Dont Lock Emotes To Extremely Exensive Merchandise

And those people will flaunt it for status.

Yes, the way I flaunt my Chinese dress and Collector's edition mounts...except I don't flaunt them, I use them, sometimes, and sometimes not. Like everything else. Flaunting is very much in the eye of the beholder. A person wearing a $100,000 diamond ring is not flaunting it simply because you want it and can't have it. They're just wearing something that they have. The problem is not them flaunting the ring, it's more about the envy and jealousy you have in your heart over something that another person has.

P.S. I must also add that I feel that tug sometimes too for things I can't afford. I'm not sure how long it took me to learn this lesson, and it's not a perfect lesson since I can still feel that tug. but I know what it is, and I can put it into perspective.

And why should you care about that? It is not like people will lock you out of groups because you do not have the $100 emote.

how insecure do you have to be to be affected by this?

Yeah... I mean I'll agree with the ridiculousness of an emote hidden behind a $100 decoration. But.
"How dare people be able to afford a luxury item and flaunt it before my peasant eyes!"

...Really?

I have one, and there are bills to pay. Do you pay for gas, electricity, rent, and water? I can barely afford my subscription. Most Americans are struggling right now.

Yes I pay utility bills, cell phone, mortgage etc. I also give up things in life to save for things I want. Instead of buying whatever brand new cell phone comes out once a year I can save my $700 to spend on other luxuries tho. It's give and take if people want the statue badly enough they will find a way.

You aren't purchasing the emote remember it's an added bonus for purchasing a highly detailed statue.

Sigh, the emote is not just an 'added bonus'. You are paying for the statue and emote combined. SE wouldn't be offering the emote if they didn't think it would get more sales of the statue. If the emote is getting more sales of the statue then the extra people buying it are doing so FOR the emote. Thus that price is for the emote and statue together. The emote is not some free extra. The only way to get it is by paying over $100 for something. It is, therefore, a $100 emote regardless of whether the emote alone is what is being purchased.

I'm tired of seeing people trying to reason it away as being a freebie charity giveaway from SE. No. That emote requires you to spend over $100 to get it.

Telling people to save up for it or questioning how they can't afford it is also incredibly selfish. Not everyone is necessarily as wealthy as you. Your line of argument is effectively saying that rich people IRL should get nicer things in game... That's a very dangerous route to take for a subscription MMO.

More people should be questioning why SE thinks they can charge players over $100 for access to an emote. Unfortunately the responses to this thread make it rather clear why.
