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'm honestly a bit dissapointed in reading this. Mostly for the reasons.
Because:
- The game is already rated for mature audiences
- Preventing people to have fun and fool around

I never expected a group of funny and entertaining developpers to suddenly pull the fun out of something. Because they're afraid that a small percentage of people might abuse it for funny screenshots. Give people fun stuff to do in their free time. Last thing you want to do is make people take the game even MORE seriously.

And the problem with this statement is exacly that, its a SCREENSHOT which is nothing else but a picture on someones computer.

It's the same company that removed several "an average lalafell day" videos and the animation glitch.

NO FUN ALLOWED

Really? If that's your reasoning you might as well take all the emote animations out of the game. Honestly, this is the dumbest thing you guys have said since "We made your butts flat in order to add more playable races."

uncomfortably sexualized

If it's uncomfortable you're doing it wrong.

Cant believe you people are surprised or care about that answer much. They changed mithra things in xi due to certain inappropriate behavior. I thought it was pretty obvious what kind of company square is by now. This answer doesnt surprise me in the least and I respect the decision made,

I'm so excited for the Roegadyn one to be disappointing like 99% of our emotes!

It's ok...sexiness comes at a cost.

you know its gonna be the usual "Face Plant" :/

I want curled up sucking my thumb, action!

How obvious is it, though? On one hand, they say ridiculous things like this. Then you go to Bloodshore and you see people running along the beach in skimpy swimsuits doing a FATE quest where they must escort a scantily clad "Cute Courtesan" to her client so they can have a bunch of implied sex.

Yoshida-san. This game is rated T for teen, or PEGI 16 depending on where you live. This may come as a surprise to you, but everyone who plays this game enjoys sex. Anyone who says they don't is either trolling or lying to themselves.

And if you're a parent playing this game with your prepubescent children and this bothers you, tough rocks. Those content rating systems exist for a reason. You knew what you were getting into.

Thats a pretty big generalization. You do know there is a sexual orientation that does not care for sex correct? Or that some people play games to kill stuff not look at hot 3d models all day. Or that sex marketing is usually a tactic games use to cover up for being terrible games . There are far too many different types of people to make the generalization that everyone loves sex.

And why should either of those groups of people care if other people want to take lewd screenshots of their characters?

Or that sex marketing is usually a tactic games use to cover up for being terrible games.

That's a pretty big generalization. Also, this has nothing to do with marketing.
