When I change my status to “Invisible”, it cuts off the guild chats. I think it shouldn’t work like that. In some moment I want to not be seen, but I still would like to be able to read all the chats, and answer if I have a will to.
The status change to “invisible” cuts off only the guild chats.

Also, we can’t whisper to invisible people. I think that this should be changed too, but with the extra condition maybe, like:
The message will be delivered to the person who is invisible, only if that person has you on friend list.

“Invisible” is not “offline”.
Can you consider a change of this, or explain the reason it works like that?

So others don’t should know that you read their texts, even so they don’t know that you’re there? That is unfair.

“Invisible” is not “offline”.

In my opinion, invisible is “I don’t want to be seen or contacted because I want to do things undisturbed”

Being invisible is exactly that, you cannot be target of a whisper, you cannot whisper to others and you cannot talk in Guild chats. You only can talk to where you currently are, in /say or in /map.

“Invisible” is meant to work as “Offline”. I don’t know why Anet chose to do it this way, but it’s just how it works. If you want to see guild chat, you just will have to not be set to Invisible.

As a side note, none of this is a Bug, and so this post would probably be better suited for the Guild Wars 2 Discussion or Players Helping Players subforums.

The guild chat+invisible status is a bug they’ve tried to quash multiple times.

Also, the reason you cant whisper people who are invisible is so if I dont want to be bothered by some random kittens or idiots, I can go invisible and they cant message me. If you want to message someone who is or appears offline and have it go through, send them a mail, that’s what it’s there for as well.

edit: @the other posters, do some history checks as well. Gaile’s said it’s a bug they’ve fixed in the past, only to have it crop up again.
