Yeah, you don’t really have very many options.
it’s not.
if i don’t want someone on my list, i remove them.
more to the point, i don’t add them to begin with if i don’t want them to see what i’m up to.
…but logic offends around here.
What logic?

I don’t understand?
the logic of taking control of ones own actions.
eg: stuff like not adding people to something like bnet, if you don’t want them to see you.
That isn’t logic. That is a subjective value, to which you’re entitled entirely. In my case it’s not always that I want to be unseen or unreachable, only some times when my mood calls for it. If you are not of the same type of socializer as me, that’s cool too, but it’s not logic. That’s all.

nope.
it is not logical to add people to bnet, knowing how it functions, and then complain that you don’t like how it functions.
don’t add them to bnet if you don’t like how it functions.
there are masses of other options available to keep in contact with people.

Again, that isn’t logic. And I am not claiming to be employing logic in my decision making here, either. You, like I said, are entitled to be of the thinking that whom you add should be able to see what you’re up to and if you’re online. I hold a different thinking and feel differently, that is all.

Seems like this could be easily remedied by the simple phrase “no thanks” or “I’m busy”.
Sounds like you need a new guild or new friends than.
of course it is.
there is no logic in doing something, if you don’t agree with it.
it is 100% voluntary, and 100% your choice.
you’re not being “forced” to do it.
Not only am I entitled, I am empowered by the options currently provided to me.
I am in control.
I get to choose.
you can think differently, and feel differently, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong.

Anyway, I choose to add players but would also like to be able to choose if and when they can see if I’m online in-game without removing them from my friends list. The fact that you don’t feel this way does not mean my preferences are illogical and that yours are.
And lastly, I have not said you were wrong once, have I?

…again, it makes no sense for you to be adding people, if you disagree with how it works.
This isn’t about feelings.

not going to bother with that link… i mean… there’s no point in trying to argue logic, especially when this is a request aimed at the bnet app, and we’re in the WoW forum.
(Logic would tell most people, that the bnet forum would be the place for this sort of feedback) 
I realize how it works and use it accordingly. Nevertheless, I support the OP’s suggestion (or some version of it).
Also, I link to the Wikipedia page for logic as you don’t seem to know what logic is, no offense. You may find some thing unreasonable, but reason and logic are two different things.

It would be unreasonable for me to add people to my bnet, if i didn’t agree with the workings.
It would be illogical (and selfish) for me to add people to my bnet, knowing how it works, and then ask for things to be changed to suit me.
The ‘logic’ you are using in that reply can be used, literally, in regard to any suggestion about anything. Also, I’m not denying reality here nor is anyone else in support of the OP’s suggestion. People see room for (what we deem) improvement and are therefore support of a suggestion for that improvement.
While the friends list functions as it does right now, I will use it as it is right now. A person can utilize something regardless of not finding that something optimal or entirely to their liking.

When my friends used to play I could not jump on and play an alt without being hounded to go run an instance. Sometimes I just wanted to level an alt, or farm mats. They always guilt tripped me because I wanted to relax and spend some time by myself.
Now my friends are all gone and I am always alone. Not sure why I have it set to offline now.

They’re not going to phase you out of the world so people can’t see you. It’s just there so you can go about your business without people on your friends list knowing that you’re even there. If people happen upon you, they happen upon you.
If you’re gonna appear offline then just laze about in Dazar’alor all day, don’t be surprised if people find you.
It’s way less awkward to run into friends/guildies while appearing offline than you think it is. Most people just shrug it off.

So anyone that doesn’t agree with you completely is a troll? 
p.s. I already said I don’t care if it’s added or not. It’s just very hypocritical to call Blizzard lazy when you’re the one trying to get out of doing something.
