/bread and /read emote

[CassandraJean]

yes! yes please!!
I love both the new /read and /bread emotes and they look perfectly like they ought to loop and be persistent but instead they just stop.
They would both be lovely idle animations. Please consider changing them to looping emotes! They would be the first persistent emotes that work sitting down too which would be amazing.
(also, /tomestone would be great for a looping emote too)

+1 loop animation for both

[Kyu-Momo]

Agreed. I wish they would loop it continuously.

I got the bread emote today. Not only is it disappointing that it doesn't loop, it also stops very abruptly : /

I did try what someone suggested by making a macro that is /wait 14 for the /read emote and while it does work.... there's no way really to cancel it when you move out after using the macro. So you'll randomly pull the book out at another 14 second interval just because. I honestly see no reason this shouldn't just be regularly looped.

The /read emote is very...disappointing? Besides the lack of looping, there's no page turn, no nothing. It looks more like you're a priest reading scriptures than actually reading.

it does say you "read a verse" on the emote LOL. Idk, I won't be that picky about it since we just finally got a read emote after all this time... but looping is a must. Personally I like the little "oh my" movement my character does during the emote like they found something spicy.

So pretty much is 14 lines of /bread <wait.11> for seamless and by ending it with whatever way you can repeat it :/
So there is no way to forward it to next macro?

[Hazama999]

I'm grateful for the emote. That said... add my bit of disappointment to the "why is this not looped?" pile.

As mentioned above, this isn't the only emote that could benefit from looping... and hell, I'd like to know the reason some aren't looped.
/scheme and /sweat go on forever but the basic conversation (think it might be /converse) emote doesn't?

...Why?

Nope. It stops there and it's also nonstop in that one macro so you'll repeat it even when you wanted to stop.

I agree and disagree with converse. While I would like it to be looped, I know we see it occasionally from dialogue NPC's give us and it's just a one time thing. I would like to think this gives them the excuse to give us the emotes for things that are constant like the merchant shop seller pitching emote you can see some NPC's doing at their ships like in the Azim Steppe. Or some more constant conversation emotes you see NPC's doing. Then again, if you just /scheme then /smile, this works just as well. But yeah, /bread and /read should definitely be looped seeing as they're already looped twice to begin with. No reason to abruptly stop them when they clearly continue and can continue flawlessly.
