The emote spam issue

[Faliandra]

wow, really surprised over most people's reaction here.

OP is clearly talking about EXCESSIVE spam, not just a few emotes.

Why do *I* have to rework my chat or even turn off emotes completely,when I *only* want spammers to stop spamming when all it takes for the spammers to uncheck that emote text box?

If the BL was endless, I'd take the suggestion to BL everyone doing that up in a heartbeat. But as its limited, I'd rather save that method for more severe reasons.

As you mightve also read and realized by now, it IS reportable, so it IS considered rude to do so.

I'd also like to point out that I noticed, its quite common for many people to initially have 2-3 of their emotes show up, then turning off the emote text for anything to follow.
In fact, thats what all of my friends do(me too btw) and it goes without saying.


It's a thing called....uhh,you know.... COMMON COURTESY and COMMON SENSE.

You're making it sound like there's gonna be over 200 players near you, excessively spamming emotes, at any given time. The only place where that'll happen is during that one GATE in the Gold Saucer.

So you're complaining about someone not opening their emote list to uncheck a box, when it's just as easy to right-click a name and click add to blacklist. Unless you somehow managed to already get 200 of these 'severe cases' on the list, which I'd find surprising.

Because you're the one complaining about it, if you want it to stop there's easy ways to deal with it rather than mindlessly complaining as already detailed in the thread.
