Suggestion: Remove "lying down emote restriction"

[Devils_Lawyer]

So its been over a year since the emote where our characters lie down (which is limited to House beds only) came and im not going to bother explaining why it was restricted in the first place.

All i want is to ask SE to please overlook their decision and add a /lie down or /relax emote to allow this animation to be used anywhere in the open world.

That is all, Thank you.

I'm all for this. Kinda silly it's restricted to just beds. I mean obviously you can't*** do something like this in a chair, but anywhere else it should function just fine.

Edit:typo

I'd love this as you can see NPCs in Wineport and such totally just lounging about free as birds and relaxed as ever.

Remove the restriction so we can all cuddle relax in the cities!

Laying on the beach would been nice to be able to do.

And only certain beds at that. We can't lie down on our bed in the inn except when we log out. We can't lie down in the various beds that are found in other buildings around Eorzea (at least none of the ones I've tried). It seems to be only the housing bed that allows /doze to work. It'd be nice to have it work anywhere.

Was there some tomfoolery going on? Pre-pubescent fondling of the virtual sort? Oh heavens.

I'd rather not. Last thing I want to see is Miqo'te females laying on the floor with miqo'te males /sitting behind them to imitate sexual intercourses (beds preventing that by forcing people to sit on the edges, and even if they didn't, I don't mind people doing that stuff inside their homes. But beds out in the open world or worse yet, everywhere? No thanks). People have already enough ways to offend my personal sensibility as it is in this game. I'll vote yes to the OP's idea only if it comes with the option to cancel other people's characters from my screen completely.

You must have a VERY hard time getting by in real life, if pixel catpeople are tearing at your psyche already.

Bluevann has reason, but I'd appreciate it a lot if SE could at least let us lie down on sofa in houses, especially for people who love taking a nap on sofa after reading/working or those who prefer a sofa bed to a normal bed...

So if you perchance were to see two young people (or people in general) irl making out or being intimate in public are you going to march right up to them and demand they stop? I mean, you're free to do that and all, but if they want to do that you aren't going to be the one to stop them from continuing.

Most people would just ignore it if they didn't want to see it, by looking somewhere else or not paying attention to it.

You aren't going to stop people from doing silly things in the game either just because you don't like it. I'm sure some juvenile people will go crazy with it at first and do exactly what you said, but after a while they're just going to get bored of it and stop doing it as much or altogether since it serves no purpose to them, except maybe to tick people like you off. In which case, people like you would merely be fanning the flames of the fire instead of ignoring it and letting it burn out on it's own.

Meanwhile everybody else will use it likely as it's intended, to place you character in a laying down position for a number of reasons. (Idling/afking, taking screenshots, and role-playing)
