Just saw now in dev tracker section that this is a confirmed bug.

Necroing this… it’s been 9 months. Can we get a fix now?
+1. This is a dumb move on Anet’s part to appease a tiny minority.

You know, it’s been 9 months and I still don’t know why they took the animations out in the first place. The thread that’s linked earlier in the post gives me a 404.
The other thing I’ve noticed is that my female asurans don’t yawn and stretch anymore either. I only noticed this because I remember one of my character’s shoulders clipping into her head when she was doing it.

“…Kormir? I know not of whom you speak.”
No what I mean is that an idle animation is quite possibly the least important thing they could ever delete to me. Mainly because it serves no use whatsoever other than to break some very minor level of tedium while you stand there doing nothing but stare at your character.
The only way you can put any weight of importance on this is by making it a matter of principle, in which case there are still much more worthy subjects to moan about.
And yes, I do love to use the word asinine. It makes me feel rebellious towards the censor.

Define ‘many people’. I’m willing to bet that this is a non-issue to the large part of the community.
As to my contribution, touché. It was meant as a cynical joke, more than anything. I do apologize if I hurt your feelings. It was really insensitive of me, with all the distress this missing animation is causing.
Joy to the world, ignorance is bliss
All right, I concede!
Linking the trivial nature of the problem to a lack of importance to people was clearly a fallacy of my part. I’ll kick the dirt, unlike your female human characters…

A lot of people hate this – and so do I. A while ago a lot of weapon idle animation was taken out of the game. I hope these can be re-added because they were pretty cool.
If here they fall they shall live on when ever you cry “For Ascalon!”
I still want to know why they were removed in the first place. Anyone have any clue?

We may be in a minority in this, but yes. I miss that as well. It was painfully cute on my mesmer.

No, I am convinced that this decision (for at least a few of these animations that are taken out) is because of somebody who is obsessed with feminism and finds nearly everything that is not boring a bad reflection of females. The female walk was probably to execrated ‘as if all woman walk like that’ and the stretching animation was likely sexism because when the female stretches the breast are being pushed forward.
Careful. Speaking the truth like that will get you in trouble.
“Oh no. We can’t have you doing that!”
