I believe every solo player navigating the Looking for Group (LFG) tool shares a history of blood and tears: depleted keys and unavoidable "nightmare" teammates. They act all polite before getting the invite, but the moment the key is inserted, they ninja-pull, never interrupt, rage-quit over the slightest disagreement, or are just purely toxic.
To protect our fragile keys and our blood pressure, and to ensure a good mood while playing, I used my spare time to write this Mythic+ blacklist add-on ("Bird's Blacklist"). I originally made it for my own use, but realizing that many players out there share the exact same pain points, I decided to polish it up and release it for everyone to use.
The features are very simple and straightforward for quick adding/removing:
-
Quick Add: Simply right-click on a player's portrait (or their name in the chat box) and select "Add to Blacklist" from the drop-down menu.
-
Custom Notes: When blacklisting someone, it supports entering a reason (for example: "Leaver," "Pure slacker," "Toxic/Rager," "No interrupts"). The faintest ink is better than the best memory, so you'll know exactly why they are there if you run into them again.
-
Auto-Scan & Warning: When you join a group, the add-on automatically scans your party members. If an "old acquaintance" is detected, a warning will pop up in your personal chat box (visible only to you, to avoid alerting them).
-
Mouseover Alerts: Hovering your mouse over a blacklisted teammate will also trigger sound and text alerts.
How to open the main interface: Type /sblist in your chat box.
You are all welcome to test it out. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or feedback!
