Emotes not working as intended

The emotes do not work for me. My understanding is you type /lute in the chat panel & your character should start playing the loot. Tried various emotes, none of them work, no animation...nothing.

Is there a way to fix this?

Should add I typed /emote, did not work either. Played this game since beta & this issue has never been resolved.

    Hey there @phairdon,

    Is this occurring with all of the emotes, or just /lute? There are various emotes you can test, and you can be in any chat form to make the commands work. Here's a handy topic that lists quite a few of them.

    If you're running into the same issue, we'd like to ask if you're running any add ons. Since add ons can affect parts of the interface, including the chat window, disabling them my assist with this situation.

    If none of your emotes are working, and disabling add ons doesn't help (or you never had any in the first place), please let us know and we'll be happy to keep helping!

    Hi Gary

    None of the emotes work. Tried various different ones.
    Yes I do have add ons. Although this problem occurred before any add ons were ever installed. I'll turn off all the add ons & let you know whether it makes a difference.

    Update:

    Tried 8 different emotes with add ons disabled. No success.

    Thanks @phairdon, we'll be happy to see what we can do!

    First, run a repair of their client to see it fixes the issue. To do this, close the game and open the launcher, select Game Options above the news articles, then select Repair from the drop down. If it does not, please proceed with the following:

    1. Do a /reloadui in game

    2. Switch weapons and try again

    3. Type /dance and then hit /dance again

    4. If you are in first person view, please switch to third person and try again

    If none of the above work, please answer the following questions:

    1. What characters is this happening on? All or just one?

    2. When did you first experience the issue?

    3. What were you doing right before it started happening?

    Thanks for your patience and for the additional information!

    Tried all steps listed above with no result.

    This has been ongoing since at least April 2014. Was questing before this started happening.

    Happening with all my characters.

    Hey there @phairdon,

    Since those steps didn't work, we went ahead and created a Customer Support ticket for you. They'll be able to take a deeper look into your account and determine why you're unable to use emotes. Thanks for your patience!

    how did you get it to work? the emotes on my account stop working about 1 year ago and never returned. i tried in all my computers and in different OS and it doesn't work. in 2014 all emotes were running very well. seems to be an account problem or limitation.

    Hiya, a friend of mine have the same problems. She cant do any emotes since upgraded to Win 10.
    She got contacted by support and tried everything they said.

    She disabled all addons, repaired and everything on the list. Still she can not do emotes.

    Are there any other magic fix not posted here?

    It might sound silly but are you in a menu when you're typing the emotes? Like character info screen or inventory etc.?

    You have to be idle and not in any menu for them to work.
