because avoiding them doesn't necessarily mean you'll never have to play with them ever again. If there are no other available, suitable lobbies, the game will still put you in with those players. It's the same across every game on XBL as far as I can tell.
I take it the other post got deleted, I've given up avoiding people I must have avoided well over 500 people lately but I still get matched with them so I don't bother now.
The system doesn't work very well because the player count is dropping all the time.
as said before, if the game has no one else to pair you with, it WILL put you in the same lobby as those you avoided regardless. the avoidance is not a 100% guarantee to not be paired with those people. it literally says in the sentence that avoiding those people will make it less likely for you to be in the same matches with them. it doesnt say you wont ever be put with them ever again. like i said, its not a 100% guarantee.
the other thing is, even IF you do avoid them, they can still join your match another way. if you are still in their recent players list (holds 30 recent players) then they can join you if that icon shows up. (only if they were really being annoying). in that case the only way to avoid that is by avoiding and appearing offline so they cant join you.
well, its not Activision. Activision is mainly there for marketing and thats about it for them.
i would have to say that it would be IW responsibility since it is their servers. MS doesnt interfere with gaming companies matchmaking unless it violates the XBL TOS or COC.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS MUTE EVERY PLAYER [ON THE XBL PAGE, NOT IN GAME] YOU AVOID. BECAUSE IT WILL PUT YOU IN THERE WITH THEM. WHEN I SEE THAT RED X NEXT TO A NAME I KNOW TO BACK OUT ASAP. WELL WORTH THE EXTRA .45 SECONDS IT TAKES TO MUTE.
If you avoid players excessively it starts to ignore you.
I dont know what kind of numbers it takes or if its in a certain time frame, but according to ms, thats how it works. So if you are going to avoid players, make it a point to just avoid the ones who really deserve it.
