When you type the /afk emote, your online status should be changed to either Away or even "AFK".
When you're back and move in game, trade or some other form of interaction the status should be reset to Online.
Addition: This could also be shown in the Guild list. The icons beside the names could be changed to reflect status as well, much like Windows Live Messenger does.
[Suggestion] /afk and your online status

I think they should just do that for the Away option in the friends list and then like you said when you do something it's back online.

/Notsigned because of the very very small amount of time it takes to set your status to away or online.

The game could also set you 'afk' or 'away' if you dont do anything for 5-10 minutes, and this could be completely client side like the 'Please take a break' notification or sumthink ~

But for /afk, not for /sit!
I sit lot of times, when taunting enemies chasing me, while in dialogs in missiones, etc...
There could be an option to the 'general' tag:
[X] Set away status automatically after this time: [input box]

I believe this would be very simple for Guild Wars to implement.

Nothing at all like this in the game yet. At least WoW has it :P
MithranArkanere
Yup. Both automatically after some minutes and directly by using the emote.
Chrono Re delle Ere
ye it's a good idea. Happens so many times that I go afk, forget about the friend list and when I am back I see tons of whispers...

Make it something toggle-able.
I'd also like something to the effect of "Every time you enter a GvG, your status is automatically set to 'Do Not Disturb'." that you could toggle.

It's not fun at all. I personally played it for about 4 months, thinking it was eventually going to get fun, and it never did. I went right back to GW. If you want to bask in your WoW-faggotry, take it somewhere else, because it has nothing on Guild Wars (except player-base size, but 95% of the people that play it are douchebags anyway).
MithranArkanere
Forget about WoW.
Just think if it will be good for GW or not.

I hate when I start messaging someone and it keeps spamming they're Away when they're answering, so they're obviously not away. This idea makes a lot of sense.

Wrote /afk ingame about 10 mins ago and has the same idea. Makes sense.
The status should change back to online once you move or chat or open a window.

It would be nice if the screen went like the login screen:
- First person, hidden UI and moving in circles.

I often forget to remove the ''away'' status when I come back, this would be very useful.
