[Poll] Ignore System

[Sage Stoner]

I really wish the Devs would think of ways to remove drama from the game instead of adding more.

This game is built on fantasy and protecting players' privacy is paramount.

 

Honestly, instead this this BS, why don't you have two servers: One with the system we have now and another with a system where people are allowed only one avi.

 

Allow all players to log onto either server, but with the understanding that the rules and expectations are different.

[Michaello]

It's not first time

We voted many times for example group sex or next feature patch... but devs scrapped the idea after 2 or 3 polls

Riela... long time since I've heard from you ;-) But maybe I'm just reading the wrong threads *lol

 

You're right, somewhere a very far corner of my mind a ring is belling... But that must be in the very beginning of me being part of the community...

[Athene]

 

1) Under the old Ignore System (over the account) any player can find your other characters in your account.
2) In the new Ignore System, which is based on blocking the character, the other players are not able to find your other characters on your account.
3) Keep only one character on the account (you will get 10k xgold compensation for each char deleted)

#3: What am I going to do with 10k-20k gold?

 

You already have people complaining about not knowing what to do with it! (...before these silly changes were implemented...) 

 

I'm sorry but this is not compensation. Compensation for deleting 2 out of the 3 characters people may have and originally paid for, would be to pay them back (since it was a feature of the game and one aspect we bought). You don't know how much time individuals put into them and what kind of "identity" they have while on the separate characters. Taking away these alternate characters could seriously start an uprising within a particular demographic of your/our community.

 

You will lose subs by taking away a feature like this. Who knows how many... But it shouldn't even be an option on the poll.

 

Let's get realistic. This is a video game where you can act out things you haven't done (unless we're all pornstars), and to potentially learn things not just about ourselves, but also social skills, and the quite obvious... sex. We all do this within the realm of something more along the lines of "fantasy". We have the option to get married, for chrissake, and not to offend anyone here... but I bet you a million dollars 99% of the people here that get married would not in real life (at least not until much later). This means nearly every person here is living out a sort of fantasy in their own way. Some more outside of the bounds of realism than others, and straight up RP as someone else entirely. 

 

You take away the ability to play out such fantasies and limit us to 1 character... I just don't see how that will turn into something worth what you'd lose. 

 

For anyone having issues with people causing drama:

 

....If somebody even attempts to clutter my 3DXChat experience with drama of any kind, it will be simply ignored, regardless of alts or not.

 

I only have one last comment, and this one may be a bit harsh, so I apologize ahead of time...

 

But for the price we pay to play this game, and considering the lack of content and all that this game has to offer, to limit and "charge" us XGold for a feature that should already be allowed (since it was at one point) is just absolutely silly. Basically these current changes of charging us 10k XGold to create a new character means that the value of characters have gone up, now means we're at an imbalance of worth (does that make sense?) and it needs to be offset elsewhere. Hence the mention of Gizmo saying we'd be compensated (even though it's really not enough).

 

Take WoW for example, you pay $14.99 a month and get TONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS of content more than worth your while, and can pretty much have unlimited characters. Yes, an MMO compared to a sex game. That's where the price differs, we get sex here in terms of in-game content whereas in WoW we do not... But  for $5 less we get way more content, way more things to do, much bigger social community, and a plethora of character options. They get more trolls there, you know, since they don't have the 18+ age limit. But you don't see them charging people ingame currency to create a character as a solution, and it shouldn't be done here.

I voted for the character block. I don't care who knows my avi's but I worry about any kind of security hole and what other information they can access.

 

Just my 2c

One avi per account \o/

I have to say, option B seems best to me.  Many people here use alts for various roleplays, and most of them don't hide who they are.  They tell you straight up if you ask or put it in their profiles.  But sometimes we may tick someone off inadvertently and end up on the blacklist.  In such circumstances, especially if it's just because you're playing a character, I don't feel it should reflect on your other avatars.  And really, if you just want to shut someone out that badly, it's easy enough just to block their other avatars as you spot them too.  Problem solved.

 

Anyway, just my two cents.

Most people use alts and don't hide who they are?    That is easily one of the most misinformed things I have ever heard. Many people do use alts for non-hurtful purposes. Most people use alts for spying and harassing. Hence... why the vote above is trending the way it is.  It is NOT always easy to spot someone on an alt hiding who they are. All I know is, if they keep it to a char only ignore, I, along with many others, will not talk to anyone who appears to be a new player. This will make it very difficult for new players, but i dont care. My personal enjoyment and security should not come second to the fact that others can't act properly on an alt character.

