SE Censoring Emote ability due to select few is not the answer.

[PArcher]

Maybe they should just not implement the emote at all...I mean, that's one more option people aren't considering....

Really? I'd actually want to something what could be more inappropriate than Miqo'te doing /angry or /stretch with a male roegadyn doing /cheer or whatever by them.

[Sunarie]

I came back to my computer last night to find my Lalafel in between two male Mi'quotes who were both repeatedly spamming the "psych" emote in such as way as to thrust their hips into my poor little Lala's face. The people that would do whatever with the emotes, already do them.

I personally don't really care whether or not we can use the command outside of FC housing in and of itself, but I am getting sick of the "poor babies need to be babysat and sheltered" attitude SE seems to take with the community. This is kinda the same excuse they gave us with not allowing tells while in a DF group. Players may misuse it to harass other players. Not going to stop me from playing or anything, but also annoying.

1. You can't be sheltered in a video game.

It was rhetorical.

2. It doesn't go on as much as you think - You get the occasional people try to but considering Balmung I assume is the RP server, of course you'll see that type of behavior there more. I can go to any crowded spot on my server and not see even lalafells trying to air hump someone lol.

Yes, I am from Balmung, but it's not RPers I see doing it.
I'm also not just on Balmung. The most "interesting" screenshots I've seen (and incidents I've seen, actually) have been from other realms, not Balmung.

3. This emote would promote it much more for an obvious reason. It's not like people abusing /pose pictures because even SE knew it would be inappropriate if you even remember when they announced that emote.

I disagree, but you're entitled to your opinion. I mean, as others have pointed out, this goes on all over the place, with current emotes. Do you honestly think a sleep animation (specifically the Lala one shown) would somehow be more prone to "inappropriate behavior" than we already have with Miqo'te doing the /angry emote with Roe /cheering behind them?

Lastly, there's no reason to complain about this. Plenty of "ERP" themed MMOs out there if this is such a big deal lol.

I love how you assume this is about ERP. What about people injured in a fight? It's also, quite frankly, silly, when there is so much sexual innuendo, blatant sexual references, and hell, look at the pose animations for half the races!

Ya, that's basically my issue. We don't need a babysitter, for the love of god.

Glad others see this not as a "oh whoa is me" ERPer stuff but as SE actively babysitting and stopping normal folks from enjoying content that could easily be used for things OTHER than ERPing.

Yes it's a silly issue, yes its kinda redundant to talk about emotes getting blocked (unless you're a serious RPer who might enjoy a nap after a picnic or something). But its about everything getting blocked because SE feels there's a chance something bad will happen (Like tells in DF Groups or inappropriate behavior (which happens anyways))

[Tiraelina]

I made lots of silly use out of the /sleep emotes in other games. Rarely did they involve other players.



They might as well remove the ability to do emotes in close proximity if this is going to be an issue. An emote to lay down is the least of it.

[Lurkios]

If I choose to take a nap on Ifrit's tail I don't see how it's any of SE's business to stop me.

[Ri_ri]

After so many implications of rape and sexual harassment in their text, it's freaking hilarious that they're limiting this.

[Lunavi]

ERPers are not the problem. Alot of them actually look out for uncrowded places to do their humpyhumpy fun and I am pretty sure most of them would chose the FC house for their acts of love anyway. The problem is trolls/griefers who goes out of their way to be mean to other players. Thanks trolls It is because of you guys we can never have nice things.

[Almalexia]

But you think it's all just implied? Um...suuuure...

Every single thing you cited is suggestive, or implied, sexual content. There isn't explicit sex anywhere in the game. Except my inn room.
