They might as well take out the primp emote as well, because that does the exact same thing(If worse).. But that stinks! They should at least do some tweaking on it!

If they do that I won't play - because I spend most of my time standing around primping all the time.

Disney taking away the /coin emote on their part is just as immature as it is ridiculous. It goes to show that they are assuming the worst in the simplest things and usually end up taking the worst possible approach. Like the "***Spamming***" feature they added, they should only limit the amount of times you can do an emote per minute. For example, after doing the /coin emote, you'd have to wait about 20-30 seconds before doing it again.

I don't understand how they ban some features due to some unruly players, like the linked accounts for example. Obviously if an account has been banned, you shouldn't have been able to access that account even if it was linked.. for example, logging on to a friends and switching over to the suspended with a message saying "This account is temporarily suspended" or whatever. All in all, Disney needs to step up their game when it comes to taking things with a practical approach, otherwise it just tends to get embarrassing and a sheer annoyance to the players.

What disney is doing is the "easiest way out". In other words, they are being really lazy here, and we now have to suffer for it by losing one of the favorites among emotes.

If Disney does take away the coin flip emote, they should add a new one, like being able to clean your teeth with a dagger, or perhaps the ability to crack your knuckles constantly. Though some might be misusing the coin flip, taking it away without adding another emote to fill the void is harsh.

Actually, my guild mate pointed it out to me. There are two versions of the /coin emote.. as strange as it is. Pirates will still be able to do /coin emote where the avatar will continue to carry out the emote as usual.. However, they are taking away the other version of /coin that is available in the drown down menu by the chat.

Careful Crim. Disney reads these forums, and if you are right, then if they see your post they may take that method away as well.

I'll test that Crim, and hopefully if Disney is reading this, then they'll realize how mad they made they're customers.

EDIT: I just tested it, and Disney did take it away, or at least the way I thought you said it..

I'll try to clarify from the point of view is to how my guild mate explained it to me as well. There are two different stances for the coin emote: one where the avatars legs appear to be separated slightly and the other where they are basically side by side. The emote in which they are planning to take away is where the legs are separated which is the emote found in the drop down menu. This emote is simply, if I were to do it.. "Crim flips a coin." However, the tails and heads one which they are planning to keep is "Crim flips a coin... Heads." Personally, I see no point in taking away the emotes, but if they are going to take this type of approach.. well, I find it unnecessary

Ok, I was pretty mad that coin emote is going to be gone, but now, on abassa, THEY ARE KNOCKING OUT AND BANNING PEOPLE FOR USING EMOTE??? Maybe there IS a secret Gm... (shutter) that's kind of unnerving to think about. Abassa is the number 1 crime server in the game. o__O

Are you saying I can just do a /coin Crim? I tried it and nothing happened. Sorry I don't exactly get what you mean.
