Emote Monetization needs to Stop.

Well, if they keep going on with it we're going to wind up with more Cash Shop Emotes than we actually have in-game. 40% is already a big number to consider, since the more that they add on and don't give us, the bigger that number is going to get. We already know that Event Emotes are going to be shoved right into the Online Store anyway instead of put in the actual game for purchase via gil(even if it needs to be exorbitant in some cases) during the event.

In reality it's an aesthetic at the end of the day, but it does leave a lot of people with a bad taste in their mouth e.g. Meister Figure Emotes. It just would help if we got something new instead of constantly throwing crap into the Cash Shop and not giving people who have base game anything but the basic things. MSQ already gives you a handful of emotes, especially during Heavensward Era where we got some good ones - but we didn't see it constantly being thrown into the Online Store until during Shadowbringers.
