Removal of /spit emote on the PTR

[Mahzoora-zandalar-tribe]

Blizzard thinks this is enough for them to make people forget about those lawsuits. I think they will be shocked.

[Smackrat-mograine]

Man Blizzard are pathetic.

[Othis-hydraxian-waterlords]

You think you do want /spit emote, but you don’t.

[Felsi-tarren-mill]

Easy workaround, macro /e spits on %t. You’re welcome.
This change is completely asinine.

@Jackyy-dragons-call

only /spit removed? I would also remove all chat channels and all emotes and any other way to internact with people in the game.

Yeah why even have chat functionality? Let’s remove that and void all interaction between players, because all we really want is a single player WoW game!

[Máenor-silvermoon]

Ever thought this was in response to asmongold proving he actually is an ashol when he urged his viewers to spit on people who has the mount and the mindless drones actually started doing it?

[Ramen-haomarush]

/point
/spit on floor

I think they’ll get the message

This is by far the dumbest change I’ve seen in all of TBC Classic, the /spit emote is one of the most iconic emotes of WoW and removing it because some people find it “toxic” is very stupid. If you’re that worried about the player base being toxic, then how about ban/suspend the players who gank lowbies and camp them for 4-5 hours until they log off or quit the game? Or how about the players that are literally openly trying to scam people on the AH by listing cheap items for 500-3k gold?
The point I’m trying to make here is that there are players doing much more horrible & toxic things that heavily impact the player experience and no action is being taken against them. Instead, you decide to remove a harmless emote that’s been around in the game for almost forever.
So far, looking at most of the changes Blizzard has made so far in TBC classic, it seems like they are slowly trying to strip away the identity of these “Classic” expansions and make it feel less and less like the original experience.
I hope the removal of the /spit emote is going to just stay in the PTR, and never make it to live.

Revolution is here, deal with it. cant stop the revolution. I dont care about the removal of spit it doesn’t affect me. qq more No changes Conservatives.

[Okayeg-earthshaker]

Just unsubbed and as the reason I wrote “removal of /spit”. Blizzard doesn’t even care so why would I? I’ll go play some other games.

[Kylynn-mirage-raceway]

They cared enough to set up a weakaura

And my wallet is fine, I can afford to buy a game I won’t play for a Viridian Phase-Hunter in a game I do play.

[Alextheswift-pyrewood-village]

Nicely write post big tumb for your tough. I felt the same when I read the article on wowhead. I could it bealive some snow flakes can get so dramatically for an emote which how you said it was from the beginning. Exactly how you said there are other real toxic elements on the game and has zero punishment. But this … is just lame.

[Leaf-nethergarde-keep]

Well this explains a lot. The last couple of days random people have been spat on for no apparent reason, i guess some players have some saliver they need to get out of the system before the /spit gets removed on live.

[Gorrash-aszune]

lawl, that made my day.

[Tången-hellscream]

was they mounted on a reawakened phase-hunter by any chance?

[Leaf-nethergarde-keep]

No. Just the random player.

[Zeluvek-frostwolf]

I spit on every alliance scum I see.

[Mahzoora-zandalar-tribe]

Is it still removed or was that a bug?

[Valkia-mirage-raceway]

It’s removed, it’s intentional, not a bug.

[Benjamin-sunstrider (Benjamin)]

The day this makes it live is the day I unsub from WoW

You hear that Blizzard,

No more precious $$ from me.

[Amrad-mograine]

Completely pointless too as there are so many emotes that can be used while targetting someone riding the deluxe mount, so Blizzard better remove all emotes. Sigh.
