"Exploiting this" >..> How is this an "exploit" it's just a cosmetic glitch, it doesnt give them an advantage in any shape or form of the word. im just curious why this is such a big deal to people..

Glitches sent supposed to be in the game. And perform ing or repeating a glich is exploitation of the algorithm.

The persistent dance emotes when performed are designed so that you cannot perform other actions while performing the persistent emote. Thus by glitching it you gain an unfair advantage over the confines of the emote. This is the glitch. To perform a glich repeatedly when you should know better not to. Thus makes it an exploit.

Besides when your glitches like this it could possibly lead to other bugs that are currently unknown. Its better for it to be fixed now then to have serious issues later.

Taking Advantage of the confines of the Emote, that's a new one. Lawl. i love the official forums, such a good place to go for a quick laugh

This glich is starting to be gamebreakimg and ruins the immersion. People are no longer running around they look like statues on a converter belt. Its really bad. It looks terrible and quite frankly is very annoying.

Please fix this.

Nooo! Please don't take out Buttcart racing!!!

I've actually had friends who haven't played in months come back because if this glitch.

Edit: The real glitch is that you don't get to appreciate it yourself when you do it. So fix it so that it will show you 'gliched' on your own screen. ^_^

So I guess the /sit then unsheathe your weapon really quick so you can have a pretty glow behind you or while you're running/sitting or doing other emotes is an exploit too since everyone is doing it? >__> I bet you're just mad because you can't do it!

While I agree that it is exploitation to a degree. I highly doubt it is an issue in need of serious fix. Although, I am sure by now the developers have identified how to rectify this issue in a soon to be implemented hotfix update.

However, it is not gamebreaking. It doesn't affect gameplay by much of anything.

Did you know there are other glitches people have been taking advantage of way long before something like the sit emote one surfaced?

So with these already existent glitches, the game technically is broken by your analysis of what constitutes as gamebreaking. That may extend as far as you having been paying to play a broken game since however many months you have been subscribed.

I personally choose not to try and replicate a glitch since if while I am in that glitched state I could run into unforseen bugs that result due to the glitch which would be unfortunate.

I'm not trying to spoil fun. I am just reporting unintended algorithm behavior to the proper authorities.

Yea, ok.

If there was any "unforeseen bugs" because of this hilarious butt-karting people would've said on the forums already by now, strange how there's not a bug report for the weapon glow that's easy though eh?

The unforeseen bug is a brown streak across the moogle rug. And I just steam cleaned that yesterday!!

This isn't a joke you know.
This breaks the immersion level that those of us in the game like to have and seeing players move like statues on conveyer belts instead of running is just plain wrong.
Why can't you understand that I'm trying to report a bug. Glitches do not belong in games. I'll admit there are a lot. But this one is visually displeasing.
I'm not trying to be a spoil sport and ruin I the fun. I'm just taking time to do the right thing for the betterment of the game.

So sad that someone would report this :( it's massively entertaining!

There's really two sides to this:
1) Respectfully, most MMOs aren't really about immersion. Sure it's there to some degree, but most of it is going to be between fellow players and/or in a player's head.
I mean, when the Lightning or Dragon Quest cross overs happened it wasn't exactly immersive right? That and every single player is the "Hero of Light" (or whatever equivalent in various MMOs) You could probably lump Dragoon jump-noise-shiney-blasts as "immersion breakers" too.

However, 2) This is a bug, and there's no harm or foul in reporting as that's what this forum area is for. I don't think it will be fixed because honestly, having played FFXI, most cosmetic/un-game-breaking bugs simply get ignored by Squeenix.
(see Jump-of-Airship bug, or the "why is my upper half not moving while I run" bug)
Since this can not be game breaking, from a coding point of view, I highly doubt it will be fixed. (It's just a mistake in the animation loop, it has no effect on your ability to move or interact with the world)

" This is a bug, and there's no harm or foul in reporting as that's what this forum area is for."

Agreed, I don't get why all these people are attacking the original poster.

If you do the /sit and change your pose to sitting on your knees, any /emote you do will switch you back instantly to having your legs stretched out again, will do the wave, and then instantly switch back to you sitting on your knees. It's really weird, like they didnt test this at all.

Basicly you sit on your knees, wave with your legs stretched out, then sit on your knees again...

Does anyone tried that on the PvP?
Doing it as a Healer, the ppl will not know what are you casting (unless target you to see the casting bar?)

I HIGHLY support the OP. The fact that there are people insulting the OP because they actually appreciate quality and rich game play is quite absurd. If you like looking ridiculous there are plenty of games where such things can be accomplished.

I also would like this addressed as swiftly as possible.

Teleporting, changing maps, doing duty finder or PVP finder will "reset" your character and you will be "unglitched"

I personally find it very creepy and want it gone asap.

THANK YOU!
I'm glad that some people and players actually get where I am coming from and that I'm just trying to inform the correct people of an issue/bug. After that its up to them if they want to fix it (Pretty Please Fix It).

As to all the people who cannot understand this and decide to not keep those thoughts to them self's.... Well thats what forums tools are for.

Reporting a bug is one thing. People were just pointing out that it's not really an exploit because doesn't help anyone "cheat" through any content in any way. No one's insulting anyone lolol

Honestly, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. It doesn't hurt anybody. If you use the reasoning that it is unpleasant to look at and disrupts the immersion in the game, then you could say the same thing about so many other things in the game. Like oddly colored hair, or scantily dressed people, and such. I for one, think it's hilarious and adorable. But meh, to each his own.

Bye bye Butt Karting. At least we know where the cause happened. Prepare the farewell trumpets.

People are giving their opinion, but their opinion is irrelevant here, this is a bug report and nothing they say will change it.

Not all bugs have to be about cheating.

Yes, please fix this bug. Maybe something like an invisible wait syntax after using the /sit command would fix it. But in the meantime, I'm going into the game and exploiting the hell outta this. First order of business is to Harvest Dance tank CT.
