I love my friends and what not, but sometimes when I just want to run single player by myself getting swarmed with private messages from 12+ people is irritating. Especially when they take it personal that I don't want to quit what I am doing (Neph. Valor buff) to come help them with something. To casuals this translates into "Diablo is more important to you than I am, and you don't like playing it with me."
I tried removing some of my friends from my friends list, but they still show up as recent players and threw an absolute fit. If there isn't a way to appear offline, I really hope that Blizzard considers adding this feature in the future.
I thought you could appear Available, Busy or Offline by choosing one of those options in the dropdown? I am not at my home PC now, so I can't remember.

BurningRope#1322 (US~HC) Request an invite to the official (NA) <dfans> Clan
Sometimes my game gets in a weird state and I appear offline and my friends can't see me or invite me to games, but I can invite them to my game.
This bug is the feature we want!
Then you're playing the wrong game - d3 is all about giving Bobby K sixty bucks to be his beta-testing, monetization-model lab rat.
