It seems SE is worried that without the chat spam you won't notice that someone is giving you a chocobo on the head. But if you don't notice it, is it really harassment? It's like someone holding up 2 fingers behind your head to give you 'bunny ears'.

No one really gives a damn if some douche is giving you bunny ears, what we do give a damn about is some douche standing in pj with his annoying chat spam showing off his frog to everyone in the zone.

Meh.. at least the frog is funny... people spamming barspells in Port Jeuno, now THAT is abbrassive...

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!).

That would be sound reasoning, if the initiating job didn't have motions of it's own. Sudden sprout on your head? Maybe the guy who just crossed his arm Blue Mage style had something to do with it, I dunno... Bob just made a toss motion, and now there's a bandage on my head, those couldn't be in any way related, could they? I seriously hope this was a spur of the moment excuse, and not what someone was really thinking, because the process is just all kinds of wrong. Sometimes it feels like this game is being made with the base assumption that the average FFXI player is an idiot. ... Not to say that that assumption is incorrect, but it's still insulting when you program for it so blatantly.

I understand why they did it, but...

just make blacklist block emotes?

If you're blacklisting someone I'm fairly certain you won't want to see them /cry ing or /sigh ing or /slap ing you anyway.

Well that makes one of us.

We need some funny pictures to post when the dev team comes back with insane shit like this.

[Wolfe]

Here's an idea, why not change the command to something MUCH shorter and easier?

/jobemote whm
To
/whm

We all know that it's a jobemote. Why not save us some time when typing?

[Ihnako]

Btw. why did it brother you if there is a chat line or not?
Depending on my last ingamedays nobody is using them anyway beside bored people.

If you could just do the motion without the text you can put it in your macros and such. I've seen ppl put dancing motions in their spell macros so it looks like they're dancing while casting spells, etc. We can't do that with the job emotes because you have to have the text along with the motion.

[Ihnako]

And? Then just don't do it. It's annoying anyway even if it's without any system message.
