With people in-game, and not knowing if they're away, it's difficult to even tell if messages are being seen, or if someone is AFK. Some people also don't have the best coordination, so this would help a lot to be able to tell if someone actually saw messages others send. It might make the chat a bit more useful, as it seems redundant given all the other communication methods.

It would have a text string on the bottom with something along the lines of "Message last seen at [time]" where this is already:

ss 2015-01-24 at 06 00 06

It would also be triggered by looking at the chat window of the sender on the receiver's end.
