Let me first preface this with my stance on the matter, I have absolutely no problem with forced emotes whatsoever. But as a solutions oriented man, I have racked my brain for an answer to end this great travesty of our time.
Simply put, there is only one.
The Turbine store.
This is the only solution to the problem because Turbine will not act unless they make a profit. So why not embrace this and make it a call to action. They either could sell a permanent forced emote opt out or more realistically what they will do, looking at their recent trends, is sell a forced emote opt out buff per hour. While the per hour buff is not the greatest option, it would at least help protect organized events such as these.
And judging by the amount of threads and anger over forced emotes, I do not understand why Turbine has not already cashed in on this goldmine. Call me crazy, but I predict many more people buying forced emote opt out than some tomes for their warsteeds.
Maybe this was Turbine's plan all along.
Na, they are not that smart!
If this happens I am out of here. I was in the team which organized Weatherstock 2012. We had about 500 visitors for about 6 hours. So that would make a nice sale of about 3000 of those items on one day if every visitor would like to be "safe".
Weatherstock is an event to celebrate music and to have fun. It was not invented to support sales in the Turbine Store. And you all can be sure that I would not pay Turbine to finally be safe from idiots they created. That would be plain blackmail.
This idea is not smart, sorry. It's the plain opposite. It would ony cause an uproar of musical RP'ers of epic proportions.
