How About An "Incognito" Player Status?

[Bloody]

Chill if you dont want to be social set yourself busy if you still want to receive tells add ppl outside of the game. The point if you gave such status it wouldn't make a nice impression for new players. Busy status is fine as it is if someone stalk you report. Lol And your rl example doesn't make sense since u can try to talk someone. Imagine all ppl with status that let u receive /tells only from friends. New ppl wouldn't have such a nice time playing a game and I say this as a person who plays alone alot of times and not being social myself much Ig and irl.

I think you misread the OP. The idea is actually quite nice for filtering out RMT without otherwise interfering with the ability to communicate with other players, and also hides you from stalkers (which is a thing, this is the internet and anonymity brings out the worst in some people).

What the OP said about blocking tells and invites, if you re-read, is:

While allowing your LS, Friends, FC mates, and anyone in proximity of you to still /tell, invite to group, whatever.

All the newbie who /tell you will be doing it in proximity when they see you running by. No negative impression left at all.
