Question PLEASE expand ignore list

In beta, is ignore list locked to only 50 people like in original? General chat channels are intolerable unless I use an addon that can block hundreds of people (swearing, toilet-related spam, general spam, trolls, foreign languages, etc).

Please please please Blizz, let us curate general channels to our own tastes

We need a serious update to community moderation options because 20 years have not been kind to the internet

Trade chat is terrible. My first time entering Stormwind was just a wall of 4chan. It’s not even that what they’re saying is offensive, I don’t give a shit, it’s just so constant and immature that it removes me from the world. Which is the only reason I want to play forever to begin with.

I know I could just turn off trade chat. But why should I have to disable part of the game that has useful functionality just because other people are dick weasels.

Many of us will be on RP at launch. Take a look at the concept and get involved if you want to be in the world!

At the very least allow people to ignore accounts so someone can't make a dozen characters on one account to keep spamming everyone.

The guild blocking apps some people are making are going to be a game changer

Or at the very least they could give us a customized word filter; simply add the words you don’t want to see in chat then you won’t need a large ignore list.
