    I would agree that this would ofc be the optimal thing, but I have a feeling that it might be difficult to integrate such an option, and hence is why I said it should be possible to toggle /tells "on" or "off" while busy. This way the ppl that wanne recieve tells must accept the negative side of it (gil seller-tells), and the ppl that don't wanne recieve tells must accept the "negative" side of not getting any tells from anyone.

    When reading this discussion thread I feel ppl are not very objective. Having an option to show others that one is busy (either doing stuff in game or watching telly or whatever else, but not really afk per say) and then decide if one wants to receive tells or not while being busy should satisfy everyone's needs because:
    1. those that used "afk" instead of "busy" will now be able to show ppl that they can't do stuff, but are not shut out of getting messages.
    2. those that use "busy" to be shut off from everyone entirely will still be able to do so
    3. "afk" will now actually mean that ppl are "afk" instead of "i don't wanne do stuff or be bothered, but I'm still here".

    I really can't see the downside of having an "on/off"-option for /tells on "busy"-status. Everyone that like the new "afk"-situation will still have that, and those that don't like it will then have another option to use (which in reality would prolly be the status they would've used in the first place had the option of /tells been there from the beginning). An option like this won't affect ppl that like the statuses as they are now, but will benefit for those that are having issues with the new un-afk-situation.

    As for the unintentional un-afk (by for example accidently moving your mouse/pushing a single button/etc), it could easily be avoided by putting in a 5 second delay before un-afk happens. If your mouse or keyboard is used more than 5 secs I'm pretty sure you're not afk anymore.
