Omega Emote is Tasteless

[Doozer]

For many luxury does not equate nessesaity.

You're right, it doesn't. "Luxury" is usually equated with something that's enjoyable, but not required. You contradict yourself with that statement. I do need a different controller to be able to play comfortably. It's expensive, but not a luxury. I also can't help but notice you didn't agree or disagree with them saying it's a waste of money or "subjective". Convenient. Just fixate on what I said and not them saying accessibility is a waste of money.

Either way, if you actually read the part of my post you quoted, you'd see that I mocked people that bought it solely for the emote. I also said that I don't believe buying the statue as a collector's item is a waste, just that buying it solely for the emote because it's a "status item" is. You know, the OP's entire point. Don't bother quoting me about what I said on a specific subject if you're not going to include everything I said.

You know what is a luxury? Spending $200 USD on an emote. Not required, but potentially desirable by some. Not needed to play, gives no gameplay advantage, etc. Actual luxury. Different from a tool for accessibility, no matter the cost.

I was in agreement with ya I do not think it is fair or should be seen that way. Just the reality of how people view it though. I said for many luxury does not equate necessity. Even if it is necessary for you some may not see it that way. Like with the lift I got for my father. For many that may seem like overkill but for him it was life changing. Though I will not say the lift is not a luxury item cause it is not many could afford to put an an multi tier lift in their home. Your other quote is kinda irrelevant cause the part that was quoted could be seen as mocking others.

Just because you changed your tune does not change how one could view what you first said as mocking. In the end necessity can be seen as subjective, for some a car is a luxury item but for others it is a way of life. For many people in the US healthcare is a luxury even though it is a necessity.

So this morning while making my GC turn-ins in Ul'dah, I saw someone idling near the aetheryte doing the floating pose from the statue emote. "Neat", I thought as I went about my business completely unfazed that someone has something that I don't. It did remind me of this thread and OP though so there's that I suppose, so you might want to stay out of Ul'dah for a while until they either log or stop being afk.

OP is just sour grapes. best to let this thread die at this point now.

I just want the statue to become available..I don't mind paying $200 for an emote.

[Awha]

I do not mind dropping 200+ bucks for an emote but I do hop if or when they do another run they fix that face paint job. Stuff of nightmares

I mean sure it is a bonus item but the statue should have the same care put into it.

If I was a new player and was told someone paid $200 for an emote I'd laugh at them, not revere or be jealous of theme. While its nice to support the company, its not something I'd be proud of flexing with specifically.

First, Genshin Impact is a gatcha game. It\\'s whole business model is based on that and currently there\\'s no cosmetics you can buy for it. The only cosmetic items are glider wings and they are all earnable in game save for the special set you get for playing on PS4.

Second, the statue is very obtainable. You buy it. Period. The emote is a nod to collectors who are willing to part with that kind of cash for merch tied to the game. If you really want to complain about exclusive items, there\\'s Savage and PvP exclusive gear that I will never ever have access to because of difficulty and lack of commitment. It is available in game but yet still completely unobtainable to me. I bought the Odin statue so I have the Zantetsuken emote. When I use it, it is for my own enjoyment, not to mock anyone and it\\'s no less than I\\'ve seen Savage players do with the mounts they\\'ve gotten from said content.

They deserve those things for the effort they put forth, just as I deserve my emote for working my ass off for the money to buy the item it came with. The problem is not that they are exclusive, YOUR problem is you are not willing to put forth the effort to obtain them. That\\'s not on the developers. That\\'s on you.

At least it's not like when paid for emotes first went into the cash shop. Like, literally everyone around me bought them while complaining, and then basically had parties with spamming them. /playdead and /backflip. Then by the time the peer pressure got to me, they'd lost interest in the "outrageously" overpriced emotes, and I was sore for a little bit.

These emotes should be rare enough that you won't see them that often. Also makes me wonder though, are the statue emotes of today and yesterday account wide? They'd better be for that price tag lol.

Playdead never goes out of style.
