I really don't see what the problem is to add a chat delay. It wouldn't obstruct the people that use them for true RP or for social movements in chat, but it would get rid of the flooding ones. We should not have to switch tabs when a delay is easily added (and used by many other MMO already) It is not like I am asking them to perform a miracle on RMT spammers (who populate my blacklist btw, because they aren't dealt with. Sadly blacklist has a maximum)
Why add another system in though when three systems are in place to deal with it blacklist,turn off emotes in a chat tab or actually move away. As for having a delay that is just daft if someone is roleplaying. i.e player 1 waves for hello, second player responds with wave and then tells a joke, player 1 now has two wait 4 more seconds to use laugh. Now I don't Rp and sometimes find them annoying but they do.

Now lets say a few players decide to be annoying and create macros using emotes to spam, even with the delay it will still look like mass spam if multiple people do it at the same time. So the problem is still not sorted.
