It is not a form of negative expression. It is the very deterioration of communication itself. I'm afraid that you are confusing FFXIV with a Text message service.
    Ok, and what is the difference between facepalm and slap emote? If you ask something or go afk and someone slaps you, it is not a form of negative expression?
    Sorry, but if you are troll, these 3 posts are the only fodder you are going to get from me as I am on my way to bed.

    I posted my suggestion and let the positive and negative replies be the feedback for devs.

    This post is not only for you but for all who are reading. Do not contribute to devolution of what makes us as humans so unique. Monkeys can throw poo at each other to convey emotions. Should we as well? The foundation of our communication lies on our abilities to string words together into a concept. Slapping someone has been a concept we understood since the dawn of human consciousness. It is a wonderful of emotion that can convey anger, fear, even happiness (Omg, you're alive! *Slap* Don't EVER do that again!) However, face palming was bred on the internet to shorthand the concept of frustration itself.

    There is nothing wrong with a facepalm. The Naked Gun is a perfect example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjLgekyOZA0
