== Content ==
			It's time we have a serious discussion about missing emotes in this game. I for one can't play without a /fart emote.	
----
			It bothers me more than it should that /kiss doesn't have an emote.	
----
			
Lack of /spit is almost ...depressing. It's basically an unblockable attack that can be used against Enemy Players, Bosses and People who have better gear than me.
 
Hmm...after reading this /spit seems a little op...	
----
			Lets be serious...Everyone needs /flirt emote added to the game!  But so far all the others are also needed!  Come on DEVS!!!	
----
			/yodel should be added for use in the crafting room. I'm sick of "Heeyyyyyy"	
----
			I kinda wish there was a /guitar where you could play an air guitar like GW.

I just wish the characters had a bit more life to them. In WoW (sorry), the characters felt so alive. They had voice and personality to them, they had attitudes that you could actually feel. They told jokes, they flirted, they cried, they laughed, all that. In Wildstar, we have a bunch of silent little dolls, who don't have any life or personality in them.
 
I'd say the game needs more voice, more life, and more personality (on the character side). Ignoring everything else, look at the WoW characters, and then look at the Wildstar ones. You'll see the difference. ^^

			Can't I get an evil, maniacal cackle?  How come only the Chua get one, and it's just their default laugh? :(

			 I was hoping this game would totally be on target with the emote system and cooler dances ect... since they where going more with word of mouth ect. So because of this i thought it would have a very elaborate emote/dance system to help promote itself through videos that players make. Man a large emote/dance pool mixed with the housing system as its back drop.. would totally open up the flood gates for those that want to make videos..

I miss CoH's emotes. Instant props and everything. Lots of range.
 
Oh and SWG's /mood system was pretty sweet, too. Set your guy to /creepy, and it changed his default stance and facial expression to something lecherous. Or sad. Or happy. Or whatever.

Riding the taxi bored out of my mind...
 
The pose is actually static and she doesnt move.  But they didnt just go with a generic straddle pose there either.  I mean...the eyes is what caught me, they could have had her looking straight ahead but they took the extra work to make her look off to the side?  She even has her right arm resting up on the side there.  Also one other thing i forgot to mention...next time you are on your mount hold down the right mouse button and look slightly left or right.  Not enough to where your whole mount turns just a little bit.  You can sit on your mount and move your head left and right without moving your mount or body...

I meant all the voiced emotes, and just voice in general. In combat you were yelling, grunting, and all that. When you typed /silly, your character would tell a really lame joke. When you laughed, your character actually laughed (I know they do in Wildstar, but the sound is soooooo faint that I swear I just imagine it)... In Wildstar we don't have any voiced emotes, and the characters don't really have any voice either. That's what I'm getting at.
 
On the topic of animation though, every race had different attack animations. In Wildstar, they're all the same.

/Headstand
/Backflop
/jazzhands
/chicken (flapping arms)
/Ballerina
/BroHug
/BroFist
/Pony (use your imagination)
 
 
Should all be standard MMO emotes. In addition to that, The Matrix Online offered 2 party emotes which were really cool and characters would touch (but not cross swords of course) with /hug and /kiss /propose etc.
 
/sniff was hilarious and I'm surprised no one has done it since. Use your imagination. Animals do it. lol.

They still haven't finished the available emotes so I would assume it will take a while for new stuff.
But then we had the strain emote just one patch back so w/e.
 
I want /rock/paper/scissors emotes.

I think the devs had mentioned that certain things were done the way they were because of time limitations.  We didnt get every race and class combo because they ran out of time to do all the animations for example.

			Yeah, I'm so used to emotes, it's definitely an annoyance that a game this polished lacks them. I'm mad that every race has the same dance. WTF Carbine? Really? That's the first emote I check in every new MMO. GW2 won me within moments of seeing my characters sweet moves. The dances in this game are "Meh" .. well the Chua is pretty funny. But still not up to snuff.

			ESO had a gigantic list of emotes, wich was really awesome. I hope we'll see more emotes in the future.

/flipcoin
 
/airguitar
 
Awww hell just all of the emotes found in SWG along with SWGs mood system would be just fine :)
 
Although I do like Wildstar's /flex more than SWGs so that one can stay just as it is....
 
If these changes are not implemented by tomorrow, it's clear teh game will die by this time next week.....am I doing it right? :)
