Blocking players won't hide you

[Daishi.6027]

um... I may be mistaken but I was pretty sure it blocked online status. Anyone who blocks me in PvP I cannot see their online status anymore even if I add them. Granted it's been a while since this happened, and I'm unsure if anything has changed over the past months. (be it a bug or oversight by a-net)

 

I know I'm blocked because if my first response to their whisper is "they aren't online" or something along those lines, I usually send mail to reply and that's when I find out I'm blocked.

Also if we're having a back and forth (meaning they clearly aren't appearing offline to start with) I seem to get the same outcome, maybe occasionally it was on a delay.

 

So unless they both blocked me AND now appear offline/rage quit I was always under the impression you couldn't see online status.

 

That said if it's not I do agree that it should hide it.
