Please reconsider. Have a poll on both Japanese and English forums (and the other languages) voting for this feature, please.

I think the development team is vastly over thinking this issue. If someone were to feel that harassed by emotes they should just report the player to a GM. Its no different than a player standing there and spamming the point emote at you all day either and that's not prevented. This just seems like an over protection of issue that doesn't exist.

We checked with the lead dev about this. It was planned from the beginning, not omitted for technical reasons, to keep the emote text for job emotes in the chat log. Since a few job emotes can be used on other players, if we were to hide the text from the log, there is a possibility it may be used as a means to harass people (just think if sprouts and chocobos are all over your head and you have no idea who is doing it!). To avoid this we decided to hide the job emote as well as the chat log text when the filter is on. We understand that you may not want to use the job emotes in rapid succession, or various emotes in a row, when they're constantly displayed in the log. However, we implemented the current specifications after careful consideration and don't have any plans on changing it.

BS ALERT!

That honestly sound ridiculous.

Sorry, but it just does. Theres only 2.

That'd be a first.

3 actually (WHM SMN BLU) but otherwise you are correct.

EDIT: On further thought this might be a quirk of japanese culture.

The bats from the DRK emote kinda fly towards the target of the emote if there is a target.

So the emote filter doesn't stop the animation?

IDK but the point is to keep the animation without the chat spam.

With the filter on you don't see the message in the chat log or the animation/effects.

OK how about have the /jobemote motion not apply to the emotes that target another player?
