Allow Appearing Offline

Currently, when I'm busy working on something, such as scripting, and can't respond to IMs, I set myself as "Unavailable". However, people who aren't physically near my avatar don't see this status—it’s only visible locally. As a result, they continue sending IMs and receive no reply, making me appear rude or dismissive.
It would be ideal if we had the option to select an "Offline" status, allowing us to appear offline to everyone, including contacts.
I know there's the option to disable the global "eye" icon, but this works poorly when you have more than 500 contacts, as it updates each one individually, and some contacts fail to reflect the change.
An "Offline" status would be much simpler and would let us focus on our tasks without fear of disappointing friends.
