The one emote I've been aching for so I can /suicide and finally embrace the sweet death Hydaelyn denies me is behind a fiery wall of cash, nah.

I honestly (man I use this game a lot in comparisons) like Aion's system of bonus emotes just being incredibly expensive and out of the casual player's general in game budget. So it'd be like going to a vendor and paying 1.3m for an emote. Pricey, yes. But so is Jet Black Dye which honestly would get the same amount of usage for its in game worth.
