Please add an emote spam filter.

It's useful for if you just wanna do an emote or two without also announcing it through chat.
You can do the emote motion only without having to go through a menu to toggle log message off, do the emote, and then toggle log messages back on.

I don't see how this is related? In general, yes, being able to do motion in text commands would be a neat idea.

However, the issue I'm bringing up isn't me having to open emote log, turn text off, emote, then turn text back on, which is what it sounds like you're trying to point out. The issue is people, random people you don't know, spamming emotes and choking out anything else that is being said or is happening.

These people aren't manually typing in /slap /slap /slap /slap into chat (or using the arrow keys to bring up what was previously typed in, if I truly need to point this out), they're using the emote buttons, possibly even have them on their hotbars specifically so they can spam their friends with it. But if you're in a normal area--and let's exclude cities, as there's lots going on in the cities--or even an instance like

or add the ability to blist in instances cause there are times where the same person will shoot off 10+ emotes before the entry gate even goes down.

pointed out, this becomes a major issue. This is why I'm asking for an active chat filter.
