WTF is this Anet :)
That’s an NPC sitting on the one chair that was specially designed for her to sit on.

“So, what’s the deal with chairs?”
A brief, surprised laugh. “You know, I honestly have no idea. One of the great challenges that we faced with chairs, and this is kind of ironic, is that because we put in five different races of differing heights into the game, we found we had to make every chair uniform and have everyone always sit on them the exact same way or build an entire system that recognizes the height of the chair and appropriately animates your character.”
Johanson adds dolefully, “We kind of forced ourselves into a corner where we either go back and re-art every chair in the game, or we build this system for sitting. I think in the grand scheme of things, given all the other projects, we have going on, sitting, as important as it is, is not something we’re currently working on.”
The main problem is that when using emotes, your character’s positioning is the feet, rather than the center point like every other MMO. So emotes really don’t work so well thanks to that… sigh
I’m sure they also said like a million times there weren’t going to be any expansions, too
