It's an insane mess. Block some dude that fucks your mum in PvP, then have him join some random meta train later. This squad's LFG entry will now be hidden for you. You can't see it. Congratulations, by blocking some cunt you just limited your ability to participate in the game.
I feel like the game is being hold together by spit and voodoo.
