Anyone else wish /converse was a persistent emote?

Among all the housing complaints, I couldn't find anyone talking... at least not more than for a few seconds because of how short this emote is!

It'd like it to just cycle and continue, let me blabber on and on to my hearts content.

I was extremely lucky to immediately get into the game.... the new expressions and emotes were the first thing I tried and while I was expecting this exact emote and hoping for an endless cycle, I kind of expected it to be this way nonetheless, but I have hope that a persistent one will be made available! I'm glad they made sure your lips actually move for it too ~

+1 for persistent emote

Is there a thread or resource on where/how to obtain most of these new emotes? The only ones I saw confirmed were the Grand Company prices for those two emotes they have.

Hijacking this for a semi-related question:

Is there a way to see when people are typing? I find it a bit, hrm, not sure what the feeling is but it's an odd one, when I'm talking to someone and I'm unsure if they're typing up a semi-long response or if they've ended the conversation without moving away. I know once you hit enter, your character's lips do move but really I only notice that if I'm zoomed into them (which I'm often not; just on default distance).

Nope. There is no way to know if anyone is actively typing anything here. So you just have to wait on the reply.

On topic:

I kinda expected it to not be a looping emote since even in CS's it doesn't last long, but I would be pleased if it was changed into a persistent one. NPC'S can do it, they get all the cool stuff xD

NPC's have all the great emotes.

Conversing, Sitting on the ground are in your emote list by default (Not sure what else was added I just quickly went through.)
Boxing was MSQ

I used to have a macro to make expressions as persistent as I could. Something like 14 lines of:

/macronicon smile emote
/emote smile motion<wait.5>
/emote smile motion<wait.5>
...
/emote smile motion<wait.5>

I guess you can do the same with /converse

I noticed /zantetsuken is under persistent, but it's not a persistent emote.
What's up with this?
