SE should never have implement squat emote

I can't tell if this is satire or not...

I'm beginning to like you !

So your opponents performing deadly acts of violence upon your character isn't a trigger, but them performing that motion is?

[AlphaFox]

Honestly, Id say let them. The more "taunting" they do is less time they are actually helping their team secure a location or kill others.

Getting this fired up over an emote is as immature as actually doing said emote imo.

Sometimes you need to stop clutching your pearls and laugh at things, it will make your life a whole lot easier.

I'm not even sure when people have the time to do that, it seems like an easy way to get killed in PvP

[Darkplanet]

If it's your first death and maybe for 5 sec it's easy to take, my corpse was there for 25 sec and he's just there the whole time...it hurts...

I don’t think they’ll remove the emote, which like others are saying players will just find a new way to do it. I’m sry someone did that, it’s a thing in online gaming pvp that has always been rude stupid, immature and just gross.

Also just maybe this will make you feel better, if a player who is living stands in one place for 25 seconds doing an emote, basically they fail at pvp lol, they aren’t doing their team a favor. You should always be moving and completing objectives. Unlike in other pvp games in ff14 all input stops when you win a match, this is probably to prevent stuff like loser shaming happening.

"My character is already dead, therefore I cannot be t-bagged, characters who squat on my face do not affect me."

Report them and move on. The emote isn't the issue, just like chat in The Feast wasn't an issue. Taking things away isn't going to prevent a player with bad behavior from finding another means to harass with.

Except in this case it's not "harassment," again disrespecting your opponent has always been a component of competitive modes. It's a tactic used to throw ppl off their game.

Harassment would be if one player continued to send /tells or something after the match to trash talk with no provocation from the receiving party. This could go either way too. The player that performed the disrespectful action then continued to send the player they killed tells or even tracked them down to continue spamming emotes at them in the same area, then that would qualify as harassment. However, if the player that was killed in the match were to send tells to the player that killed them about what a "mean" person they were, etc. Well then they would be harassing that player.
