Apparently there is a limit for how many people you can have blocked on b.net simultaneously. I'd estimate my list to be at around 100 people currently, and that seems to be the cap. There are a lot of people who don't know when to stop asking you for advice or 1v1s (and plenty of other questions). There are a lot more idiots who invite you to partys or games and I imagine the more famous players have lots more problems with this.

Then there are just the players whose chat you never want to read.

I'd pay $10 to increase the cap.

Blizzard should instead just implement white listing. Instead of having to just block everyone, only letting people who are on your white list should be able to msg you / invite you to parties / games / etc.

If you're going to take away being able to smurf then at least let us play in peace another way...

That must suck for you guys. Just from watching streams, I know every well know player gets spammed to death every second and if you can't block them, wow.

I was about to write about how you would find so many people to block, but then I looked at your name.

Yeah, that could be a big problem for famous players, I guess the only solution right now is to set your status on Busy until Bizzard can do something about this. :S

I agree with the TC.

my block list isn't people asking for advice though, just the people who cheese me and talk to me afterwords.

I haven't had to block THIS many people, but it's frustrating that there's a cap to realID friends and character friends as well (both 100 I believe).

I think it's every professional player's duty to answer every question posed by every stranger on BNet, and to endure every balance/rage/flame rant as well... -_-

In all seriousness though, Blizzard probably didn't expect many players to block 100+ people.

It will happen.
Also 10 bucks to increase buddylist size and joinable chat channels.
If you'll excuse me, I have a game to develop.

This definitely seems like the best way to solve this issue. It very easily could be an option you can adjust in the main menu under the Battle.net tab, you can choose white-listing or black-listing. ezpz. However, not to be an idiotic troll, if Blizzard continues to focus on unimportant things and ignores some very present issues, this will probably take a while to do. In their defense though, they've been doing better lately. But some wounds take a while to heal for me.

I'll see your $10 and raise you an extra $2 sir

It's pretty ridiculous that there is a limit - surely there is a logical way around that doesn't involve people paying money.

You can imagine the shit I get every time I log on to bnet
"You deserve to be gagged"
"You should quit life if you don't quit sc2"
"Just want to let you know how much you suck"

Like 10 seconds after I log on.
If bnet bans everyone who abuses someone else with legitimate reason (not being after losing a game and the guy PMs you to rage at you - thats ok :p)
People will stop sending SHIT.

I pay 10$ as well. Hell, even 100$ . f that.

take comfort in the fact, Kelly, that most of the idiots who say things like that aren't smart enough to tell the difference between Seguer and Moonglade.

Unfortunately, that's only a workaround and not a solution.
I can only imagine the BS that people like incontrol have to deal with on a daily basis. There's really no reason why Blizzard can't increase the limit, technologically or otherwise.

More than I find this limit ridiculous, I can't understand people spamming other people. Do they do it to piss people off or do they really lack a little common sense?

Haha, even though you wanted to put me on your list i really agree :D
i emptied my block list some time ago when it was full, in hopes the people which are on there just gave up.

That's terrible, you ever bother reporting them? People have been warned/banned on BNET for equivalent statements.
