Please seek help. This is very much a capitalistic move by Blizzard. They want to stop players from discouraging people from buying their overpriced product (mount). It is a change purely motivated by a wish to increase their profit.

A simple emoticon is more than enough.
inb4 they remove /kiss for promoting sexual harassment.
The /spit emote is out of place in WoW? Let me quote someone I saw write a comment in a YouTube video regarding the topic:
“You can immolate people’s skin, rend their flesh, stun them by piercing their kidneys with machete-length daggers, apply curses on people that intensify to the point of an excruciatingly painful death and steal the essence of their soul to use in summoning demons from the bowels of darkness… but God forbid a bit of saliva-boi dripping on someone”
Would you say that the ability “Cannibalize” is out of place in WoW too? When an undead player kills me and uses that ability, I would say it is far more off-putting than a simple emote that shows some words in the chatbox. When someone cannibalizes you, you can actually see them eat your corpse in-game.

The fact that they actually sat in some kind of conference room and decided to remove an emote due to “toxic behaviour” just proves the point of how incompetent this company is. You literally ruin yourself and I am really glad you do so.

Maybe when you grow up and find more horrible things happening to you in real world, you will not care too much about an online game emote.

Capitalistic move by losing subscribers, such as potential buyers for micro transactions is a capitalistic move? 
They hurt their money and their image with stupid SJW changes likes that. So blaming it on capitalism ist just as moronic as the change itself. Except your little gnome brain is playing fast and loose with the definition.
Well, there is still the custom emote. I am sure that people will come up with some macro with player target included to go around this, if they really want to /spit on someone.
You clearly didn’t need to add “10chars” to make it 10 chars lol.
You can spit the ground
Making money is the goal of the company. Sure, they follow the kind of mainstream ideas of “woke” culture or whatever but its all just to try to keep a good image so they can make more money. It’s nowhere near marxism.
Pathetic change.

/spit
It is and it’s a good one.
Hence most of us have quit already…
I feel okay about these. But I do somewhat dislike when gankers or rude members of my faction /spit on me. That’s all.
I have a reasonably thick skin and rarely get truly upset over WoW. All I’m saying that I never liked the emote. When people are rude to me or my family or friends, I often think “boy, that was unnecessary”. When people /spit on me or my family or friends, I think the same.
I even agree it’s a silly change. But fighting for /spit as if it’s some integral part of the game is even sillier in my opinion.
TBC is infested with botters, boosters and level boosts but i guess removing the ability to /spit at people should be the top of the priority list 
thanks blizzard

It’s peak 21st century problems and entitlement. Imagine being so privileged that you’re genuinely offended about a character in a fantasy game spitting on you. I don’t believe anyone is offended by this, people nowadays are just so privileged that they are actively looking for something to be offended by. The removal of the spit emote sums up modern society - fake, privileged, and selfish.
