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

holy cow people are really fussy over an emote lol is it really that big of a deal that it warrants dev attention and a 12 page thread?

In its defence almost everything this game have to offer thus far has become a big deal one way or another.

Still its not the emote itself that is the big issue here, IMO its the fact that SE feels the need to babysit their players to keep them away from harmful things (using emotes to make porn i guess).

This. How many of the people in this thread would have actually used the emote? It feels like the majority is only balking because they are getting restricted, regardless of whether they would use it or not. (And yes, I understand that there are people who really do want to use the emote among the posters too).

Personally I don't really mind not being able to use it anywhere. I wasn't planning on sleeping on Ifrits tail anyway.

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.

That's the thing. Saying there are more important things to discuss is fact, not opinion. Normally I don't speak in absolutes like that, but the current existing problems are infinitely more important than this particular subject matter. There is no way to say that server issues, mechanics, and several other issues take a back seat to this.

I'll say again, I think it's great that young people have pent up energy and feel a need to stand for certain personal freedoms. The world needs more of that. But this?!?!?!?! Personally, I don't like people telling me what to do. But some people here are treating this like SE is trying to take away your right to bear arms.

So all the while that SE is worrying about whether emotes can be used inappropriately, over at Zenimax ESO will start with virtually double the amount of emotes that FF14 ARR currently has. I bet one thing Zenimax wasn't doing, and that was sitting around trying to see if there was any provocative possibilities with each emote they are adding to the game.

In all the years I've played MMO's I have not actually seen the shenanigans occur in-game that SE seems to be so concerned about. It seems to me the only losers here are the players because now every new conceptual emote will go through the same process of restriction or elimination, sad really, especially for the RP'ers out there.

Sounds like you'd be better off playing ESO, huh? Considering being paid to clearly advertise it

Indeed, the only ones who lose here are the players because of lack of content, lack of gear progression once you've hit that i90 mark and lack of incentive to go back more than once a day to help in previous content, or once a week if it's crystal tower.

....Oh you mean players lose because of an insignificant emote? Thought you meant something actually important.

Saying there are more important things to discuss is fact, not opinion.

1. You need to check your definitions for fact and opinion.

2. Posting in this thread stating that restricting the /doze emote was a bad idea does not exclude me or anyone else from posting in other threads about other issues. I'm a pretty vocal person, and I do speak up when I see something I'm unhappy about (as anyone can tell from my post history).

Back on topic: SE needs to stop smothering their playerbase and just give us their content without arbitrary restrictions. Let us use the darn /doze wherever we want.

Maybe my game is just special but I can still use /doze and it plays an animation. You're losing nothing.

Only in a very particular location that the majority of players do not have access to. It's absurd. I've never seen this in emote systems in other MMOs - and for good reason.

I'd SE would have said nothing and did nothing you all would have never known and would be happy....think about it.

Incorrect. I'd still be upset once I noticed it. I did make this thread after all.

And Imapoonu, thank you for not actually providing any counter to either of the two statements I made towards you.

I'm kind of tired of your type, always thinking that just because something is small and doesn't effect you that it couldn't possibly effect anyone else or be worth a look at.

Really? Get over yourself.

if people would put so much energy for their rl freedom instead of fighting for it in a game the world would be a better place.

have fun

Sure, lets not enjoy our game and alow SE to restrict us from every single little new thing they add, RESTRICTION THIS RESTRICTION THAT. I'm tired of all there restrictions, SE just let us play and enjoy the game without keeping us from content and I'm not talking about the emote, I'm talking about everything.

The funny part? People who make this a big deal are doing exactly the same as she's doing - "Why can't I use this style of /doze anywhere SE? It's a big deal, it's game breaking and quite frankly silly that I'm restricted from an animation."

Don't tell people who find this insignificant to get over themselves when they're not the ones making a big deal about it :\ I mean, look at how angry you got over a non-issue.
