[Request] Please add a gagging emote to the game!

With so many wonderful emotes to choose from already, I figure it'd be pleasant to have the option to make our characters gag in response to some of the weird and strange sights that can be found across Eorzea and elsewhere within the game's setting.

I know that I'd like to use it shortly before or after fighting against Cuchulainn in Void Ark and similar grotesque monstrosities!

Or perhaps it would be more fitting to use it amidst all the hustle and bustle in Limsa Lominsa?

You know the only probable way for SE to give this to you is to go through some inordinate quest line that deals with maybe brushing some pet Morbol's teeth.

How about the ARR quest where you had to sniff the chocobo?

I read the title thinking that you were suggesting something else...

As a resident of Balmung I have concerns...

EorzeaHub.com

*gags and coughs intensely* Sorry, furball

This would give me enough reason to never visit balmung. I swear the reasons you come up with these days.

Only if it will look like Emet's disgusted face.

I'd use this emote to every terribly dressed player I'd find

Pretty sure anyone using it in that context would be from another server, as they usually are. So the feeling is mutual. But keep on memeing.

Or $12 on the mogshop.

Ugh lol!

I played SotA when it first came out for beta - and in a beginning area there was an NPC that was vomiting constantly (don't ask me why they thought that was a good thing to add) - so I vote NO! lol

It was gross ....

Furry disease is not to be trifled with!

We already have to deal with people abusing /slap during raids and shit, we don't need a /gag one, too.
Just a few weeks ago, we had this really hostile SCH (WHO HEARD OF A GRUMPY SCH? REALLY) being really aggressive towards the DNC overwriting eachother (we had 4 DNC on the team) right after the first fight, and it was like "yo, there's going to be some overwriting for the first fight while we adjust to each other." Then she had the balls to be patronising to the tank. Then she had the gall to bitch at her co-healer and tell them how to play their class as well when she wasn't really doing anything herself and the other SCH was doing most of the work. Then she proceeded slapping people in the final fight and throwing a tantrum.

That's like, the worst and most recent case of slapping during raids, but I've seen it a few times before, even coming from other parties. It makes it really unpleasant in the raid/dng itself when it does happen (though thankfully it's rare), and I can only imagine /gag doing the same thing. /Gag would probably be abused outside of instances, too, in an unpleasant manner.

So, no. I hope we don't get a /gag. People can already /emote gags at <t>. if they really want to, but I don't think SE needs to condone it themselves. It might be a cute idea in theory, but there are a lot of people who like to ruin things for the rest of us.

I don't think people should miss out on something just because a minority of players could abuse the function.

That wasn't my first impression, so I definitely had to read his post. I believe his intention is for our characters to express disgust. Gagging is not an expression, but a reaction. It can be one of many ways our character show they are repulsed by something. Pinching the nostrils, shielding the eyes, plugging the ears with finger tips, etc.

One of my personal favorites I would love to see is /tantrum: plugging the ears, closed eyes, blown up cheeks and stomping your feet as if to 'drown' out everything around you. I would love to use it by Limsa's Market Boards or after an S rank goes down.
