IF you have your account set to APPEAR OFFLINE.
if someone is on your friend’s list they will show you as offline - great -
but is there any other way they can see you online other than maybe bumping into you out in the world
Appear offline is only for battle.net friends. I do not believe that it extends to the in-game friends’ list.
And no, there’s no way of completely hiding that you’re logged in while playing WoW to my knowledge.

So unless they have me added to the in-game friend’s list and only have me on the battle net, appear offline will work?
I guess so, yes. But there’s nothing stopping them from adding you to their friends’ list in-game, nor is there a way for you to know for sure if they have or not.

So basically Blizz gives people a way to harass you, and stalk you and you never know or can do nothing?
reporting to blizz game masters do no good, been talking to them for days and nothing is being done
Electraz,
We have answered several of your tickets about this - but I see none reporting someone for harassment.
If you have them on /ignore - and they circumvent that, please do report them. That’s not allowed.
Someone can friend you and still see you - but they won’t be able to talk to you if you have them on /ignore.

This is someone that has MULTIPLE Accounts, I do not know all of the accounts and toons they use.
so what your telling me is that APPEAR offline is useless and that the only way to get away from someone like this is to either A) deal with it myself (b) leave the game and move on??
Not at all. Just keep reporting them for harassment on each character that harasses you and putting them on ignore. The account associated with that character will be blocked from contacting you. If they have numerous accounts they will eventually all be blocked. But it’s important to report the harassment too.

then what good is APPEAR OFFLINE?
they should just remove it if its not going to do what it should
The appear offline is for battle net friends, it wasn’t made in mind in terms of in-game like WoW. The whole battle net thing is mainly keeping in touch with friends who are in a given game, like Overwatch, WoW, etc. to talk to them without having to log in if they’re playing another game.

then its useless in this case
I will deal with this my own self I guess since its obvious Blizz does not have my back on this
instead, they want me to constantly have to report someone over and over every time they make a new account, new name etc…
the person I am talking about has MAX number or wow license on EVERY account (Battle net accounts)
So lets say for example:
8 wow license per battle net account x 10 battle net accounts …
hmmmmmm 80 different /ignores
Except that they do. If you’ve been harassed, you haven’t put in any tickets for it according to Orlyia.
It’s hard for them to have your back if they don’t know about the situation.
Blizzard gives us the tools to block people on our own and to report those who try to bypass it. If you choose to take things into your own hands, be sure not to violate any rules yourself.

I HAVE opened tickets, in fact, have had for days now…
They do know about it.
how the heck do you expect to do the /ignore with someone like what I mentioned?
not to mention he is always adding new battle net accounts so how am I supposed to get ahead of this crap
But you need to use the ongoing harassment option, as noted in the blue post.

You have opened questions about the way the system works, Electraz.
I’m not seeing any harassment complaints on characters on this account.
If you put them on /ignore - and they bypass that - that’s when you put in a harassment ticket.

seems to me Blizz would know by now how to make it so someone could go TOTALLY INVISIBLE to someone
OK, but they don’t, for whatever reasons that are known only to them. The system works the way it works because that’s how they want it to work.
You’ve been given your answer(s) multiple times. By staff even.
