    Blocking Players Impacting Matchups

    LS has truly awoken some issues that are player, game, and community driven.

    Does blocking a player on XB1 prevent them from being added to my cue or prevent us from being placed in the same DZ in the future?

    I want players to play how they want to and I would like their play to not impact mine.

    Does blocking have any impact on the game and if it doesn't, can it? Please?

    One problem about allowing blocking is that some people will put up a block on people that are competition to them.

    For example, let's say there's a rogue that's causing a ruckus, but there's someone who keeps eliminating him. He can just block them and refresh his DZ. They can continue to block anyone who can stop them until no one can.

    On the flipside, let's say there's a guy farming away. A rogue shows up, he blocks them. He does this to every rogue he comes across, and eventually he's never at risk and the high-risk high-reward concept of the DZ is no longer valid.

    Now take the 2nd point further, what if every one keeps blocking that rogue? Eventually, he'll never be matched up with anyone in his Dark Zones, effectively cutting him off from a feature of the game (being able to gank people, which IS a part of the game).

    It should but Massive likes people to be trolls so don't count that ever happening.
