Emote Suggestion: A Way To Express Thanks

[Windi]

Bowing in Japanese culture is considered among the highest respects and expected of you in many situations. So... I think it suffices.

The NA servers are not Japan. I feel like what would be appropriate for a "/thank" emote is more of a "light bow" with maybe a single hand motion.

If you want to get Japanese, though, then the /bow we have doesn't even come close to the thankful bow that's done over there.

This is what it should look like.

JUST. SAY. THANK YOU.

It's sad that people are so averse to socializing that they absolutely need an emote to replace the few things people actually say to each other in-game.

Edit: And besides, the bow we have in the game is meant to be more flourishing and exaggerated like the way bows were in ye olde times. Eorzea isn't Japan so it doesn't need to look like a Japanese bow. I'm glad Yoshi P realizes this.

... What the hell?
I never implied that I am averse to socializing nor that we "need" an emote to replace text-based interaction. On that subject, a vast majority of our communication is actually through body language, not through spoken words. You can still convey meaning through your actions in addition to what you say vocally.

Non-verbal communication IS a form of socialization. Beyond that, no one is obligated to communicate in a single manner.

Body language matters in the real world, not a video game. Just say thank you. We don't need an emote to do something that can be done with five keystrokes.

Except this is a game played by real people who use keystrokes to move their characters. Like, it's not as precise, but you actually CAN tell a person's mood through what they do with their characters. It's never going to be as crystal clear when interacting in the real world, but neither is text, so yes, it does matter.

It really doesn't.

LOL. Can you back up your claim, please?
