    Impossible to tell if someone's AFK or using /gpose

    EDIT: I guess my title might be a bit misleading. It's less about manually using /gpose, and more about the idle camera function on auto-AFK. Sorry for any confusion!

    So in patch 3.5, they added the Camera Mode icon so you can tell when someone is using the /gpose function, which I think is a really nice addition. However, coupled with the option to switch to the idling camera when auto-AFK activates, I often find it impossible to tell if people are actually using /gpose or if they're AFK.

    Since I have the auto-AFK idling camera option turned on, the AFK icon never activates on my character anymore. Instead, everyone sees the Camera Mode icon next to my name when I'm away. Many of my friends have this option turned on as well, essentially making the AFK status useless for us all.

    I think that the logical solution to this would be to have the AFK icon take precedence over anything else if your status is set to be AFK. That way, when you see the Camera Mode icon, you know that said person is actually using the camera, and when you see the AFK icon, you know they're actually AFK.
