Rather then emotes, I'd just like to see the character creation system expanded as a whole.
More of every option (face, eye, tail, ears etc)
More detail (Au'Ra Horn seperate from face, highlander can have eyebrows, sliders for hips etc)
Cross tribe traits (Iris types, ear types, colours, can be used by both)

You only use emotes sometimes, you use your characters appearance 100% of the time.
