Emote Suggestion: A Way To Express Thanks

[DamianFatale]

It would be nice if we had an emote that said something like "player expresses his/her gratitude." This would be really great for trades, or the end of dungeons. How would the emote look? I'm not sure. However, there's a lot of body language that can be used in conjunction with expressions of gratitude.

Normally I just /bow and say Thank You. It seems to be that this emote would probably just end up being a variation on /bow or perhaps /joy. I'm not really sure what else you could do with it.

/bow

/wave

[DamianFatale]

I feel like bow is not enough.

/grovel then? Damn man, /bow is enough for anyone else...

Bowing in Japanese culture is considered among the highest respects and expected of you in many situations. So... I think it suffices.

The NA servers are not Japan. I feel like what would be appropriate for a "/thank" emote is more of a "light bow" with maybe a single hand motion.

If you want to get Japanese, though, then the /bow we have doesn't even come close to the thankful bow that's done over there.

This is what it should look like.

JUST. SAY. THANK YOU.

It's sad that people are so averse to socializing that they absolutely need an emote to replace the few things people actually say to each other in-game.

Edit: And besides, the bow we have in the game is meant to be more flourishing and exaggerated like the way bows were in ye olde times. Eorzea isn't Japan so it doesn't need to look like a Japanese bow. I'm glad Yoshi P realizes this.

... What the hell?
I never implied that I am averse to socializing nor that we "need" an emote to replace text-based interaction. On that subject, a vast majority of our communication is actually through body language, not through spoken words. You can still convey meaning through your actions in addition to what you say vocally.

Non-verbal communication IS a form of socialization. Beyond that, no one is obligated to communicate in a single manner.

What act did you or someone else commit that a bow, wave, or hug wouldn't be enough to thank someone over? I mean... there's always monetary gifts you can give.
