SE why is shake drink a persistent emote, of all things?

[AvalonBright]

I'm seriously giving y'all the side-eye at the decision making on hand here. Someone thought it was a great idea to let people set up this shaker and just afk to be an annoyance forever, but we still need to macro wait commands for any lengthy degree of Read, Tomestone, and numerous others. What..?

If you're going to do this with the shaker at least go back and fix the ones that actually make sense.

I think this emote makes sense to be a persistent emote, all things considered.

But yes I do agree that they should look at past emotes and make those persistent where appropriate. Insist and Read are the ones that instantly come to mind for me.

'Scuse me while I mix a drink...forever.

Yeah, there's definitely no potentially annoying application here at all.

'Scuse me whilst I read the same page of a book....Forever.

'Scuse me whilst I perpetually insist that you do something...Forever.

'Scuse me whilst I look at my tomestone...Forever.

The list can continue for each and every emote following your brilliant logic... Point being, you're making a non-point. This is an emote that can be combo'd with others, e.g., Shake Drink > Hand Over. Let's just be honest with ourselves, your problem isn't whether it makes sense for it to be persistent.

Well, they probably flipped a coin, because if they didn't make it persistent, there'd be a post here complaining that it wasn't persistent, and you know it.

The solution is now clear: add a persistence toggle that applies to every emote.

'Scuse me whilst I read the same page of a book....Forever.

'Scuse me whilst I perpetually insist that you do something...Forever.

'Scuse me whilst I look at my tomestone...Forever.

Mixing a beverage takes maybe 30 seconds, whereas people spend hours at a time reading a book or staring at a screen in one sitting. And when someone gets on your case about something, they NEVER let up.

And of course, those emotes don't make any noise either. But the noise really is only a problem if it's persistent, since you're barred from spamming. Combo argument only supports it not being persistent too.
