WoW is going to be the lamest game ever after ActiBlizz finishes sterilizing it. People are gonna claim they're being bullied because someone /spits on them? Fuckin' turn off emotes, if it's that big of a trigger. Holy fuck is this kind of shit cringey. We need to stop catering to society's lowest common denominators.

So now you use an in game storytelling moment that shows NPCs reaction to the player character, in story, as that of prejudice, hate, and misunderstanding to show hate towards the in game class (not the player themself) as comparison to people being openly toxic to the player, not anything in game.
Your example equates to: since the movie 12 Years a Slave exists then it’s okay to call poc the N word.
It doesn’t matter if something is more toxic. The fact that it is toxic at all is the problem, and Blizzard is taking steps against it due to the fact it was used to target a specific group of people. The fact it was specifically used to target people is what brought all this up.
Also, last I checked, you can absolutely report people for toxic and abusive behavior, not just for /spit.
Given the stance FF has on toxicity it is hilarious you think Blizzard attempting the same will kill the game while making FF grow. Even Asmogold stated WoW is toxic and he was a large source of it including the whole spit emote fiasco. Don't you find it funny how quickly his act changes when the game he is now streaming for doesn't allow his old persona?

that's the thing though; it's not about the store mounts. it's never been about the store mounts - if it was about the store mounts then you would see it being removed in retail as well, where there are a lot more store mounts than TBC. also, I am curious as to why it's only been disabled on the PTR - I am fairly certain they could test and hotfix something like that in without the need of a patch or testing on the 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.
