QoL: Change the /me Emote

[Alukah]

Hmm,
An emote where you point at yourself is not really a random emote for /me

Considering it's not used that way almost everywhere else... Random for me.

It's also not really a ARR thing, the /me emote exist since 2010 ^^

Meant to say FFXIV not ARR.

/em is how it was used in FFXI also so its not a FFXIV thing or a random thing since others in this thread pointed out other places where it is /em

[TessaJalloh]

oh damn, yes please on the merging of /me and /em. So many times it happens.

I dub this topic's new title /me /myself and /emote

[Quesse]

Please don't do this. I've played FFXIV from the beginning and it would really mess me up >.>

Because everything XI does is perfect and this game should copy every little thing from XI. How about comparing the games where /me is used as our /em vs those were /me is something else?

This reminds me of that "casting lots" discussion.

(before I get flamed, I'm not totally against suggestions from XI, but I loathe that attitude of "It was like that in XI, so it has to be that way here".)

Just cause it was like that way in XI doesn't make it bad or wrong. Its how its always been for a FF mmo so its how us vets are used to it. Changing it now will help some while making it annoying for others.

All the games I've played have used /em for custom stuff, with /me either not existing or being a gesture of its own. No need to change what isn't broken.

You're all human, you can adapt to a small change

As someone who started with FFXI it wasn't that hard to start using /me for other things.
