FC Notifications

The other thing to do is set up the 4th chat log window so only game messages are displayed and disable all sound notifications for chat. That way you can switch to the 4th window and you won't even see the Hellos or any other message sent your way.

That's counterproductive for the base reason to want an invisible mode, which is to go in without people seeing you enter (so they don't say hi, requiring you to either respond or seem rude by ignoring them).

Setting up your chat filter to ignore them by default is not the solution here.

Neither is being invisible if you're still online playing and someone who knows you runs into you standing in Limsa or wherever. It's only going to work if you do nothing but sit in your house or apartment with the door locked.

Have chat hidden plus setting status to Busy does solve the problem. Most people get there are times we don't want to be bothered and they'll respect the Busy status.

But if someone really wants to be avoiding others completely, logging into a MMO is not the way to accomplish it. Better to log into a single player game where there is no one else at all.
