Add Emote Hiding at Options Menu --> A serious suggestion for a better experience.

Greetings Square Enix,

I would like to thank you about your efforts creating a better experience for us. Especially in these days were you try to sustain all the servers and give us the best outcome. I really respect your efforts
I would like to suggest one very serious (in my opinion) matter. We need an emote hiding option which removes the text from the chat. I am trying to communicate with my friends via chat bar and every now and then I see many players spamming emotes.Real and constant spamming. I understand and respect that is their way to play this game BUT it is not right for me each time to move to a different area which is not so crowhed so I can communicate with them. FFXIV has so many options to configure almost everything except that and it is very very strange that is not possible yet. No offence to anyone but chat bar is a very important tool to play the game and make the experience better.
PLEASE add an option where we can hide from the chat box all the emotes at will.
Thank you for reading my post, I am looking forward for your reply.

Wishes for a better New Year.

Hi, you can blacklist the emote spammers. Then their emotes will not appear anymore. :)


Cheers

Pretty sure you can already filter out emote text from your chatwindow in the chat log settings.

This I have a chat window made that filters out emote and say messages so I can stay in a major city without losing track of conversations.

Sorry but I have searched so much and I cannot find how to turn off them. Would you like please to show me?

Look at your chat window. See the gear at the bottom? It will say "Chat Log Settings". Click that.
Scroll down the "Log Filters" area.
Choose a tab that you would like to apply the filter to.
Click that tab, then scroll to the bottom. You will see an option square for "Standard Emotes" and "Custom Emotes".
"Standard Emotes" are the ones you are talking about. Please click to disable that (make the square become grey).
"Custom Emotes" is when people write emotes to each other (for example, /em pokes the very muscular femroe). Please click to disable that if that is your wish to not see that either (make the square become grey).

If you are someone who does not like to see emotes, this is what you should do.
If you are someone who likes to emote but you worry someone might yell at you, fear not. They have no right to yell at you, because they can simply turn it off. Their laziness is not your responsibility. However, if you wish to avoid the conversation altogether, you can open your Emotes window and deselect "Display Log Message" to turn your emoting off from showing in peoples chats to begin with. But understand that before anyone complains, it is important that they turn it off themselves too instead of popping their eyes out onto their screen over seeing something that they can easily remove themselves. You are all welcome.

Sure but I won't waste my sub to blacklist other players. it is time consuming. Having an option with just one click to turn off emotes in chat box is fast so effiecient.

You are the best!!!! You really made my day. I wish you all the best Batbrat!!! :D