[PoisonMortel]

First thks to the devs for making this poll and ask our opinion...and I really really hope it will return as it was..Because this new patch brought a lot of negative vibes..and the mood was really down ..some even thought about to quit the game ..

I read here and I find out that a lot of ppl sees it the same way I do ..

Thanks

[HotJulette]

I voted for option 3,  because its stops people making relationships with their alts, and then deleting them. Also stops the the spammers having multiple accounts as well

 Most of many he said . Don't need to lead people astray . Many ppl in this game use alts for roleplay , not for bad things . A few mindfuckers for you it's a big part of those who use alts . 

Sometimes it is necessary for someone to consult a psychiatrist for the presence of paranoia . 

[Xanar]

I would say, that a third option should be added where you can select "Block whole account".... But allow the view of profiles. <- Only block the profile from the person who's blocking you - Allow us to view the profiles of his alts? Hide his avatars (even his alts) but disallow us to view the profile of the blocked person = no hunting

 

But then also hide other people involved in positions like slowdance or sex once one person is blocked. It just looks funny seeing someone kissing and floating in the air.

[Riela]

Please explain to me how does 1 character per account stop people from buying multiple accounts? Because from what I seen it actually encourages you to buy second account if you want to do anything with any other character shady or not.

This also increases when other 2 character slots are paid, you can buy character slot or buy new account for month, based on what you do with that character, it's actually cheaper to get second acc in most cases.

Maybe what he said is not 100% true, but your statement that "Most use alts for spying and harassing" is even more dubious. While I am aware that it does happen, please don't paint us a picture where "most people" are out to get you.

 

I think an account wide ignore is the way to go. I have never ignored anyone myself, but it just seems to make the most sense, and that's what I'm voting for.

 

The main purpose of this function should be to ignore the person behind the character, not the character itself.

More than a "few" people use alts for bad reasons. Also, if you can't make a post without personal attacks, then don't post at all. I've notice that most of your posts tend to have a little jab in them at the end. We don't need behavior like that here. Post your opinion and move on. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't give you the right to make snide remarks. 

[Libellule]

mmmmm, that a hard question, 1 and 2 have both good and bad point to me, 3 is stupid, you cant cut out feature that are already here, except if you want to angry ppl lol

 

i play with just one avi and have never blocked anyone in my 3 year in this game, so... honestly, i dont realy care ^^ and surely dont have the full scope of that choice like those that use those option, so i will not vote

 

i will just say if i have to choice, i thinks i will say 1, because if one day i ignore someone, that will realy say that i dont want to see/talk to him again, the player not just the avi, that sure :x

 

but i will say the ghost thing is realy realy annoying, i will realy prefert if they are not see, i cant count the number of time when someone (sometime someone i dont even know) pm me to ask me who i am with... and start to recite me ton of drama i dont care "you know that guy <drama>" "ho but that guy is a alt of <x> and <drama> <drama> <drama>" "how can you seriously fuck that guy he is <drama> <drama> <drama>" etc... i'm sure lot of you can picture it, that REALY annoying, i hate drama and absolutly dont care about it :x

so if that point can change i will not say no to it

 

----------------

 

mmmmm, c'est une question plutôt hardu, 1 et 2 on tout les deux de bon et mauvais coter, 3 est stupide, vous ne pouvez pas enlever des feature qui sont déjà présente à moins d’excepter de faire gueuler les gens lol

 

je ne joue qu'avec un avi et je n'ai jamais bloquer qq'un en mes 3 ans de jeu, ...honnêtement, je m'en fou un peut ^^ et n'ai surement pas en vue toute la porter du choix comme ceux qui utilise ces option, je vais donc m'abstenir de voter

 

je vais juste dire que si j'avais a choisir, je pense que ça serais 1, car si un jour je met qq'un en ignore, ça voudra vraiment dire que je ne veut plus jamais le voir ou même lui parler, la personne et non l'avi :x

 

mais je vais dire que le truc de voir les fantôme est vraiment énervant, je préférerait largement qu'ont ne les vois pas, je ne compte plus le nombre de fois ou j'ai recue des PM de gens (que je ne connais même pas de fois) pour me demander avec qui je suis, et commencer a me réciter une tonne de drama dont je me fou éperdument, comme "tu sais ce gars gna gna gna gna" "ho mais ce gars en fait c'est X et gna gna gna gna" "comment tu peut sérieusement baiser avec ce type ! il est gna gna gna gna" etc... comme vous pouvez l'imaginer, c'est VRAIMENT énervant, je déteste les drama et m'en fou éperdument :x

donc, si ce point pouvais changer, je ne dirais pas non

[Euk]

The amount of misinformation in this thread is scary.

