It would be nice if I could signal that either

1. I'm hoping someone will invite me to group, and conversely signal that

2. I want to be left alone to solo/mechlab/etc.

3. Custom text field ("want to drop on a 12-man", "stock mech monday" and so on)


Edit:
I'm open to in-thread suggestions for any other standard status you would want to show. I have 30 or 40 custom statuses in my chat app.

I always thought about this as well....my two ideas were to make the in game name appear in a color or maybe a small triangle in the top corner of the faction avatar. Like a green triangle for "Invite Me" and a red one for "Do Not Disturb" maybe a Yellow for "AFK" or something similar. Would be beneficial to them and stop some of the third party software use.

All we need next is VOIP!

i approve of this idea
would make a nice addition to the social screen
would be particularly useful for those random friends ya pick up during play

[Redshift2k5]

Great idea

Plus, people may feel less need to create Alt accounts so they can play undisturbed. Rejecting repeated group invites makes you feel like you're being rude or unfriendly.

Excellent idea.

[Magna Canus]

Agree, it would be nice.

Good idea, let's you know who to contact or NOT contact at a glance.
