Do something about emote spamming? Are you serious?

Emotes are one method of expression in this game, freedom of expression is pretty fundamental to most nations these days, and you're advocating a restriction on it?

Considering that emotes are a way to communicate and interact, I have to ask exactly how do you define emote spamming, and who get's to decide when someone is spamming emotes? There's no way this will end well.

I'm with Kosmos here, anyone who feels emotes should be limited or removed is just someone who clearly doesn't wanna take the time to set the option off so they feel everyone should stop because THEY don't like it.. People seriously need to grow up instead of limiting stuff for others..

In no sane universe is this

a necessary nor meaningful example of communication beyond "I need all the attention and I don't care who I annoy while seeking it."

The chat system should just be smart enough to suppress multiple emote lines automatically if generated after a certain threshold. There's no legitimate use for it, even when role-playing. This wouldn't suppress the animations, just the chat message. You shouldn't need to turn it off for everyone just to deal with obnoxious players.

Is this a server/community specific issue? It's never happened to me, and if it did I feel that the in-game tools would give me everything I need to deal with it. I don't tend to idle and chat in the middle of groups of people though.

Since I play zoomed out and my character is tall I would never notice emotes if the majority of people didn't activate the log text. If these people are being annoying on purpose then they would just switch the option on again anyway...

Wow so people will complain at just about anything... it's sad really.

Why not just put the emote spammer on your blacklist? That's what it's there for.

That literally looks like how it is on Shiva but with like .. 10-15 People at once during Peak Times when they RP.
Though, to this Day nobody got Offended as we simply don't care or People turned the "Emote Notifications" off.

If it bothers someone, just edit the Chat Settings, not really that hard^^
