The emote spam issue

[Evumeimei]

Like... how often does this even occur? I barely see emote chat spam anywhere I go. It's also easy enough to avoid it if it's bothering you (leave the area, turn of emote chat, etc...). I guess it also depends what you qualify as spam. Two friends using different emotes on each other, possibly many in a row, isn't necessarily spam so much as them having fun. Spam would be if they are using the same emote over and over and over again (and even then it could be fun to them and not to you). I agree that people should turn off the text messages for emotes if they plan to use a lot at once. But as long as the spam isn't cutting into chat I honestly don't care if people are spamming emotes. It's easy to ignore/tune-out. Much harder to ignore Holy and Ring of Thorns spammers.
