Im particle to going all in with making people like that uncomfortable. Go full on lewd. It’s the best part about being on Moon Guard.

If any moron spits on me I’ll just go buy another mount lol.
Anyway I’m pretty sure you can shut off emotes if it bothers you. Just uncheck them in the chat box settings.

Yeah, I am serious. There are times words can cut through a person easier than a knife.
You are truly a gem (no sarcasm). You are correct, but it’s hard not to poke at the white knighting going on.
I shall stop and rise above.

Shutting off emotes entirely because people are being immature isn’t something I should have to do.
What about learning to be a good person and not being a bully? I don’t care for separate instances of spitting, but we should take a stand when a 20k average viewers stream spearheads a campaign like this.

If to are insulted by someone /spitting on you in a videogame you need to grow thicker skin. It’s a game.
Let them stew in their jealousy because they are unwilling to buy such an epic mount. Keep your head tall and proud! Even better /lol at them for it. I’d bet money that will get under their skin.
Or whisper them “oooh daddy more!” That will probably make them very uncomfortable.

Again, thick skin isn’t an issue for me. But for some, it really is. People with mental health and image/self-confidence issues.

Put all your store mounts on a hotbar, follow them sitting directly on the characters /spitting. Swap from one store mount to the next… that will make them extremely happy.

It’s a game that needs more moderation and care for how players feel. If Blizzard didn’t care about how our experiences are they wouldn’t remove posts from the forum when they are mass flagged. The system messages you and informs you that the community was upset about your post and that’s why Blizzard removed it.
Blizzard does care about our feelings.
I agree with you but unfortunately you can only control you and how you react to things. You can’t make people stop being jerks. There will always be jerks, the best you can do is just ignore them or do things that will keep them away from you(shutting off emotes).
I think being courteous is awesome, but if I were to stress as much as you seem to I think the harm to me would be greater than any of my verbal jabs cause.
This PC culture neglects the stress placed on the speaker. The ever changing rules that care nothing for motive are exhausting.
The world is a jungle young one. It’s better to put on boots than try and pave the whole world. If you’re able.
I just do a /spit on a alliance body, otherwise I didn’t think I otherwise used it
Not sure if this is satire but in a game where you murder people with swords, axes, maces and magic, is it the spitting that’s considered a “violent attack”?

Yet spit is an ingame emote…
This is far from a dilemma
Besides the thing about him not taking responsibility, is not that he doesnt want to, he simply cant, try to control thousands of people to not do stupid stuff, see how that goes for you. And he cant control how his fans react, hes not a god.
And supporting the game thing, you’re not supporting the game, you are supporting MTX which have a massive negative effect on the game.
Also this is far from being a kids game, if you cant handle being spit on then this is far from being the game for you.

People are largely misconstruing the point of the thread.
I am not asking the devs to remote spitting. Spitting in isolated incidents is whatever. It’s targeted spitting at a certain demographic with the sole purpose of alienating that playerbase and discouraging them is what I have issues with.

To the people saying “grow thicker skin, its a game” yes it is a game, a game with a community that people want to see better. Its not about the /spit its about the fact that some dude can get thousands of people to do what ever he wants to other people because he did not get his way. Someone who holds that level of control to go after a certain group of people is bad for the community.

TBF it does hurt people, stupid people that are overly sensitive about the most pointless stuff.
For example that new OW character Sigma, people are going nuts over the fact that he doesnt wear shoes and that hes white (when the last character was black may i add and the first 3 human new heroes also being dark skinned)

Personally, I’d rather get /spit on for riding a store mount than by that one guy in a 5-man gank squad who thinks he 1v1’d you.
And I got to be honest, people do far worse with emotes. That creepy male character who /lick or /sniff female characters. Or how about the custom emotes where you can basically say whatever f’d up thing you want.
