I appreciate and respect your willingness to give real answers. And I wouldn't say "always", but "too often".

From another thread:

They did it, but had to adjust a hojillion animations to do so: every emote, and every animation that goes into or out of the idle stance. It ended up being a largish amount of work for something really pretty minor and simple.

This sort of admission may be why people find it hard to swallow your very reasonable-sounding explanation. I'm guessing you play your dwarf guard more than you play your burglar (if you even have one)...

Why are you worrying about dwarf hauberks, LM staves, emotes on horseback and having contests to add new horses to the game while at the same time trashing the immersive quality of one of a class's signature skills?
