I really don’t know if this is a bug or a feature:

i think some of us know that when you’re online in GW1 (and your accounts are connected) the online state is also shown in GW2 like if you’re on the character selection screen there. I think it’s a bit annoying not only for those who care about privacy issues.
Friends can PM you in GW2 even when you are not online there – of course you cannot see or reply to it which is very annoying for them since they don’t know that you’re in GW1.

Suggestions to fix this:

  • make an option to show GW1 online state in GW2 or not (possibly in both games)
  • make it clear in GW2 that a player is playing GW1 and cannot reply (or not even be PM’d)
  • remove the GW1 online state completely from GW2 (if the above doesn’t work)

(Not to mention the major security flaw because it seems both games are using the same login servers and creditentials… but thats another story)
