Old Fun Bug Removed? When and Why?

DeadlyPhoenix

So, ever since I could remember players have been able to use an emote while moving. It only showed for other players and not yourself, but it was still comical some of the movements characters made and at the same time it was nice being able to walk around playing the lute, rather than standing in one spot.

So when and why exactly did they remove this? Yes, it was a bug. There are a lot of bugs in this game and this one did seems like something that didn't really need fixing compared to numerous other actual game breaking bugs.

Personally I've been hoping they would allow us to use certain emotes while moving and mounted. This "bug fix" seems like a step in the wrong direction personally.

So how many others of you wish they would revert this change and allow us to move while using emotes again!?!?!

Not a big deal, I realize. Just miss a feature I hadn't thought about in a while only to find out it's gone.

Edit*
Yes, I listed it as a "feature" intentionally since other "bugs" were accepted as features. (Looking at you animation cancelling.)

Emotes like Torches should be usable while moving/stay active while moving.

Agreed, which is why I was sad to see this bug has been removed. If they plan on making certain emotes visible while moving I'm perfectly fine with them removing it. However if they have no plans to do so, allowing us to walk around playing the lute and such, then personally I would like them to revert it at least.

/letter was probably always supposed to be a 'reading' emote and not the 'bind current emote' that it turned into.

There were quite a few visual bugs associated with /letter though, so I'd rather have an intended feature than the old bug back.
