Should Anet add experience emotes?

Hi

I think it would be cool for Anet to add emotes when you hit a certain experience mark. I'm not sure what the mark would be, but maybe every 500k experience or maybe 1 million experience. The emotes should look similar to the rank emotes, but maybe be different colors and animals/symbols. I already know this game isn't about "grind", but this is something a little extra to reward people that have a lot of experience.

I will admit I kind of feel left out for not having an emote because I don't pvp, so now this will even the sides so to speak. Grinding is not required, as pvp is not required to enjoy the game. You can say this will promote grinding which doesn't matter to me because I don't have a problem with people farming, however it's obvious some players do, and I'm sure I will see you guys post here. =) Please don't post Anet didn't intend for people to farm.

What does everyone else think about this idea?

Thanks

I've R3 (love the deer), and agree to this idea.

Think it'd be kinda nifty to show off how much exp you have, maybe like a glowing aura thingy (/exp emote) at 1,000,000 exp, then a different one for each mil after?

But think about the players without a ton of experience. I can see it now:
Inside Thunderhead Keep
Me: Monk LFG!
random whisper : 'wuts ur xp rank'
Me: o.o I don't have one
random whisper : 'we dun wnt n00bs go away'
Me: But I can heal! I've played a monk in PvP before!

Now, is that what we really want?

Note: i kept my farming comments to myself! Yay!!

yes, very cool, Heelz.

I think its a good idea and have harped about this for some time. Why shouldn't we have one? PvPers would scream bloody murder if we had one and they didn't.

Isn't that why you have levels?

Having 1mil exp just means you've farmed, unless I'm very wrong and you can get that much simply through gameplay (all missions + quests)?

So... I guess if you want a farmer on the team, then yeah, sure, an exp. emote would help.

I understand what u mean but to have an emote based off of just xp would be exploited. If u want an emote for pve maybe they should just add some extra hard missions which are only accomplished for a pve version of rank/fame. Have it so where it is so tough that u would need a combined group of 16 or more players in a coordinated effort to complete the goal.

Good idea. But I rather not get an emote base on experience, cause exp. doesn't tell anything other than you farm a lot. I rather get an emote for finishing all mission and bonus, or all Titan quests, or something that is challenging.

Odds of getting a team of 16 players without a complete idiot to ruin your mission? Slim to none unless you do it with friends.

I requested an emote based on number quests completed to Gaile Gray in LA Int1 awhile ago. She seemed to think it was a good idea which she'd follow up.

I dont agree with pve or pvp emotes, theres a pvp emote so i think its reasonable to expect a pve emote, they can both be farmed, and imo both take just as much work to attain, but the people that lose out are the people not willing to grind.

Nice idea in theory, but will be bad in execution. Because experience in one area of PvE doesn't always translate into skill in other areas. - I've got well over 2,000,000 XP, but have only been in FoW twice, UW once, so I'm by no means experienced in those areas. But with the new Tombs, I've done that successfully quite often (20+ times), playing 3 different professions. So I'm experienced in that place.

Not for XP, but an emote for PVE characters that shows that they have all the skills of a certain class acquired, whether or not they have that as their secondary or not at the moment, That way I could do my Mesmer, Monk, and necromancer ones at the same time and show off or something, I don't know.

Almost flamed the crap out of you until I read ur whole post! Yeah, I've got over a mil with mish/quests, helping guildies.......... as for the OP, don't see the point. I know what I've done.... I had FUN! I don't need an emote for that!

Thanks for the comments! I understand this emote wouldn't mean jack for the skills of the players, I only wanted the emote to favor farmers! Hehe the truth comes out! I play almost all missions with hench anyways, so I could care less about someone's emote that could possibly be in my team. I also think it's stupid how pvper's ask for a players rank emote to be in a group. I say either give an exp emote or remove pvp emote.

I also agree there should be an emote for completing all the missions and quests in the game or for having all the skills. I got a new idea, what about an emote for the amount of skill points you have,and it changes every 10-20 skill points or so.
