Look at how broken this community is, begging for the "opportunity" to spend more money on the game they already bought and subbed monthly for, and are preparing to buy an expansion for in a few months.
These emotes should be tied to completion of the content they're actually referencing, purely in game. But we'll never have that, because we need something to make the whales feel unique. Notice how many of these emotes involve floating. They're literally buying the ability to look down on others. You'd expect this crap in a f2p kmmo with a gacha system.

I know it's hard when the whole industry is like this now, but please try to demand better. If you start bargaining from such a low point, you'll never get anything good.
