Guild Wars 2

So we are facing SoR this week and they are a lot of fun to play against. However the emote spam is really childish and trolls are for WoW. Anet needs to finally do something about this please. Either suppress the number of emotes from a team or remove them completely.

Report them for spamming?

i’ve always hated emote spam, and wanted to see it removed for a different reason. it’s insanely hard to hide when it constantly spams that you’re sitting/sleeping out in a radius around you. its like a frickin’ homing beacon. it’s been in every MMO i’ve ever played, and it’s been absolutely unnecessary. if it’s used in a social situation, i can see the dude i’m talking to sit down. no one is going to be like “oh crap, what did he do?? he’s not standing anymore!! holy crap! i’m scared!!!” then look over and read the chat box, breath a huge sigh of relief and say" whew!!! he’s only sitting. i’m glad the game made it a point to tell me that. now if only it would remind me each time i’m supposed to breath….."

instead, they stick it in there like we’re too dumb to comprehend what we just watched. then, if someone wants to make use of kneeling, sitting, or laying down for stealth purposes, they’re SOL. and don’t even get me started on that obnoxious neon sign floating over my head. name tag….. when was the last time you went into burger king and saw one of those over the head of the dude behind the counter? maybe if you were tripping your balls off, but not if you were sober.

Is it one player? Or a group?

Not to condone or defend these actions, but I have seen commanders ask their force to /wave, /dance, /sleep, etc. So if it was a large group, it may have just been one of those instances.

It was one player while we were taking back our Garrison on TCBL. SoR Veteran. Didn’t see his tag, so I don’t know what guild. He kept spamming surprised.

It was really annoying, especially because it makes it hard for militia who aren’t in VoIP and don’t know better to see what the commander is saying. Whatever, though. We took it back anyway.

I’m not sure if this would be the solution for every player, but it would certainly help those relying on chat commands to do their job. You could ask them to turn off emotes in their chat. Although I’m always in VOIP, I still have them turned off just so I don’t have to put up with emote spamming trolls.

Yeah, that’s what we did. We also encouraged people to get into VoIP. It wasn’t a big deal, but still pretty annoying.

Eh? Why is this a problem?

You can turn off emotes in chat.

Some people do like to keep the emotes on, so when clearing a tower after capturing they can see that invader going to sleep (to hide from sight)..

Its actually childish to be offended by it, lol

It is bad players doing it. They have an ego to stroke so they emote spam when they roll over one player with ten of theirs since they know they suck and can’t do anything else.

You can also emote spam them if you want to lower yourself to their level.

So create another tab with emotes? Or create a WvW tab that has no emotes and you can switch to main if you need to see them? Or… do whatever works best for you with the tools that are available instead of QQing about something stupid.

Chill.. I was just clarifying to someone why people would wanna keep the emotes on..
Also, I’m not the OP, so I’m not QQing about anything.. L2R, my friend..

Turn off emotes. You think sitting/sleeping will actually help in hiding? A decent sweep can ruin that.

If you are a sensitive snowflake you shouldn’t post stupid comments in defense of stupid posts. When you do, you get lumped in with them.

This topic really didn’t need to be made especially since it was 1 person 1 time…seriously you got offended by that? Lol

Now that I know it bothers you so much…………..

LOL

You can turn emotes off in your chat tab settings. Have one tab w/ emotes and the other without.

Bam, I’m a genius.
