So we have the Misery debuff in Amdapor City and the Gubal Library, which can be cured by targeting the afflicted and using the /comfort emote. This was a really interesting and unique addition to the game, and I'd like to see more similar innovations in future.
Specifically, the Toad debuff seen in Antitower and Weeping City ought to be curable in the same way, only using the /blowkiss emote instead of /comfort.
Like if you agree!

Maybe it already does. Has anyone tested it? :P

I think Toad is supposed to be an intentionally crippling debuff with no way of curing it other than waiting for it to wear off. If it could be removed that easy, it'd remove any risks. Misery is removable probably because it can be spammed and it's not that crippling since it only lowers defense, along with trash mobs being weak anyway.

Reminds me of something that bugged me from the older games. What exactly is Maiden's Kiss?

But if you were to hold a maidens kiss, what does it LOOK like

More annoying for me personally, and upsets my inner OCD, is that it can sometime be dispelled and sometimes not. In Amdapor HM you can remove it by running into the correct circled on the second boss, and in WC it can be avoided on Forgall by not messing up to begin with. But in Antitower you just sit there toaded forever until your teammates decide to kill the two adds - made even more fun when paired in DF with an ice mage

I like this idea, another example could be to psych someone up for a weathered or fear like effect, or slap someone if they get charmed. So much potential.

It's certainly interesting. One problem I see though is that you'd either have emotes taking up space on your screen or have to type it out each time.

I did, but /blowkiss doesn't work. (^_^ )Quote:

All the other games just say that it cures Toad/Frog status. -

It would be fun if that worked, but I think it would unbalance a few things if it became curable that easily.
By the way, Misery can also be cured with /rally iirc.
