The emote spam issue

Well then you have blacklist for the player. Now if they are all doing it together then they may be roleplaying. But if you don't want to do either then move a few feet away :S Can also put the filter on battle and just click that tab when in the area.

Not the spam I'm talking about. It is to fast in a row. No RP uses that much emotes, that fast. Ye I could move a few feet away but in the time it takes me to get out of 'chatrange', often my chat with friends has already been flooded away. I really don't see what the problem is to add a chat delay. It wouldn't obstruct the people that use them for true RP or for social movements in chat, but it would get rid of the flooding ones. We should not have to switch tabs when a delay is easily added (and used by many other MMO already) It is not like I am asking them to perform a miracle on RMT spammers (who populate my blacklist btw, because they aren't dealt with. Sadly blacklist has a maximum)

This is actually reportable, same with people spamming ascii in chat.

Really? Now that I did NOT know. So you can even report people spamming those emotes as that?

If they're following you around pressing the same one 20 times in a row that's definitely reportable. The same goes for NSFW custom emotes and racist custom emotes.

Not following around no, I would have taken this directly to support email then, rather than a topic in general discussion (which they point out as the place to post feedback/suggestions). I should remember this. I'm completely fine with people emoting, just there are plenty of times you just stand still and chat to friends and they spam one after another. Consideration of your fellow players goes a long way.

When /happy motion doesn't gives me the desired attention, then I have no other option. Sorry for your chat but my emotes are more important.

I usually report them.

However, I usually send them a tell first kindly asking to turn off the emote texts.
But usually i get something along the lines of "lul cry moar plz,<insert random insult>"....so thats when I have a pretty good base to report them.
And I'll gladly do that....I mean,I asked nicely first.


I also do wanna receive normal emotes meant for me that I might miss otherwise, but emote-spamming is annoying af, and my Blacklist has a limit and I'd rather use it for people I SERIOUSLY wanna avoid for more severe reasons.



edit: small remark: i dont report for someone repeating 5-10 emotes in a row...more like when its 30+ withina few seconds.

Am I really the only one thinking this is insane?
