    Complain about fixing glasses emote

    I don't know if I'm the only one will complain this, but this emote almost same with SCH/SMN's victory pose. That means (imo) the pose isn't unique anymore. What do you guys thought?

    I dont think arcanists should hold the monopoly over adjusting glasses.

    I'm sorry but no lol... when was this EVER unique for SCH/SMN? NPCs have been using this emote and various other emotes that are part of the SCH/SMN victory/battle emotes WAAAY before we ever got those emotes for our characters.

    If anything we're the ones stealing unique emotes from the NPCs... poor NPCs.

    I understand where you are coming from and I feel a little odd about it also D: but what also feels odd is adjusting glasses on my summoner's face that aren't there 90% of the time. I think opening the emote up to players who really do glamour glasses on themselves, regardless of their class/job, makes a little more sense in the long run. If anything maybe SE can look into a new emote for arcanist but it would be a pretty low priority thing I would think D:

    I wear glasses IRL and have for most of my life. When I'm not wearing them, I still occasionally touch the bridge of my nose to adjust glasses that aren't there. It just becomes a reflex action if you're used to normally wearing them. I just figure that's what's happening with the emote if your character doesn't have glasses on at the time. Arcanists (of any specialty) are assumed to spend enough of their time wearing reading glasses that it's become a habit.

    It was not really Hildybrand who copycat it, he is a Highlander after all.

    Whilst you are correct the issue in that case was actually very similar to what the OP is describing here.

    Hildibrand's trademark pose (which was actually just the Highlander /pose with a small added detail) ended up being given as a quest reward to all races, but meant that the Highlander race no longer had a unique racial /pose emote.

    Now the main flourish of the SMN/SCH /bstance emote is being given to all players as well. It doesn't personally bother me but the scenario is very similar, and the the Highlander situation did actually get addressed by SE eventually so I imagine they may here as well.

    Personally the combat stance emotes always bugged me as a SMN since they were so obviously intended for SCH specifically. SMNs don't write text in their grimoires the way SCHs do; they draw various arcane geometries. They also don't have glasses built into their AF sets so the /glasses component is really out of place for the job. I would be more than happy to see the SMN combat stance emotes changed regardless to be honest.

    The bit of the adjusting glasses int he /bstance for smn/sch is only a tiny portion of the /bstance emote itself, unlike the highlander/hildy emotes.
