Omega Emote is Tasteless

[Zomkei]

Also makes me wonder though, are the statue emotes of today and yesterday account wide? They'd better be for that price tag lol.

they're account wide

I wonder how many people will it take to place you back into horny jail again

I thought this was gonna be about how stupid it is to have paid emotes in a subscription based game.
Turns out it's entirely about OP's ego. You probably complain about Top 100 rewards in the Feast too, huh?

Can you imagine spending $200+ on an emote?! Its so dumb! Good thing I bought a statue for $200+ instead, came with a free emote too!

Unfortunately, there are people out there who probably only bought that statue for the emote. Even so, I've seen the emote a few times. Not all that impressive to be honest.

"Yay, I can float in place while holding a glowing sword!"

Yeah, well, I can stand on the ground and do the same thing.

Is this an out of season April fools post?

This is the equivalent of 2 guys rolling up to a stoplight - one in a Toyota Corolla and one in a BMW M3... the Corolla owner sees the M3 and thinks they shouldn't be allowed to have that car b/c it is so much better and faster, while the Corolla owner sadly doesn't have the means to afford the M3 so thinks no one should be able to own one. Only in the mind of the OP is this oppression - in most other normalized psyches it is just the natural order of capability vs. mediocrity. And really...$200 is only 15 McDonald's dinners for 1, or 50 daily Starbucks, or 2 fancy dinners....save up if you want something, or don't^^

Sounds like you have much bigger problems than an emote in a video game.

I don't see the problem here, it is a collectors item, the statue itself would even gain some value over time, that it is offered is an unique thing, that most other games can not grant, look at it like those people that has collected toys the entire life and more.

Or rare paintings... classic cars... and more.

It wasn't about the emote for me. I have been saving to buy one of the statues since forever. I wanted Odin but hadn't reached my goal by the time he sold out. I finally gave up hope of a rerun and purchased Omega. Why? Eventually this game will close down. The statue is a nice thing I can keep on my shelf as a momento when it has. Go ahead, put the emotes in the shop, they're fun little extras but I bought the statue for the statue. Maybe if I am lucky with timing I might get Shiva too. Who knows, maybe my dream will come true and Odin will get a re-release. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to buy it if they re-release Omega in the future.

I realize I'm lucky, that I have the luxury of being able to buy a moderate frivolity now and again, but I'm not out here to lord it over anyone.
