Suggestion: Remove "lying down emote restriction"

[Bluevann]

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?

No, I simply look away so I do not see them. Which is equal to what I'm asking in my post. Plus, you have to consider that IRL people are a lot more reserved and polite than they are on the internet. I have never found myself in a place where I have happened to see a couple do anything more than a kiss. If you did, I guess you live in a place different than my own. I'd appreciate if you did not assault me for what is my own personal preferences for decency. I'm not asking anyone to change what they do for me. Only for options to defend myself from what others do without hurting them. Unless you think me being unable to see you on my screen hurts you, because you want to be seen and are doing something that I repute offensive with the purpose to be seen and offend, because only someone like that would care if someone filtered them out.

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

And you. Yes, I do. For reasons that belong to my own, personal real life and childhood, I have grown to be asexual and have developed a rather high sensibility and repulsion towards anything sexual related. I do not engage in sexual intercourses, I do not watch it, I do not seek it. If I'm watching a movie and something of that sort happens, I change channel or look away. I'd appreciate if you took a moment to breathe and think that perhaps there are serious, and maybe tragic reasons behind a person sensitivity, before poking fun at it. Again, I did not ask for an option to stop people from doing what they do in the game. Only to help me not see it. It wouldn't hurt them would it?

In either case I appreciate both of you for taking the time to feedback my post.

Back on topic, I'd really like some alternative poses for /doze. I have characters of all races and genders, and some of them really do not look like what I want to give when I roleplay. Miqo'te female's doze comes to mind. Give us something that makes us look like we actually sleep, please! >_< I know I saw a miqo'te female NPC sleeping in bed in Forgotten Springs.

While we're at that could we also put a checkbox for "snap to seating" when you /sit close to a chair/bench/bed etc? Sometimes I want to sit on the floor next to one but nope.... my butt magnetically snaps to the seat.

I think they just don't want people to easily ERP in public; hince, it's limited to FC/personnal houses....because it just makes sense that way

I fail to see how you can't just ignore the action in the game, yet can ignore them in real world situations. I see hundreds of players every day when I log onto the game, and occasionally there are folks being silly with emotes and it's pretty darn easy to ignore them if I want to. It's not causing me any problems because it's a game. There's that neat little thing the ESRB puts on every MMORPG these days "Online Interaction Not Rated" because you can't restrict what players do unless it's actually harming the game itself, or those people are being abusive in their actions toward another player.

You have the option to simple ignore it, and barring that if it offends you so much, can choose to stop playing. Seriously. You want a toggle to make everyone not appear in an MMO? That's laughable. Truly.

I want to know how it is hurting you to see players doing the things you mentioned in your OP. Answer: It doesn't hurt you at all. It's a GAME. If you're taking silly actions in a game that seriously then I think you may have other problems that need attending. That or online gaming may not be for you, because those kinds of things can and do happen in any MMO that has emotes. Hell, people can type out explicit things if they want to already if they are serious about this ERP stuff.

It's also not as if you're going to see naked character models (close to it perhaps, but not fully naked), since that's not what this game is like. Players can already act out sexual things with already available emotes anyway if they want to.

I just don't get it. If you don't want to see it, then just ignore it. The same principle applies in real life as it does in an MMO in this case. ...I just don't understand what is so hard about ignoring players in a game. You can already use the blacklist if you are offended enough so that nothing a particular player does text-wise will show on your screen. But you're saying the virtual character doing something in the game offends you so much you just want to turn character models off?

I can't get behind that. It's a stupid idea in my opinion. You might as well be playing an mmo on your own private server as you seem to want to take the MM and RP out of MMORPG.

That way you can be nice and sheltered and have kittens farting rainbows with sparkly ponies flying all about in cotton candy clouds, because everythings perfect in your la-la-land.

People that want to ERP in public can still do so.. this doesn't limit or prevent/stop anything. There is the /emote command. You can emote whatever you want.

If your sensitive to sexual things or worried that ERP will cover the streets then know that we have had emotes that would allow such things since launch that are not restricted.

So really, what makes laying down more harmful then any other emote we have if people wanna "sex things up"?

So you saying they shouldn't add OP suggestion (which many here seem to support) because it would cause something that against your personal preference? Quote text was too long to include.

As someone who's ALSO from Balmung, I getcha bro. I toootally getcha bro. I've taken to yelling at obvious erpers.

However, since I'm not allowed to buy a house because they don't want my kind in there, I'd like to lay down anywhere.

I said that I wouldn't mind it long as there was a way to filter it off-screen for people who do not want to see it. That is all.

And what about people that dosnt like glamours.

Skillspam.

Fireworks.

Minions.

Are we going to have a toggle for everything in this game?

Besides i have yet to hear a single good argument as to why laying down needs to be restricted when other emotes can be used for sexual activities aswell.
