[request] Appear Offline option

But besides that, what seems unacceptable about another option? It's not like this would take away or replace anything.

You made the claim that what we have is unacceptable; it was fair for me to ask why.
It still sounds like the problem is with people who don't understand and respect what it means for you to be /busy, which is not a problem with the system. If you can explain to us here that sometimes you just want to play with your SO, surely you can explain it to your friends as well?

I never stated that Busy status was unacceptable or had a problem with it. It just simply lacks a function that I'd like to have as an alternative. That's what I meant but "doesn't cut it". For it's function, it works fine. I just want a different function from a different status.

Also there is not an issue with explaining it to the friends. It has already been a few times in fact. But it'd be much easier to just stop having to repeatedly explain to people and stop being bothered, while still keeping people on friends list so I can interact with them like normal the rest of the time. It's honestly more of a convenience thing.
