Suggestion: Remove "lying down emote restriction"

[Devils_Lawyer]

I don't think ERP has anything to do with it. (As mentioned, too many other opportunities.) I thought the original intent had to do with preventing people from feigning being KO'd, or to prevent healers from getting confused and trying to Raise someone who's just taking a nap in the sun.

(I still think it should be allowed, though. Lying down isn't the only indication when someone's KO.)

Sounds like a odd reason since no race afaik looks like they are dead when in said state + when your dead your name is gray instead of light blue.

EDIT: hrm sry i missread a word there, the actual reason according to a dev response was

"to avoid people taking innapropriate screenshots"

really ? i thought peoble in the game are waring underware , unless there is a shape that is really in that place .

Even though you can find even worse sexual innuendos and ERP type things already without the /doze emote from beds only (as far lying down.) we already got an answer a while back when the emote was first going to be introduced.

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.

Personally I'm against their outlook and decision on the matter, I mean the new /sit /cpose emote... have you seen the things people do with that? Also... the bottles of Realm Reborn Red... go check on over at the "Show your Roe" thread, and be quite surprised around some of the last few pages.

Yep and i hate to be the angry old guy but that response was one of the lamest excuses ive heard, it has no merit whatsoever because theres no guarantee that people will use the emote in a bad way but there HAS been proof of people doing so with other emotes yet this particular one somehow made the ERP and Sex alarms shout for all their worth.

EDIT: dont get me wrong, if the dev would make a post right here with a justifiable reason for this one particular emote to be limited id be satisfied and id never mention it ever again.

But until that time i cannot and will not accept their course of action.

Naughty naughty lurker That was just a lolbored moment but, I will agree that there's plenty of opportunities to do suggestive emoting, if one should chose so. As I often do cause.... well, it's fun being silly in a non-ERP way with such emotes and see people flip out. I'm evil like that .___. Then gain, people tend to flip out about much less anyway....

[Riepah]

Yes please.

Imagine people lying down on Ul'dah streets. The place will look like some third world country.

but yeah, I support the idea to lift the restriction.

I cant belive how rude some of you have been to Bluevann.
How is it extremely unreasonable?

Answer me honestly, does the ability to turn off seeing it affect *you*(the people doing it) in anyway that would make it "unreasonable"?

Or would you rather force him, and others, to see things that could affect them mentally/emotionally in real life?

I dont understand Blue exactly but I have a friend who is similar in the way of looking away IRL or changing the channel and so on(i know her reason and if blue is even close to similar then I feel bad for him) They don't do that because they are immature, they do it for personal reasons that caused pain in their life.


Anyways. I understand where SE came from with not allowing it. Though I would say they could add a fix that ssay.. "when you blacklist someone, their character and any action performed by their characters would be invisible. Includes emots skills and chat

[Feyniphia]

Personally I don't care, but it's not really reasonable for SE to make a feature for them just for that emote... People can already do emulate sexual activities through other emotes... make an option to turn it off too? Like I said earlier, ignore/don't watch it if you don't like it.

Now that said, I do support the idea of laying on the beach chairs. Or laying on your fc couch. Or hell, laying on the floor in your own fc.
