Buddy List Inconsistency: Normal?

[Moirathea]

Hi,

I just have a generic question. I am currently looking at a player in my buddy list, who is stationed in Stronhad, with their combat stats showing upon inspection, but they have the general grey slashes through their character icon in my buddy list pane, to indicate being offline.

Is this a natural occurrence, given that players have just received the ability to go offline while AFK and still be logged in? If so, it might be a way to notify players when someone is AFK and offline but still logged in. I was just wondering if those using the AFK feature are supposed to have active faces in the buddy list, or if the slashes are normal. As such, this is more of a question than a bug report.

Thank you,
Moira Thea

You could always PM any given player assuming they aren't DND as well and find out if they are AFK or not. But I agree, would be kinda cool to have some sort of indicator.
