    /meh

    I just wanted to bring up this emote to the dev team. The /meh emote is somewhat of a miss translation and I feel should be re-named or the text and animation changed.

    When a player uses the /meh emote the character does a confused animation and the emote text is read "player, gives up confused" or something to that affect.

    In English, or at least american English, the phrase "meh" is a slang term usually meaning "I don't care" or even meaning something is not worth my time.

    I think if the wording and animation can not be changed for /meh then it needs to be re-named to /huh. Then it would be more accurate to it's animation.

    Thanks for reading my post

    When using it without a target, it says "[Player name] looks stumped," and when using it on another character, it's "[Player name] fails to understand [target]".

    I'd always thought the emote was off, but I hadn't really thought what it should be. /huh would make more sense than /meh.

    Ah, yeah that's the right wording for the emote. Thanks. I'm hoping to see more posts so we might be able to get the Dev team to notice. Everyone, please posting your thoughts.

    Yep, the name and the emote are a mismatch. I've noticed it, too.

    /huh was in ffxi too. I believe the text for that emote was the same as /meh in ffxiv. So yea I think its a mistake also. Should be /huh.
