Final Fantasy XIV is finally upgrading its blacklist system in Dawntrail
Amid the sweeping changes and exciting new content listed in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail’s preliminary patch notes, there’s a game-changing upgrade hidden under the Housing and Miscellaneous notes: The infamously ineffective Blacklist function will finally serve as more than a glorified mute button in Patch 7.0.
Currently, Blacklisting a player in FFXIV omits their messages in chat and prevents them from sending you private Tells, Trade requests, or party invites, and nothing more. It does nothing to stop that player from queueing into the same duties as you, joining a Party Finder group that you’re in but not hosting, or even entering your private player housing.
