It just is a bit funny to me if this emote indeed was taken away due to the likes of erpers or some such, yet ive seen people poke fun at WoW for it recently taking away or changing some emotes as well. I also vaguely recall yoshi p mentioning somewhat recently people had asked for the slow clap emote Valens uses in the weapons questline however the devs decided not to implement it as it could be used in a harsh way...
