The main reason why this would help is due to the Zulie-drop spammers, trade chat spammers for scamming websites, and abusive players in-game; glitchers and all the rest. The in-game community is much larger than the forum community, and the only way we have to report people currently is to use the forums (through PM,) or to submit a ticket, which half of the time never works, doesn't get responded to (I've read multiple instances,) or the person trying to report a player is not of the English Language/Culture.
A very simple report system (with blocks on how to avoid people abusing it, such as requiring Zulie or some other instance,) would be a very good addition to the game.

An add-on to this system would be sending a chat log and/or a screenshot of the client as soon as the report is sent, and possibly a log of recent events (ignoring chat functions,) such as if someone proclaims to be scammed. The whole instance could be manipulated and used as you want and could provide optimal services. It could also allow players to send in bug reports while in-game instead of having to come onto the forums to post (but may do so as well.)
...
The ignore function works for people harassing you verbally, but it does not fix anything in regards to people stalking you, players continually advertising scam sites via Trade Chat or Shout, and does nothing against people dropping zulie in order to lag and crash the server. It does nothing in UW or other maps where players glitch in order to gain an advantage, etc etc.
