LFG Emote Would You Like One?

I was thinking this weekend as I stood in front of a dungeon looking for someone to group with that it would be nice to have a visual indicator of who else is standing there looking for someone to group with. As opposed to someone who is just standing there waiting for their already established group.
It's kind of weird to poke 5 or 10 players asking them if they need to a group or already in a group. Not everyone has their chat windows going, so spamming the zone/say/yell wont' get to everyone. This way I could know who is looking and who is just waiting.
It could be a taberd or sign or even an indicator that floats above the character. Although a Taberd like the ones for the Guilds might be the most noticeable and easy to implement.
We could pick one of the already availible emotes, but getting that to be a standard might be problematical. With a ZOS supplied one, then we know if they are up for a group or not.

Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

✭✭✭Other. No I don't want an emote for it I just want the LFG tool overhauled which I believe they are doing in 1.5 but I can't remember. But I know they said they are overhauling it.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Would like an Emote to Tell others I am waiting to GroupOK, sure we can wait the months it will take for them to fix this tool, or we can have something else much sooner to get us by until they fix it. This is not instead of the game's LFG tool, something to use until it's fixed.

✭✭✭✭✭Would like an Emote to Tell others I am waiting to GroupI think this would be pretty fantastic...and possibly hilarious. What should the emote look like? I have this sudden image of toons down on their knees with their hands clasped beneath their chins and big sad puppy-dog eyes, essentially begging! Perhaps something more fearsome, along the lines of sharpening a weapon whilst waiting for one's companions in arms to appear might feel a little more hero-like. But UNTIL we get such a specific emote maybe we could somehow get the word out that anyone seen praying outside a dungeon is is actually, "PRAYING FOR GROUP!" What do you think?PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!1 -

✭✭Would like an Emote to Tell others I am waiting to GroupIt'd be interesting to be able to stand there with a torch or lantern to indicate looking for a group.
I know there are people hoping to be able to walk with, or use a torch while walking, as part of game play or role play.
I'd like to see something similar, standing at a group dungeon entrance for instance, without stealing the RP's thunder.Edited by twev on September 29, 2014 2:40PMThe problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.0 -

✭We can use an already existing emote (explain which in your answer)ZOS is working on a new version of the LFG UI tool. I rather used that then stand in front of a dungeon in the 1st place.0 -

They could put the emote in by lunchtime today EDT.ZOS is working on a new version of the LFG UI tool. I rather used that then stand in front of a dungeon in the 1st place.
Who knows when the LFG UI tool will be introduced and working as intended?

✭I cant imagine any practical usage of this emote. You need to group - use LFG or grouping tool.Make sweetrolls, not nerfs!0
