it wasnt the emote spam it was him stopping in the middle of a dungeon run to throw insults instead of dpsing a mobs they just would not help and would mock me because i didn't avoid a set of mobs. like being down a dps.
okay but what did they say exactly? all youve said is "they were being rude and snide" and we just have to accept that at face value. for all i know those "rude and snide remarks" were them telling you what rotation to use and asking you to keep threat on mobs.
post screen shots or quote what they specifically said.d
Not all of us feel that way who play lala as a main. If someone goes aaaah cute, must pet, then feel free lol, especially if it makes people smile and lifts their spirits, then you go right ahead and pet away![]()
Thats a really thin skin there.A few years ago, when I was first trying out the game, I zoned into Ul'Dah and went AFK a few moments whilst doing so. When I came back a lala was emote spamming that godsawful laugh at me. I moved away into the street to figure out what to do next in the game or where to go (I was new, didn't know what I was doing and so on), and the lala followed me, still emote laugh spamming me, and continued to do so, even when I moved further on up the street for a second time. I was flustered, didn't know what to do, but my husband advised reporting them, and for me to zone to X aetheryte, so that's what I did. A little less than an hour later, I had a GM contact me in game to check up and see if I was okay. They were very kind and understanding, and though I don't recall exactly what was said, I do remember being told that sort of behaviour was not condoned. I imagine, though I don't think they told me, the GM then went to find the offending popoto, and hopefully put it out of its misery for a short spell. Though I actually just unsubbed not long afterwards as it didn't give me the best impression of the game, amongst other things and despite the kindly intervention of the GM - though I admit that unsub was mostly because I hadn't finished up with GW2 at the time and FFXIV and I were not at a place where we could yet meet in the middle.
So... no, just because an emote is in-game, doesn't mean it's okay to use it to abuse someone else, or that a report for emote harassment will be ignored.
I meet few people like that some of them used different emotes, it was hilarious and i laugh at them back and made few friends like that, they are just making it for fun, probably they are drunk or high. Its part of mmorpg social interactions.

Wasn't talking about OP but about that post about reporring a laugh spamming Lalafell.Or learn manners and learn to be a nice human being for goodness sake.
It's really not that hard to be nice. If people wanna tank or think they can do better, then go do it.
Not sit around and be childish. OP did extra good by not talking and just vote kicked.
He also said they said some snide remarks as well.
We come here to play a game and have fun, not get bullied and harassed.
Didnt save screenshot they were saying " you have to be special kinda person" needs more rotations by player name" and some others comments. He kept stopping to type stuff like this.okay but what did they say exactly? all youve said is "they were being rude and snide" and we just have to accept that at face value. for all i know those "rude and snide remarks" were them telling you what rotation to use and asking you to keep threat on mobs.

Just wondering why it's funny or fun to follow people emote spamming. Please elaborate.Thats a really thin skin there.

So go on: explain to me why it's okay to follow someone around emoting at them (even though the GM response indicates it isn't). I mean, if someone's standing still and you emote and get no response, and then you follow them when they move on and keep doing it, why is that? Aren't you just wasting your time? Please help me understand. It's not like I want emotes removed from the game, they are fun! But just why is using them to go after others acceptable?
It is a known fact that there’s people who specifically use emotes just to harass people. They can be used as a weapon just like chat can. I had someone who spent two years harassing me. He HATED me for kicking him out of my previous FC for harassing the women in it (I was the leader). He got in trouble for verbally abusing me, so he started following me and spammed emotes at me. Would go out of his way to teleport where I did and hunt me down to do it. Shoot, I was doing maps with my fc and he hunted us down. Thank goddess for the aquapolis portal that got us out of there. At the time he wouldn’t get in trouble for spamming, so it was his best tool to try and bother me. I put up with it for two years, of which I hid in my personal plot and didn’t come out because I didn’t want to deal with it.
If that bothering me makes me have thin skin, fine, but he had the intent to use emotes as a form of harassment. The evil intent was there, 100%. Harassment is harassment no matter what tool they use to do it. I’m sure there’s people who abuse emotes to harass strangers for fun, because they think they won’t get in trouble for it.
I also remember back in ARR when DRGs had a certain skill that they could spam. Don’t remember what it was, I just know they jumped up and spun their spear into the ground, and it was really really loud. On my server, someone decided it was funny to make a macro that spammed that skill, and it went on all day every day in mor dhona. It was the most annoying sound, and it sucked having to go there for buying gear lol. I assume enough people reported them, because eventually they disappeared and mor dhona was FINALLY quiet again.
