/meh

I just wanted to bring up this emote to the dev team. The /meh emote is somewhat of a miss translation and I feel should be re-named or the text and animation changed.

When a player uses the /meh emote the character does a confused animation and the emote text is read "player, gives up confused" or something to that affect.

In English, or at least american English, the phrase "meh" is a slang term usually meaning "I don't care" or even meaning something is not worth my time.

I think if the wording and animation can not be changed for /meh then it needs to be re-named to /huh. Then it would be more accurate to it's animation.

Thanks for reading my post

When using it without a target, it says "[Player name] looks stumped," and when using it on another character, it's "[Player name] fails to understand [target]".

I'd always thought the emote was off, but I hadn't really thought what it should be. /huh would make more sense than /meh.

Ah, yeah that's the right wording for the emote. Thanks. I'm hoping to see more posts so we might be able to get the Dev team to notice. Everyone, please posting your thoughts.

Yep, the name and the emote are a mismatch. I've noticed it, too.

Only if I can do it to to the producer's face.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's stumped when I use /meh. ;) (See what I did thar?)

Agreed and liked. ^^

Gonna do a bump on this. Thanks for all the feedback everyone. We still need more posts to get the Dev. team to notice.

/huh was in ffxi too. I believe the text for that emote was the same as /meh in ffxiv. So yea I think its a mistake also. Should be /huh.

Needs MOAR posts! Dev. team Y U NO see my post! bump! ^_^

You got my support. If I had 10 gil for every time I've typed /huh. Even the vocals say "huh". Hope they can change this, chalk it up as a spelling error. They've fixed things like this before, not only in FF11, but even for FF14.

Fully supported. It's annoying because /huh is not in the emotes and then realize it's /meh instead, which didn't seem to make much sense to me since /meh should be more "I don't care" or what have you.
