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

[LiadansWhisper]

You're welcome.

Now hopefully the energy you folks have for making a difference and voicing a need for change can be redirected towards issues more detrimental to ff14's gameplay.

Some of those examples would be: CT's loot system / issues in pvp / problems with the commendation system / minor bugs-glitches discovered in the 2.1 content / amongst several others / etcetera.

No one is saying that voicing concerns over censorship, standing up for certain freedoms, or even venting about something you think is ridiculous (like what I'm doing) is a bad thing. However, this argument is akin to arguing that the "blow kiss" emote is provocative and should be removed. Some things are just not worth arguing about, this is one of those things. I admire the passion in this argument, but I would admire it more if it were to be redirected towards some of the aforementioned issues.

Thanks in advance

Maybe the people in this thread don't care about those issues? People are allowed to care about what matters to them...right? I mean, you don't actually think you are the arbiter of what people can and cannot care about, do you? o_O

If this thread is bugging you so much, I advise you not to read it. Rolling up in here and effectively saying, "You all need to shut up because you're not talking about what I think you should talk about" just makes you look, well, silly.

....snip....... just makes you look, well, silly.

Ya, I'm the one who looks silly here lol.


You seem to not understand that telling someone they might not want to read a thread revolving around "freedom of choice" makes you a living contradiction to your own cause. People have the right to want this emote, others have a right to say the cause is ridiculous. That's exactly how freedom works.

Again, I admire the passion, but deplore the cause. Energy wasted imo.

You've said it was ridiculous. Thank you for your input. Please move on to somewhere else and stop telling people to shut up in this thread.

Again, a living contradiction. Stop putting words in my mouth. It is ridiculous. I have rights. You're not the boss of me. I am free. Learn it, live it, love it.

Freedom of speech is one thing.

Posting for the sake of bashing people for having different preferences then yourself only make you look silly.

But by all means, have fun "wasting your energy" on something you clearly dont care about.

Will do.

Also, what is a discussion without an opposing point of view? I get it, if you're not in agreement, then it's bashing. Great logic.

This is a ridiculous argument and there is nothing wrong with saying that. As a matter of fact, say this out loud....

"I'm mad because I can't use the lay down emote. SE is treating us like children."

Now read what I've said.

Its not a discussion, its people that want SE to remove the limitation of said emote because their reasons for limiting it in the first place is wrong since what they are trying to prevent from happening already is with the existing emotes.

Your not discussing anything, you just said that this cause was ridiculous because according to YOU theres more important things to discuss.

And who said anything about beeing mad, people simply want a proper answer from SE that makes sense.

People simply want a proper answer from SE that makes sense.

Slightly out of context that I pull this statement out of the thread, and Devils_Lawyer, don't take it as a direct hit against you in particular... but I've seen multiple people say this exact statement both in the forums and verbally and I always chuckle.

Whatever the FFXIV team says in regards to particular things people are complaining about at the time, whether or not the explanation from the devs makes sense, if it's not what some people want to hear, they will still be angry in any case.

Personally, I don't believe there is a such thing as a "proper answer that makes sense" in the eyes of the devs and the players. It's likely why there are less answers than there are questions. People want what they want, no "answer" will suffice if it isn't "Ok, we'll do what you want".

[Devils_Lawyer]

cut!

Yes i get your point but lets take a look at the only explanation we have gotten so far.

Im not going to bother finding it and copying it but the general reason was.

"To prevent players from taking innapropriate screenshots"

This would probably have been a perfectly fine explanation to most people if not for the fact that its already beeing done with the emotes that we have.

So basicly what SE tries to prevent by limiting this one already exist and will continue to exist till the day this game dies or loses all its emotes.
