Suggestion(s)/Comment(s): Add an AFK auto reply message to the game.
Details: There have been times where I have been the dedicated invite person to get War Heroes / Mercs into my guild for guild bosses like Khan. Or friends that message me and I'm AFK fishing and they may think I'm ignoring them, lol! I have played some MMOs that have AFK auto replies in the game so that when they send you a direct private message, it auto replies to them you're AFK and a message you typed when you'll be back, or what you may be doing.

How the games turn this on, is like this as an example. Let's say I want an AFK message to appear automatically if someone messages me. This is what I woud do:
/afk I'll be right back in a few minutes, I'm making some food.
When I get a private message, it would auto reply back to that person. They would instantly get an auto reply and it would say extactly what I typed. They would know I'm busy but I'm coming right back. Or it may say, I'm gone for the night, see you tomorrow. With AFK fishing this would help a lot!
Then to turn it off, one would simply just type /afk and now the message is off and they are back at the keyboard with no AFK auto reply.
Thanks,

I like this afk idea. Also, related
For hiring war heroes, do we really _really_ need a popup box that interrupts everything (chats, horse training, combat, hiring another war hero, everything) that requires us to click 'OK' before continuing anything else?

Oh you're talking about why does it say "A war hero has joined" after you invite one in and you have to hit OK or it won't go away? I agree, I don't think we need that at all. It does interupt gameplay while grinding, life skilling, ect.

Maybe it's a neat idea, but it's a waste of developer resources, and wouldn't get used nearly as much as you think it would. It'd be a coding nightmare to implement.
Just respond to messages when you can. People understand that when they don't get an immediate response, it's probably because you're preoccupied.

Oh I understand the development part. I've just seen it in other games and it was such a nice feature to have in them. If they can, great! If not, we move on just like the other 1000 things that would be nice to have that are not here lol :)

in my opinion QOL is always worth the dev time upvoted.
I know PVP in the games kinda meh spot atm but PVE is improving I mean thier real quick reveal for the new stuff looks awesome. Im hoping thats our tower mode they hinted at a bit ago.
now if they could just give better cosmetic chase rewards for the group PVE content. just silver doesnt cut it its why no ones queueing up.

Yep, I agree! I appreciate all the QOL things they have done thus far. I'm glad to see a 10+ year old game is still getting a lot of attention by devs and continues to improve. I've been very happy with the game in general, so I've been around for a while with no plans of leaving BDO.
