Easy Doze It dev blog

They may as well eliminate the entire emote system if they're that terrified of a few "inappropriate" screenshots. Their reasoning absurd.

It's more along the lines of it just being too easy to make such inappropriate motions/actions. There's a reason why certain age-ratings must be respected. Being dressed in a swimsuit or whatever is very different, by contrast, as that is the decision of the individual. If that were offensive to someone, I'm willing to bet that going to the beach is the same as going to a strip club... despite how close it might be sometimes.

I have to chime in as well and say that is one of the most ridiculous reasons I have ever heard of for not implementing something. Players can literally take inappropriate screenshots by just being able to move their character around. I don't RP in this game, but it must be awkward for people to know there is this great feature but in order to utilize it they'd have to just RP around their FC members, which many people aren't comfortable with. In order to eliminate inappropriate screenshots entirely you would have to take down the servers again. Forever.



But seriously, this is a really, really bad reason for it.

To be fair Hvinire didn't exactly specify what kind of inappropriate the dev team meant, nice waffling there!

I have to stop and catch my breath every time I see this gif

"Teehee, look how sexy and fetishized I am whilst I daydream about probably inappropriate things my user wants to do with me!"

Problem? =D

I'm pretty sure lying down would also be the "decision of the individual". And I'm quite certain a certain FC member of mine is making a conscious decision when she spams the female miqo'te /stretch emote next to other characters to pretend to bury her face in the bosoms.

Oh and this. Yeah.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to argue here.

Very disappointed at that miqo'te emote. Now male miqo'tes are just going to use /sit over them to give an impression of sex.

As a miqo'te I'm depressed to always get the dirty side of things.

I'm going to go ahead and voice my concern with this as well. I really don't care about FC housing, it's one of the least interesting things on the horizon for me. Personal housing is exciting, but I could absolutely not care less about a virtual domicile with my FC, and so only allowing the use of an emote I was really looking forward to in a place I don't want to be is more upsetting than I anticipated, especially given the reasoning. You can't control what people will do, and people will always try to find a way to make 'inappropriate' screenshots and videos. Even more so, if I can /sit on the bed in the inn, why in the world can I not /doze on it? That makes absolutely no sense. I can understand not applying it to beds in the world even if I'm not happy with it, but please reconsider the Inn bed at the very least.

Edit: And to add that I agree with the OP. I really want to love this game, I want to play it for years to come, but this is one more item on an ever-growing list of little things that are really stopping me from enjoying the game as much as I feel I should. I'm not quitting because of any of them, but it's frustrating nonetheless.

We're glad you guys are excited for the new emote to use in Free Company Housing beds, and understand many of you want to use it elsewhere as well. However, the team has decided against the use of this emote in other places to prevent the taking of not especially appropriate screenshots. Likewise, the new emote cannot be used on Inn beds because lying down on that bed logs a player out of the game.

I have to say I agree with this stance. World of Warcraft is especially bad with that sort of stuff and they don't got housing. So limiting these types of emotes to housing, is a great idea. It keeps the game world itself PG.

This game isn't a PG game.

You've got to be kidding me... This is the most absurd reason I've read in a while, like limiting emote locations will stop inappropriate screenshots! Seriously Devs, the internet is already crammed with those screenshots (ask google and tumblr) and they didn't have anyone lying in a bed, or on the grass, or wherever... so that horse was already shot in the head long ago...
