/sigh emote?

Long time FFXI player and I really miss the /sigh emote. I'm surprised it's not in the game?

Instead we have the /slap emote. Really tells you how society has fallen

I type /sigh at least once every day I log in forgetting that it doesn't exist.

/sigh

Got to keep you Raging somehow!

I just use /huh instead.

I usually use /facepalm in situations where I'd use /sigh...but I still want /sigh...

/sigh

Right?! Why is /sigh not a thing?

I don't know about other races but /upset is a sigh for Lalafells. Could macro motion with an /em if you don't like the default emote text.

It's an exaggerated sigh for Viera and one of my favorite emotes.

For Miqo'te girls, /upset seems to me more like disgusted to the point of nausea. It makes me think they might have meant upset stomach.
/huh does what I would call a shrug.
/shrug is more like a sigh imo.

The problem with those is the text.

/upset - You look disgusted.
/huh - You look stumped.
/shrug - You shrug.
/facepalm - You bury your face in disbelief.

None of those are actually what I mean when I want to /sigh even though as a male Mi'quote the /upset one at least is close enough for the motion part of it.

I'm not saying they shouldn't add a /sigh emote. When it comes to emotes I say the more the merrier, as long as they are obtainable through in game means.

My point was that with emotes you often don't get the animation you might expect, and if they add a /sigh it might not be what you think, but might be useful as something else.

However you can create macros that use any animation with almost whatever text you want:

/shrug motion
/em sighs.
