Figured there was something fishy for a while now and it seems I finally figured it out.
So if your meta squad of 40+ people that you’re usually join is doing its round and one guy that you have blocked because he’s a cunt, joins it before you do, you don’t see the entire squad and can get fucked. you can still join via /squadjoin, but only if you know that it’s there.
Time to run around spamming slurs to get on as many block lists as possible and then join squads, making them invisible to others.
That HAS got to be a bug.
Edit: So I’ve tested it a bit and it seems like it’s been turned on its head. A commander blocking you does not block you from seeing his squad in LFG. But someone joining that squad that YOU have blocked, immediately removes that squad from LFG for you. Like, no refresh needed. Instantly gone for you.
Fun fact: If someone blocks YOU, you still see the squad in LFG. But as soon as YOU block someone, THAT squad where he is hin gets removed from your LFG.
Fucking hell.
Is this actually a thing? I have hundreds of people on my block list! And LFG is barren!
NA LFG is more barren than EU LFG, so that might be another reason for you. Though it was a thing when I tested it. Gonna test it again to check if it’s fixed.
Edit: it’ s not fixed. If A is blocked by you and happens to be in a squad, that squad will not be shown to you in LFG. Doesn’t matter if A is the commander or just some random bloke, people blocked by you also block squads they enter from being seen in LFG by you. It’s fucking removed.
It would be a major problem if it really is a thing. It would encourage people to not use the block feature.
It IS a thing and it IS easily exploited. Run aroud be a raging cunt, get everyone to block you then join the most popular meta trains or whatever.
