emote spamming lala's

You should probably edit the names out of the picture, OP, as it might be seen as "naming and shaming" and could get you banned off the forums

good point, one moment

This is legit why I make my grand company Immortal Flames so I don't have to deal with the cesspit that is 'Limsa'.
And the one alt that does has Limsa has tickets to teleport to GC desk so I don't have to deal with that crowd.

Emote spamming is disgustingly obnoxious and irritating. It's alright to have a laugh and whatnot. But when you're doing it to just bother people, just no.

If someone reports you for spamming (and you actually did spam) you will get a warning. I have gotten a warning for spamming a silent emote in gridania with chat log off, they don't care. My friend spammed some emotes the otherday and got pulled into prison during raid and got a warning.

If they're giving you and your friend warnings, then they definitely do care.

I meant they don't care if it's silent and without chat log or full on voice/log spam :P

Honestly emote spamming -insert race here- is annoying.

You can't really follow the conversations you're having with you Ls or FC. It's not exclusive to Lalas.

I normally either leave or if i have the energy ask them to stop. If they don't I just report and move on. Life's too short to get hung up on annoying people.

Wow. Silent emote with no chat log is reportable too? That's just... I mean, I feel like "silly" is putting it nicely.

Only way I can see that even kind of sort of being reasonable is if you were like, spam slapping someone or following them around to emote in their face. Which... I mean that's it's own kinda weird. But. Yeah.

Seems a tad silly to get banned for when the solution is to just walk away or blacklist them. Though I rarely use blacklist so dunno if it stops the emotes too. However with this said, it would almost seem like you could get in trouble for playing the Bard instruments poorly or just cus someone "Finds it annoying"

There's a lot of things that bother me in FFXIV, but emote spamming isn't one of them. Do I find it annoying? A bit, yes - though it's easy enough to resolve. Aside from blacklisting the player I can also just mute the game itself or move elsewhere. I'd only report them if they proceed to follow me after I have moved. Most of the time, the emote spamming isn't directed at me though - it's just something happening between other players who seem to be having a bit of goofy fun.

I think it's a very unfortunate reflection of the mentality of many playing this game. If someone is doing something dumb in a dungeon or out in the game world I take the time to consider that they may just be having a 'silly moment' or having a bad day. I only report people if they're crossing some major boundaries and even then I don't see them dealt with nearly as harshly as those who are 'easy targets'.

Yet, to me, it seems as though quite a lot of players are a bit too easily offended by trivial matters and are all too eager to seek disproportionate vengeance just because they know they can exploit the rules to silence those they dislike, even if they don't have a full picture of what those individuals are actually like.

Some of the best people I have met in this game have been outwardly goofy and brash whilst the worst have appeared to be friendly and rule abiding on the surface. Just my two penny's worth.
