Upcoming Shards of Domination Set Bonus Buffs, Spit Emote Removed on TBC Classic PTR

Yes you do need to have a thicker than 0mm skin to play World of Warcraft. And that's true for every multiplayer game that has a far-reaching audience and where there is chat functionality involved.

Disabling a single emote solely because of the frequency of its targeted usage is just laughable and extremely exploitable.
Using the same rationale, what are they going to do when a streamer tells their armies to go /point /laugh /mock /rude at the same people who have been spat on?

Disable all these emotes?
Remove the entire chat functionality?

If you are bothered so much by other people's emotes, either

1) ignore said people, or
2) hide Emotes from your chat window.

So utterly sad that low-effort attention seeking brings results like this.

Why give a free pass to people harassing others just because it involves a cash shop item? It has everything to do with toxicity. If people were not using it to be toxic it likely wouldn't even have been thought of by Blizzard as a thing that needed to be removed.

.../spit deters people from buying store mount, blizzard wants more store mount purchases, removes ../spit its all about the money, if you can't see that, I'm sorry for you. I am one of those store mount buyers as well.

Which is harassment. An emote won't stop people from buying a store mount. Spit is not about the money but about people getting petty revenge against someone that isn't even to blame for what they are angry over.
