Was I in the wrong?

[Schan]

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.

Ring of Thorns. Also known as the pole dance. Kinda miss that skill but yeah... that skill and Dark Knight's Unleash are annoying when spammed non-stop.

Because its a game, and someone is trying to get attention or reaction from you? Thats all what is about.
Someone laughing at stranger does not have a reason to laugh at him, but he does that to see someone else reaction at unordinary thing. It was different in the OP situation since he was doing a duty and someone was trolling him in it, but spaming emotes in the city is just a child play.
A lot of people playing this game do not take it seriously, especially minors who are trolling people around with emotes. Stop being so grumpy about it, thats sad.

There is using an emote a couple of times then there's literally chasing you everywhere and spamming emotes 100+ times. Random person laughing at me? sure thing. you do you buddy.
Person literally following me around spamming emotes for the next 30 minutes? Not cool.

Wether you like it or not emotes can be used as a tool for harassment.

Interestingly enough Lalas and Catgirls are the worst offenders of this second type of spam(especially if they have that voice). There is a stereotype for a reason.
