    Should /spit be removed?

    Very rude emote if not the rudest in the game. Makes sense sometimes to use in PvP for faction pride and all but when it comes to ganking newbies, spitting on people you don't like, spitting on new players, spitting on people whom are underperforming, spitting on people who you are jealous of, spitting on younger and elderly players, spitting on people whom have a different view point than yours and I can go ON AND ON AND ON this emote is just straight up harassment.

    Should it be removed in your opinion?

    No, but should never have been added to begin with it was predictable what it would encourage.

    Of course not, what happens if you end up in a group with a noob?

    Killing things should be removed as well. It is bad to kill. We now only leave people with 1 HP and give them a hug.

    Spitting is a sign of respect for pirates!

    No, the emote is fine. People will be rude to each other no matter what, it's a video game. Removing every possible avenue of expression that can be used for "harrassment" (lol) will only be removing the RPG elements of the game.

    Honestly if /spit bothers you in a video game I think you need to get a thicker skin.

    Didn't the guards use /spit on DK's running into their main city in wotlk beta before it got changed to 'tosses rotten apple' or whatever it is now?

    I think you have more problems in your life if a emote in a video game bothers you this much.

    Pretty sure they still do, its a mix of things.

    And really... have we grown so... weak that /spit is something we need a safe space for now?

    And wouldn't /rude be more "rude"?

    Sorry but you cannot justify harassment or discriminatory behavior. Its fine if NPCs do it because its lore. I'm talking about the players doing it to be rude which cannot be justified but should be punished.

    You just defeated your own argument in the post. Get over it.

    You could just spit back but you'll end up cleaning your monitor for another 10minutes after tho.

    You Are Joking Right? I Don't Think Any Emotes Should Ever Be Removed, And Should Only Be Added To, And Mabey Even Updated With More Voice Emotes. If /Spit Offends You Over Anything, Then It Is Doing What Its Made To Do, And Gets You Fired Up. And While I Also Get Worked Up When Someone Spits On Me. I Just Crush Them In A Fight, Or Just Simply Move On Doing Whatever While Ignoring The Chat Window.
