    That is one of the many reasons I left Destiny, if they want to give us more emotes fine but they should not cost money. Buying mounts pets and costumes with cash is fine not emotes.

    What's the difference between emotes and mounts/pets/costumes @bryanhaas ? What makes emotes unfit for the crown store and not those other things?

    screw that, NO, are they so desperate of money they needed to sale a couple of animation?

    would i buy it ?, absolutely no, but if they really will sell it, they already in the brink of Destinty type of failure in bussiness model

    Only if they are nice, not bugged, a decent price (like 500 crowns for permanent set)

    If they are timed or ***, then no.

    Hey guys, don't freak out !! It's suggestion by Gidorick. Noone at ZOS ever said, mentioned or even remotely spoke of selling emotes in the crown store.

    (But I still don't get why so many of you think they shouldn't).

    The "I don't care" option is to not vote, which you have done... so consider your vote cast. :wink:

    LOL. and add to this that ZOS seems to be ACTIVELY avoiding implementing anything I suggest... so you're probably pretty dang safe from this ever being a "thing" in ESO.

    I'm surprised at all the "No" responses to be honest. My view is much closer to @jamesharv2005ub17_ESO
    I dont know how much but why not sell emotes. They give you no advantage.

    They are completely inconsequential to anything else in ESO. They are barely even cosmetic yet those who love them really do enjoy using them.

    I don't understand reactions like yours @WalkingLegacy , why would this be THE thing that makes you quit ESO?

    How did LOTRO add emotes to their game @wenxue2222b16_ESO ?

    I agree with @mattymaats that, ideally, we should get them as unlocks in the game but ESO has been out for almost 2 years now and it hasn't happened yet... read into that what you will.

    Pretty simple, emotes are a staple of MMOs. The regular ones we are all use to should already be in the game and fancier, updated ones added in DLC when appropriate. (Like a pickpocket emote with thieves guild)

    When a company starts to nickel and dime for little things like this, I'm out. Cash shops are already very lucrative with mounts, pets, and costumes... Not to mention XP pots and such.

    Most likely it would be emotes you could get in the game or buy via the store. Not exclusively available only from the store. Even if it was tho who cares. You dont need an emote to play the game.

    Because I don't believe in the nickel and dime philosophy of business and will not support it. It's not the end of the world to leave a video game ;)

    Well if you leave over some emotes being in a store thats kind of odd. I dont think most people would do the same.

    The mounts and costumes fall within the DLC so while it seems similar its not.
    -Emotes, don't need to be in any crown store of purchasable at all.

    Emotes are visual tools with which players use to express themselves. In what way would selling emotes be detrimental to the development of the game. What negative effect of Crown Store emotes can you give ?

    hell no.

    This ain't Destiny.

    Consoles are getting text chat, like the PC version.

    Emotes in real MMOs are standard communication.

    What if you... typed "/wave" and then a prompt popped up.... "error: emote not unlocked."

    charging for emotes is too much. Make the expansions good. Give us some lore friendly emotes and dances.

    We already have collectible trinkets/trophies from public dungeons that could be emotified. They already work like emotes. I love those.

    Type in "/Glanir's Smoke Bomb" and you have your complex emote.

    If you currently type in anything that isn't an emote nothing happens. No error... so it wouldn't be any different.

    The problem comes in because there are MANY threads specific to customers asking ZOS to add and arrange emotes for console. They have been unresponsive and unwilling to do this so if they come back with emotes for crowns....its a slap in the face and will pretty much *** us on consoles off.

    For PC, I do understand that it comes off differently but....just sharing both have to work for this so emotes should be off limits for ZOS as far as crowns

    I can see the issue from that perspective. "We asked for some organizational tools and all YOU want to do is sell more to clutter up our menus?!?!"

    I kind of have that same feeling about bags.

    I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean at all. Why are emotes different from costumes ? It's all cosmetics / art / animation... what does it have to do with a DLC ?

    I can't see anything good comming out of limiting how players express and communicate to crown sales.

    There would be no limitation at ALL... the emotes you have now would still be there. It's EXPANDING through crown store... not limiting by it.

    I agree but lets be clear....its not PC suffering due to console limitations.
    Perhaps you're suffering due to ZOS limitations. PC wants emotes...and so does consoles (but with text on ours)....to me it all seems pretty simple.

    Heck...for consoles just add text to existing emotes
