, so I'm enjoying the
quests as I've never done them before.....Anyone with some ideas or
thoughts on how they would handle the above? Don't want to hurt the
kids feelings but I'm thinking I almost have to...Guess I'm too nice a
guy! LOL
Just FYI though - my favorite party is one where I meet someone at a
quest site, find out we are after the same thing, party up and complete
the quest. After the quest you say "Thanks!", bow graciously to each
other, then disband the party and off you each go. There are obviously
a few exceptions as my real life best friend plays and we'll party up
for a whole night, but that's with a different toon (right now anyway)
and different circumstances....

If you have already sent those types of messages, then it's fine to do
the ignore.
PS - Nice to know there are polite people with some compassion and
consideration out there.

Only if they try to whisper you after being ignored. In that case, they'll
get a message that you're ignoring them. I think it also happens for trade
requests and party invites. *

OK Thanks....hmmm, just thought of something....maybe I can create a
macro that spoofs an <AFK> Message....Well, I'll try the nice suggestion
first (Sorry, can't talk)

Well think of this one 1am is 11pm on the other coast he he might be home
schooled. He also might not have many friends and with you doing your thing
as an older adult in his life. He might crave that attention
Just tell him I am not doing that right now in a nice way. If he persist
let him know that you are uncomfortable due to the age factor. If he or she
can't get it than ignore is fine no use making a enemy or possible
stalker
IYM
Just FYI - I never discussed age (mine or his), hell - there's no sure
way to know that it is a "he"...could be a "she" for all I know (or
care). I have no idea just as he doesn't about me...This person only
dropped two clues...the mention of school and when I said I wasn't
staying on because it was 1am they said it was midnight where they were.
In fact, I'm making an assumption....Heck, this could be a collage
student for all I know.
Like I said, I'll be nice at first and progress to ignore if I have
too...Just originally wanted to know if ignore blinds them, or if they
know they are being ignored...
ITOH, kind of wish WoW did have a "blind" control. I agree it's an
online game and the point is to play with/against others, so a on/off
button to make you visible to everyone or not, would not be a good
thing. But to be able to toggle "blind" a PARTICULAR person to your
status may not be such a bad thing. When they were blinded, they would
get a "unknown" with regards to location, online status, etc. There are
times I'd just like to play without having those in my "friends" know I
was there.
If that isn't possible, then maybe a player should have to have the
permission of the other player to be able to add to a friend list,
(similar to inviting to a party)...If they both agree, then they get
added to both players lists. If one doesn't agree than neither get
added. If one decides after time that they want to de-friend, when they
remove the friend from their list, it removes from the other list as
well and cuts the ties...something like that anyway...just rambling
thoughts...sorry. :)

My main is a pretty good healer, and whenever I log on, within a few
minutes I'm getting whispers asking me heal this, that, or the other
instance, from guildies and people who have friended me.
I've had some great times out of these whispers, but there are limits
to my interests and availability - the new 80 who wants me to help his
group through regular TotC five times in a row, the 50 who wants to be
carried through *all* of BRD, etc.
On top of that, I have time restrictions; its quite often that I
login, put an epic gem on the AH, do the cooking daily, and then log
out, doing nothing else that day. I have to turn down all those
whispered requests.
I really wish there was an 'incognito' button at the login screen,
which if I selected it would prevent my toon from being visible on the
guild and friend screens.

They get a message that they are being ignored. You can always just
set a DND flag (DO NOT DISTURB). These used to go off if you moved
but I think stay now or just don't respond to his whispers. He will
get the idea eventually.

Level 20 is nothing. If it annoys you that much, just create another
character, spend the 4 hours or so to level him to 20 and delete your
original character. Problem solved.

I had the same exact thing happen to me when I first moved from
Alliance to Horde. I created a Horde shaman (at the time, there were
no alliance shamen). I partnered up with another shaman for a few
quests in the Barrens and after that he became a constant companion
whispering me, etc. He was also a teen and I didn't tell him that I
was more than twice as old as he was. I found it annoying at first
also. But then I got used to it as the kid was a good WoW player
(knew his role, wasn't loot happy, didn't do stupid things). The 2 of
us could finish the quests twice as fast and take on harder content
than a single player could.
I met his mom and dad and cousins and joined his family guild. It
only ended when the entire guild restarted on a PVP server and I told
them PVP wasn't my thing.

I agree, this is why most of my lowbie alts are in my bank guild. I
want to avoid someone, I jump to an alt. And with a lot of guild drama
starting again, my alts are doing pretty well... (another case of

I had something near identical a couple of years ago. I helped an
obvious kid out for a single quest in the Barrens for about 3 minutes,
and from then on he was like a limpet (and, yes, I'm every bit as old
as you, and then some**). I was getting party invites out of the blue
every time I logged on, without so much as a whisper, and every time I
declined one he'd simply send another. Each time I had to ask him to
stop before he'd give up. I kept things polite because of his obvious
lack of age, but in the end I got fed up and told him that, whilst I'd
prefer not to, the next time he did it I'd put him on ignore - which
is what duly happened. I took him out again after about a week, and
heard no more from him.

You can configure /afk to not be removed when you move or act.
Or just use /dnd instead.

That would be ok I think.

Either that or just leave it as it is today except add the "permission"
check.

That seems fair enough.

That would not be a good idea. Let's assume this case:
I have added a couple of friends to keep track of them and vice versa. For
some reason I end up having more friends than my friend A. Now I want to add
a new friend B but am at the limit of 50 friends, so I need to defriend
somebody to make room (and not because I want to 'escape' them) so I
defriend A to make room for B. There is no reason why this should stop A
from still keeping me on my friends list.
On the other hand, it would be cool if there was a feature where you could
query who has your character on their friends list and an option to be
removed from it on request to gather some privacy :)

As stated before they get the "X is ignoring you" message. Maybe some
addon could help you.
I have never used it myself but according to description with
IgnoreMore addon you could ignore characters without them getting the
"X is ignoring you". I do not know whether it could be used to hide
from guild members by setting addon on/off depending on the mood. At
least for my understanding it uses it's own ignore list when loaded
i.e. if it is on and you add someone to ignore list the person will
not be on your ignore list if addon is off.
