Emotes while running?

Just a thought as I was running passed someone today and did a /wave and thought wouldn't it be nice if SE added some emotes that can work while running like /wave, /cheer, /salute and so on.

Thoughts on this, yay or nay?

That would be cool. I'd also like to have more emotes available while you're sitting.

I don't consider it important but it'd definitely be a neat idea for different functioning emotes. Like doing /panic while running and your arms start flailing instead of pumping by your side like normal.

Yeah more sitting emotes would be great too.

Yeah exactly that would be pretty cool.

I also made a thread about auto emotes too HERE

Basically it goes:

Simple idea to help bring Eorzea more life

Just a simple idea really and it is auto emotes. I remember some people saying that in some games they have some kind of auto emote system so if you type lol in chat your character starts laughing automatically, if you typed ; ; then they would start crying and so on.

I think this would help bring a little bit of life to the game. If while people were chatting there characters moved their arms and stuff, like they were talking to someone, or if they were chatting in LS chat then they held a finger to there ear so it looked like they were talking into a Linkpearl things like that.

What do you guys think? Good idea or Bad Idea?

As always if you like it show your support if not flame on ^^

I've read that discussion of yours, I do slightly like the idea, but it's one of those things where it's a good idea if done in moderation. It would really depend on implementation I guess, and whether or not characters had any level of control over it, or whether it would actually be an "auto-emote" that just naturally happens. I'd personally like to see characters pace when they sit idle for too long, for example, but I wouldn't want characters to be able to type "lol" into chat to trigger it, cause y'know those people who add "lol" at the end of every text or IM? Yea, those people would annoy the shit out of me very quickly.

Yeah I think they would have to make them silent for auto emotes if they did them as I too would probably get annoyed with everyones characters going "hahahaaa".

Like the idea of them shuffling too when idle like the retainers in the market wards.

YES one million times. I remember setting up a macro on my Elvaan so that he was giving a pimp backhand instead of /slapping...
