New bug: if ONE guy in a squad is blocked by you, the squad won't show up in LFG for you (lemmy.wtf)

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.

I genuinely also doubt that it's a bug, but if it's not it's fucking retarded and I decided to take the nicer option. Somehow I feel like GW2 is absolutely falling apart. Who in his right mind breaks LFG in such a way? Every halfway sane person would come up with block working like you described, but whoever is in charge seems completely decoupled from reality and utterly void of any reason. I can think of no other way how a mind can look at such a design and go "this is good design". So the bloke I blocked because he's a raging cunt at every opportunity now also ruins my LFG by virtue of simply existing. Amazing.

God have mercy on this game.
