SE Censoring Emote ability due to select few is not the answer.

[Mysteran]

Players will still find a way to do certain things but at the same time SE probably does not want to get raged on when people can do it with ease due to "convenient features". I can understand both sides but the rating on the game package should define the limits so that customers are prepared for what to expect when their youths play and others know what to expect as well.

Being able to use emotes pretty much anywhere in the game is standard in MMOs. I can't think of a single MMO I have played other than this one that limits what emotes you can use in what areas. What makes this game different from the others?

It is up to SE to decide whether or not they intend to censor their content, regardless of the overall trends in other mmorpg's of the same age rating. Its not that the emote can or cannot be used it is what it can be used for. Like I was saying, there is no real way to stop players from doing suggestive things in a game that allows control of a character and the ability to write text. The problem is that people can hold the developer responsible. I personally think its cool as long as the packaging and TOS defines what is allowed so that people know what they bought. I just totally understand why they might not want to allow certain content.

Edit: When a developer puts content in a game they have to deal with policing it too. It is kind of hard to define without being graphic but some mmo's go the route of allowing it, sequestering it to specific and properly marked areas that are age restricted and then police it to protect players from the abuse that the kind of content tends to attract. I realize one emote that can be taken too far is not the same as specific content designed for that use, my point is when it CAN be done it WILL be done and intended use or not, devs have to deal with the subsequent fallout.
