True Tonic Troubles
Someone asked about emotes (on Reddit) and got an answer. It can be applied to your question about new emotes and animations for tonics.
Regina BGimmeSylvariHi ! Will there ever be any official armor design contests?
Like the guild emblem creation, but for a full armor set ?
Also, seeing that the animators do such a great job in GW2, why can’t we get more emotes? (Could even be a gemstore thing, as long as it’s not a book thingie that we have to take everywhere, but something that unlocks new emote commands instead?)
Armor is one of the most expensive things in the game to create. Armor is complicated and needs to be created with many considerations in mind, and these considerations may not be easily apparent or describable to fan armor designers. It isn’t a bad idea to run a contest like this, but it’s many orders more involved than other types of contests, which may be a better use of our limited development and marketing resources. We always have to weigh the pros and cons of any type of contest based on our marketing goals.
Resources and priority comes up with animation and emotes as well. Yes, we can technically create new emotes, but they need to be prioritized over other needs. Do new player emotes take priority over animation for creatures in (as an example) the next raid? If game directors believe that this is a good use of our limited resources, then then this would be prioritized and resources would be allocated accordingly. It would be awesome to have new player-character emotes, but we don’t have unlimited animators, and they may have other other priorities that supersede the desire for new emotes.
ANet may give it to you.

The odds are they aren’t going to give your tonic an acidbuttshoot. But keep hoping. Maybe it will be an elite specialization skill one day.
