So far my in game experience has been pretty good and I only have one person blocked and muted. It’s a bit odd though that they show up so prominently in my social screen and whether or not they are online/offline.
Sure tuck them away in a list someone in case I want to unblock them (it happens, I’ve made use of it in large guilds before when I need a break from certain people temporarily), but I don’t need them right there with my friends.
It’s a bit “Heeelllllo, you know this person you can’t stand? Here they are, right here, online right now. Wanna unblock them? Wanna say hi? Maybe they’ll be civil this time or maybe they’ll tell you to go f**k a goat just for breathing. WHO KNOWS! But here they are!”
