Please add an emote spam filter.

Please reread my original post. I pointed out why this isn't a solution.

it literally is though? you can change tabs whenever you want. just have one tab with it on, and one with it off for when people spam it.

While I'm glad people are having fun, if I get 200 unrelated emote texts while I'm trying to talk to people, and our messages disappear in the log and we have to chase them down, well, that's not so fun, is it?

I know people spamming it is annoying but you have 4 chat tabs available. Just create filtered tabs and switch.

I have one for guilds, one for contact circles, one for RP and one general tab. (I don't need the ingame combat log)

The sad part about this is SE lets this happen, yet if they are reported to the GMs, they potentially get a suspension (it's happened). At least let us filter them on the client end so we don't see other people spamming this.

You can put emotes in their own separate chat tab.

What’s the difference between standard and custom emotes?

standard is things like /poke /wave /throw etc, while custom is what it says, custom emotes. usually folks who rp use them. /em walks towards you. etc

I mean... you can. The setting is there. It's just that for some reason the game never mentions about Log Filters existence during initial guide, so a lot of people (and this thread shows it) don't even know that they can decide what they will see in their chat logs.


As for animations - there's not much they can do except allowing to turn off players's sounds and animation effects, which is also already implemented.
