PETITION: Permanent expressions!

[MrKusakabe]

I fell in love with the Lalafell's /sneer since the first Krile encounters dissing Alphinaud.

This smugface is just too great and I would keep it longer than those 5 seconds.

I would like to have this for the expressions that make sense. EX "Smirk", "sneer" and not the previous for mentioned expression "ouch".

[Krotoan]

I'd want this. I WANT the creepy grin on my face when slaughtering hundreds of animals just because some NPC said I needed to. I was highly disappointed when I found out I had to make macros to add expressions when I used different skills instead of just doing the face and keeping it till I zoned or used another expression.

Perhaps it could be coded with a simple number in the text command?

/emote is still the default five seconds
/emote X holds the expression for X seconds
/emote 0 is permanent until overwritten

?

Or maybe, for easiness sake, a checkbox in the facial expression menu to keep it permanent...

I'd rather see this as an emote feature only. Really don't care to see 99% of the population with /sneer or /grin like Stepford house wives. Other mmo's have sliders to set the expression yourself, which would be a lot more versatile.

I don't get the fear that 99% of the population will pull stupid faces. Roe's can walk around in leapordskin speedos, players can glamour all their gear off and you can wear bunny outfits, chocobo and pig suits, but the actual percentage of the population doing this long term is maybe 1%.

For most of us silly things are a novelty that we play around with for 10 minutes then switch to something else. Being a catgirl with an "ouch" face would probably be looked down on.

Also to be fair, MMORPG's are role play for a lot of players, if your character is smug, cheerful, grim or so on by nature, I can't see the harm in that being part of your image. I notice a lot of the comments are people dictating what they want or don't want others to look like, rather than personal preference.

Precisely this! That's the same debacle of people not wanting the game to have more shared glamours between male and female characters (like Thavnair dress useable for men or the marriage tux for girls). It really puzzles me how people are bothered by others having the option to portray themselves more freely.

You'd hate Yoshi P too if all the pictures from his last world visits are indicative of what face his Lalafell would use.
