Ability to group friends + choose which group(s)/friend(s) can view what game your playing atm

First of, if this is the wrong place to post this suggestion, I apologize for that.

Ability to group friends
The somewhat recently added feature of being able to group servers, makes me think this next thing might be something the people wants. The main idea is that you can index your long friend list into groups based on game, relationship, etc.

Chose which group(s) / friend(s) can view what game your displaying as playing
Furthermore, just like with facebooks online status, being able to chose whom sees the game your currently displaying as a status message could encourage people to more often use this function.
*Imagine* Being a guild leader in a MMORPG and having 50+ friends (from your guild alone) that would start bombarding you with messages each time they see you start playing. The solution, if I might be so bold, would be i.e. only letting certain groups like "close friends" see which games you are playing. This way, you'd be able to avoid the unwanted conversations you'd usually dodge by not using the function. I have more ideas on the topic, but let's just see if people agree with me on this first.

Thank you for reading.

    Would be a great feature, I’m always hesitant on adding people because I may not always want to play with them later.

    Grouping friends would be awesome.

    irl friends
    game friends
    friends from a certain server

    there are so many possibilities that I could think of. Friends list is unmanageable atm
    If this is ever implemented you should be able to have a default group your friends go to, then you can choose to move them into whatever group you like. That way you can add dozens of friends if you want to be able to talk but easily remove all of the ones in the default group while keeping the other ones.

    Just the ability to group friends into custom groups would be amazing as a first pass. Additional properties after that is a nice to have. I don't have a huge friend list and it is already frustrating, so I couldn't imagine how impossible it would be for people who have hundreds.
