Description

When using the /ignore command it doesn't block all contact with that player, I know this probably isn't "patch correct" but this isn't a feature that needs to be patch correct, its to prevent further harassment, the more /ignore actually ignores, the better.

In my case, I had grouped with a particularly frustrating group so I left it. Later the group members, unsure as to why i left (didn't feel i needed to explain myself but that's a different story) they invited me, I declined and told them I wasn't interested, however they didn't get the message and kept attempting to invite me, over and over again.

I threw them on /ignore in hopes that would block invites from that player, however that didn't work and I ended up being forced to shove the invite window in the corner of the screen so it wouldn't be so distracting having a dialog box appear every couple of seconds in the center of my viewspace.

In another case, /ignore doesn't /ignore members within the same guild/alliance. In most cases I don't know why you would NEED to ignore a player in your own private guild however due to the fact that we use starter guilds and their alliance chat to find groups, there's a lot of opportunity for obnoxious arguments to start, it would be LOVELY to cut through that chatter if only the /ignore function actually ignored anything.

Currently I can only /ignore a player I don't have any association with, what a wonderful use that is!

Reproduction Steps

1. /ignore somebody
2. have them /invite you
3. scratch your head in confusion and say "what's the point of this command?"

Intended Behavior

/ignore should IGNORE, if I have a problem with some guy and want to ignore them then this should block all communication with that particular person, including trades and invites from that individual, meaning, if someone were to change leadership of a group to another player and THEY invited, it should function as normal.

I mean it should be self explanatory.

Evidence

This isn't something that really needs proving, but it does need IMproving, heh heh, this is sort of a feature request but also not.
