I think its fine for your to removed it for the general population it is needed but clearly some want it back. So why not just sell it back for 59.99 for removed emote and 59.99 for flirt. You can then combine it for 99.99 as a combo deal , and before you think its a bad idea. Make it so only people that bought the emote and flirts can see each other emote and flirt. So they will be separated from general populance . That way you can make even more money. As for the art if people really want to see it i think 29.99 could be a good price for them to see it at the original piece. Think of it as them paying to enter an art musem. Same price.
So what you think? Good compromised? Those that really want it? Make em pay!
Semantics. We’ve had access to it, we should continue to have access to it, and “It’s not your game” doesn’t fly with me because I’ve played this game for seven years - others have played for far longer - and I should have a dang say as a consumer if a newer round of Blizzard developers want to remove something that I (and many other players) as well as the original developers were okay with.
They’d be different if emotes worked like other games, or expanded upon what we already had. Character gestures and things, rather than just a bit of text that’s potentially bad-natured.
