"Player X cannot reply to you because your status is Offline/Do Not Disturb"
creelie
I can't tell you how many times people have whispered me asking things, and I couldn't whisper back because they were playing as Offline or Do Not Disturb. If it's for a PUG I can just say something addressed to them in Local, but if I'm on their friends list all I can do is change my own status quickly and repeatedly and hope they notice. We get notifications that someone might not reply if they are Away, and that we cannot whisper them if they are Do Not Disturb or Offline; why don't they get a similar notification when they whisper someone?

That'd would be a good idea. /signed

Don't agree with that beacuse most of the time that kind of stuff is used for abuse. RA brats "I SET DND AND WHISPER U!!11 JAJAJAJAJA!!!".
I do however think if YOU whisper someone while you have offline/DND active, you should get a little message "Player X will be unable to respond because your online status is set to Offline/Do Not Disturb".

I disagree with the OP simply because Gaile Gray's chatbox would explode if this were implemented. Also, no automatic status change. That defeats the purpose of setting your status in the first place.

All needed would be a red cross (or similar) in the chat window to remind you that your set to Offline/Do Not Disturb.

I like using DND and offline, usually remember I am in it, but I have been in the situation where trying to trade with someone that is still set to offline too.
Anytime that I whisper someone while they can't reply I at least tell them that in my first whisper, usually also means I am not looking for a response.

Offline, I'm good with the suggestion.
DND - I often PM people when I'm on DND (i.e. team members), but don't want to be bombarded with a bunch of warning messages reminding me that I'm on DND.

I cannot stand the constant people who will whisper you, but they're on DnD. People like this annoy me, since they think they're so tough that they hide behind DnD and constantly insult you, while you cannot reply to them either.

There is nothing more frustrating when you're trying to reply to someone set on Offline or DND! The status message will be fine, as long as it doesn't spam the sender's window. The whisperer should only get a message once every time the other person hear's the "ding" sound if you get what I'm saying. For example, if I get a whisper from someone I hear the ding sound, then it stops until there is a pause between whispers. The warning message should function in the same way.

It would be helpful if a lot of traders realized they were on offline status when trying to sell things too -.-

Honestly though, I think they should make it so you can't send whispers if you can't recieve whispers.

/signed only if I get the message once, on the first time they message me. If it were every time, someone could spam someone on DnD and they'd get a bunch of spam messages.

I think this is a very practical Idea
But being able to be whisped while you are set to DnD is definitely a no here, I feel it makes DnD pointless =/

several of you are misinterpreting what was suggested.
The suggestion works like this: Offline guy's window-
Player offering trade: WTS Gwen's Broken Flute 40k.
Offline guy: He, I want to buy your trade item, where you at?
Announcement: Player offering trade will not be able to respond to you as you are offline.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Player offering trade's window:
Player offering trade: WTS Gwen's broken flute 40k.
Offline guy: HE, I want to buy your trade item, where you at?
Player offering trade: Next to merchant.
Announcement: Offline guy is not online.
---------------------------------------------------------------
the only change in announcements is in the window of the player that is set to offline and initiating a whisper. The receiving player gets no message about Offline guy being offline until the respond, as usual.
It's a good suggestion for a heads up to those that may have been away and returned only to forget they reset their status.

VERY annoying situation. The only kindofwayaround I've found, is to invite the 'offline' player to my guildhall, that sometimes sparks an awareness. Definitely something that's been overlooked for too long.

Best option would be if you are unable to receive a whisper because you are DND or similar status, then you are unable to send a message at all.
I don't want a message about their status after I take the time and trouble to answer them, I should know before so I know not to bother.
