Description
There is currently no way in-game to let others know that you have temporarily left the computer. Considering how important chat is in EVE, adding an 'AFK Button' by which others can see that you are AFK would improve chat functionality.
Pros
Improved chat functionality.
Cons
As long as it is voluntary (and not forced after x amount of time), there is little potential for abuse or unwillingly supplying intel to the enemy.
