The emote spam issue

[SpiritMuse]

Is it really that much of a problem if someone presses an emote a few times? I haven't seen anyone going too excessive with it:

You haven't, but I have. Not often, but it is very annoying when your friends' comments get shunted out of the chat box before you can even fully read them because someone is spamming the same emote over and over again. And yes I do have a chat tab with the emotes turned off and I do switch to it on occasion, but then of course I miss emotes my friends are doing. It's not ideal.

Emotes are one method of expression in this game, freedom of expression is pretty fundamental to most nations these days, and you're advocating a restriction on it?

Freedom of expression is about being arrested by the government for saying stuff. It has no bearing on this case, which is about wanting to stop people from being obnoxious in an online chat.

I'm also kinda sick and tired of these little bi*ch ass Lalafell spamming emotes all day long They are literally trying to sound it like s*x. Too bad i/we cant disable emotes for specific people Or even better: Remove them compeletly or make them invisible or something.

Won't blacklisting hide their emotes?

Go to your emotes tab, pick any emotes, keep hitting it as fast as you can for 5 mins straight, look at your chat log and tell me again that's "freedom of expression", it's literally no different from RMT bot spam.

Come on people, social rules aren't hard to follow, there's no need to go out of your way to inconvenience everyone else around you, this isn't a single player game, if you want to spam emotes turn the text off.

Guess we cant do anything about those attention beggars except muting the sound, biting our ears off or scratching our eyes out.

Its a total ridiculous that emote spam is violating the ToS. There are way worse things where SE doesn't give a s... about but for that or stepping to often into a character is a violation of ToS.
