AFK Messages

[AutumnKiss]

<p>Have you ever found yourself wishing you could save an AFK message that you find yourself typing over and over as time goes on?  I know I do!</p><p>Devs, it would be really cool if we could save a default AFK message... I personally find myself typing "... having ice-cream!" on a daily basis, and would be much happier if I could set that as my default message.  Maybe someone goes afk "... taking care of laundry" or "... spousal aggro".  If we could type /afk and still be witty and charming to those trying to reach us, I would lub j00 long time!</p>

I've had a default /afk message for years now.  All you do is make a macro - type /AFK *Is happily eating icecream. If you disturb her you might cause a brain freeze*  and place the new macro icon on your hotkeys and use that to go away from keyboard.

<p>Yes, macros are all fine and good... but really, wouldn't it be much nicer if we could have something in our UI that was already set that way, and we wouldn't have to go through making a macro?  You set your default message, and when you type /afk that message is used.</p><p>I guess I'm just kind of [Removed for Content] that way... I like things to be organized and useful when I know the tools are there to make it happen.  /shrug</p>
