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.
