    I do not support this.

    Why, you ask? Because it's a shallow form of expression crafted for people who can't convey their frustrations in any other way besides performing stock emotions. It is on my list of pet peeves along with people saying "Really... REALLY?" and "Lol, wut". Please find other ways to express your emotions. Humanity has been blessed with faces that can contort to many different abstractions. Consider typing that your ears have shriveled to the point of atrophy upon hearing such complete nonsense. Or maybe your eyes have rolled to the back of your head so far from reading the ignorance that the exposed rods and cones became bleached by natural sunlight and has rendered you permanently blind.

    The point is, get an identity.

    I can. On other hand, my character has a limited number of options and I asked for one more. Please, don´t confuse FFXIV up with real life.

    FFXIV or real life. Communication skills are essential. And I mean the ability to convey the positives and negatives. The last thing I want to see when I'm playing FFXIV is someone /facepalm-ing me if I need to quickly brb before a boss or /facepalm-ing me if I ask a question about a mechanic. It is not a form of negative expression. It is the very deterioration of communication itself. I'm afraid that you are confusing FFXIV with a Text message service.

    Ok, and what is the difference between facepalm and slap emote? If you ask something or go afk and someone slaps you, it is not a form of negative expression?
    Sorry, but if you are troll, these 3 posts are the only fodder you are going to get from me as I am on my way to bed.

    I posted my suggestion and let the positive and negative replies be the feedback for devs.

    This post is not only for you but for all who are reading. Do not contribute to devolution of what makes us as humans so unique. Monkeys can throw poo at each other to convey emotions. Should we as well? The foundation of our communication lies on our abilities to string words together into a concept. Slapping someone has been a concept we understood since the dawn of human consciousness. It is a wonderful of emotion that can convey anger, fear, even happiness (Omg, you're alive! *Slap* Don't EVER do that again!) However, face palming was bred on the internet to shorthand the concept of frustration itself.

    BE EXPRESSIVE

    There is nothing wrong with a facepalm. The Naked Gun is a perfect example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjLgekyOZA0
