I honestly wonder how Blizzard functions as a company.

"You know that feature that every single internet application has, to the extent that it's about as much a feature as an engine is a "feature" of a car? Yeah, let's develop a game for a decade and release it without it. And then take 2 years to announce we're putting the feature in. Sound good? Cool. From now on, I say we do that for everything possible."

Finally we get this, oh how many times I didn't play SC2 because of it. :C

But with SC2 it's almost useless because someone can just check your Match History and see you were playing and another type of crap will flood it. "OMFG you were online and playing games without saying something are you hiding from me or something ?" -.-"

I wonder what they'll break when implementing this.

To all the people who feel they need a feature to hide or not talk to people, there's this great real life feature called "ignoring you for real"

About time. One of the first games to implement advanced friends lists, and one of the last to provide basic functions like invisible mode.

Maybe in 2014 we'll get clans and other basic things.

IMO Starcraft will get better and better, so in LotV we'll have RTS as big as BW was. Blizzard plan was to get us mad with WoL so we will love them again in LotV!

I guess it would help with starcraft. Don't really see the need for it in WoW though.

Finally!

I don't really see the need for it in SC2! Really, sometimes you just like to be left alone and not need to explain yourself why you don't want to join X or Y.

I wonder if the people who are saying this should have been in the game on release, are the same people who complain that battlenet feels like a ghost town
