But it seems to defeat the privacy purpose of offline mode a little bit if you can tell that they are playing in offline mode. I always assumed that it would show your last listed online character when you are playing in offline. No idea actually and you could be right.
I don't think it means they are logged into the character creation screen, because there are people I see on the guild rosters who must therefore always be in this screen and never be playing.
I think they are always playing on offline mode, or they have me on their ignore list. It seems like as though the most sensible way for the ignore feature to operate would be that the ignored player can see the other player when they are online, but the ignoring player does not receive any communications from the ignored player, and does not see their tells in chats. But I'm not sure whether it actually does work this way.
I don't really care much either way, but it just would be interesting to know. I tried to find information about it in the FAQ's, but I couldn't find it.
