I wouldn't mind appearing as
I wouldn't mind appearing as offline when I wanted to either. It's just annoying getting invites and all that when you just log on for 5 mins to check AH, use mist to craft etc.

1-Please tell me how..
1- Please tell me how someone's feelings can be hurt by saying no to them over something such as an a event in a game.
2- IF someone's feelings can be hurt by someone simply replying "no" to them about something like this, there is something obviously wrong with said person's level of sensitivity.
..Or is there something going on that i don't understand?

DUH
Cuz it may be a nooby friend who you don't feel like helping because it's a little irritating to have to pull them out of every mess and not have them cover their own back, but you don't want to be the one to tell them they suck/you just plain don't feel like helping them?
Especially when they're like:
-Dude help plox.
-I seriously need help down here, I'm getting creamed pretty please?
-Man I just got owned. help? XD
You feel sorry for them, but don't feel like helping them. Waste of your time/mist to go there and pull them out of the fire every single time they do a CW run. AND they don't improve.
This is like the 'Asking out your girlfriend' thing. Everyone's like 'Aw dude, you should just ask her' but you don't feel up to it because she may not like you/THAT way and if it doesn't work out, things could get awkward. Problem is, third party people don't understand that there are just some things that may complicate things, and that even if the issue is resolved, but with a turn down, then things are more likely than not to get awkward.
Being a third party means you don't quite see things the same way.

Thank you for your wonderful post explaining how being a third party means you don't see things the same way, however i was already very aware of this fact.
I still however have asked a completely different question.
Also, comparing asking someone out in real life to saying "No" to someone about something in a game isn't a good comparison in my opinion.

Uh....
Just asking, was that sarcasm?
Anyway, what I meant was that while you don't quite get how someone can be upset over a simple 'no', that's because you're not the person involved.
And when I say the person involved, I don't mean if you were in that situation. I mean if you were THEM. I'd tell you about how people experience emotions and that 'jazz' differently, but you probably already know that.
That 'asking someone out' example for how a third party doesn't normally understand how things in a particular situation, normally a on-on-one situation like these work, because of their lack of involvement.
However, I think I may have misread your original post. You were asking a genuine 'plz tell me so I get it?' question? If so, sorry, I interpreted it as a 'Pray tell me how this is possible. I dare you to try.'(That WAS exaggerated btw)

I Wasn't being sarcastic.
I Wasn't being sarcastic.
And as for my origional post, the meaning was to genuinely ask Oatmonster What the situation is, and because of that, how saying "No." Can hurt his "nooby" friend's feelings.

As well as seeing as their on your friends list, regardless of whether you can remember them or not, the fact that they're on that list for some people gives them the impression that they are a friend, of sorts, and you don't like upsetting your friends, and turning someone down for no apparent reason other than 'waste of my time/energy', 'no can't help want to do my own run' can sometimes feel a little harsh, in the user's opinion.
Either party is usually over-sensitive, leading to this situation. I should know.
Then that's the best answer I got.
and why would you want to do that? this isnt msn......
