BROKEN: Emote Double Name & Range

Hello! I don’t know if this has hit your radar yet but custom emotes are in a silly state right now. The range is still massive (instead of being closer to the /say range, which no one benefits from) and currently if you custom emote it turns into:

Billy Bob: Billy Bob does a custom emote.

Most preferable would be to keep the first name selective as it is currently in game, but to get rid of the : and double name all together. If that’s impossible to do, I think

Billy Bob: does some custom emotes.

would be the best.

(And please adjust emote range to /say range size! Emote range is massive and contributes to a lot of angry RPers, PvPers and PvErs who feel spammed!)

Hey all! I want to let you know, that was one of the things we’ve been working on today and it was part of the hotfix that just went out! “Custom emotes no longer add the sender’s name.”