[Guest ClareTC]

When i first joined 3dx I had the misfortune to encounter a person who while they seemed to be interesting at the start, once I accepted an invitation back to their place tried to persuade me to engage in age play. Something I have absolutely NO interest in whatsoever so I declined and left then had the same character following me around the world trying to persuade me to comply. Personally I found this person very creepy so I ignored him, and I mean him not his character. I voted for an account wide block for this reason. I don't care what someone is 'pretending' to be if its beyond my limits and they don't stop I want to be able to separate from that person (not just their character). without any further trouble, and keep it that way.

 

personally I have never had a big ignore list and I believe in using it sparingly but everyone on mine I found offensive (and I mean really offensive not just mildly upsetting) and I would very much prefer not to have to suffer any of them again. The argument that someone is just playing a 'character' only works for me if the 'character' accepts when you ask them to stop something or leave you alone. The idea that I could be in a position that I get very upset by someone to the point I ignore them, and then they could be back under a different name within minutes and I wouldn't necessarily know isn't one I am comfortable with at all.

 

of course there is no solution to multiple accounts and I cant see how you would ever be able to ignore across accounts, but nevertheless I for one feel better and safer with the ability to ignore an account rather than a character. IF this isn't possible then I would prefer one avi per account.....

 

if there is a personal data risk then I think that's a different problem and one that the devs would need to fix as a priority BEFORE anything else

Same to you .

Most of many and most of us in game is a different things . Hope u understand .

Option 1. The old system.

Actually, yes, I'll give you that.  Most is not accurate.  Many would be a more accurate statement.  But I still stand by the rest of what I said.  It's easy enough to block someone's individual alts if needed when you discover them if they're one of those with a tendency to abuse the system.  Many who do have secret alts do so for the purpose of having an escape as well.  Not to spy or play head games, but to simply remain anonymous because, let's face it, sometimes our friends can get a bit clingy and we need a break.  Not everyone who uses alts does it for malicious reasons, though, and shouldn't be punished alongside those that do.  So I support a per character blocking system.  A troll will be a troll no matter who he/she is on, so you can spot them generally and put them on ignore.  And hey, if they make an alt that they don't troll you with, then no harm really.

 

Again, my two cents.

[NAMELESS]

Why do you want visible ghosts ? To hunt them even if you ignored them ? 

 

Like : *talking to a friend* hey can you tell me who is sitting on the stool near the girl Y*

*anwser of the friend* Oh it's Mr X*

*checking ignore list and say* Oh i didnt have him on my ignore , this is an alt!

 

Seriously if you ignore them ignore them when they are in your ignore list too

 

 

OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO what is wrong with you people why would you wanna see the ghosts of blocked people 

It is the worst idea since the human come on earth, if I block you or you block me, I am sorry to tell you but i do not want to see your ghost going on with someone as i don't want you see me or know even i am there. that is what create bulies, witch hunters discrimination and so on in this place. why don't you iggy that person if you have reason to and than mind your own business/life . PRIVACYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY PEOPLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Dont shout wolf on sheep when you the hiena. NO DAMN GHOSTS. privacy.

Hi,

 

You are both right and wrong the same time.

 

I think it's good to know when you block someone that you are not going to talk to his alt.

But if you block 1 avatar and have 2 red ghosts with differents names, that don't necessarly means they are the same person, that could be another person who blocked you.

Even if I discover the alt of someone, I really don't care, for my part. I am not here to make dramas and piss off people.

Unfortunely, some are here for that and yes, that could be a problem in that case they could do a hunt to alts and make dramas here.

 

I am agree too with the right for privacy, then I think the best to do is to not see at all the avatar you blocked.

 

I suggest the first option of the poll with invisible avatar and not a red ghost.

 

Have a nice day people

I agree with most of your statement as well. I too have an alt I use for privacy. But... Why would you worry about anyone finding you on an alt if you are not doing anything on that alt to attract attention to yourself... such as, contacting friends and acting like someone else. Those type of actions are what cause people to try and find out who you are. If you are minding your own business and trying to remain anonymous, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. 

 

The problem is, if you get someone harassing you, then you ignore them, the can simply make a new avi and continue the harassment. You can also ignore that avi, then they can also make a new one.

[Leopardus]

I can't vote in this poll because I am completely confused as to what options 1 and 2 mean.
