A Question About The Tomestone App Emote

I’ve honestly wanted to ask for a while but...

can we get /Tomestone refashioned as an idle pose?

I get not wanting to promote a constant use of phones, not branding any statements or seemingly so about lifestyle choices etc. But I don’t presume to think an
Emote on an mmo will have much affect or influence on the community in any negative sense. The general player base of this mmo or most games, know the difference in something generated for fun, versus a promotion of lifestyle choices which an emote , regardless of form, is not.

Continuing on,

I was wanting to use it for RP purposes (I.e. animated time passing pose, movie watching, adding to immersion, etc)
as it does offer some depth rather than standing idly, :D staring off in a direction, or sitting and :rolleyes: staring off in a direction, or fanning oneself and ;) staring in a rotated direction. Because there is a lot of idle standing, leaning, sitting paired with staring.
An idle version of the /Tomestone pose would reflect on the community in a positive and creative way, many would find uses to incorporate an idle version of such a fun feature.

Now I am aware People do this pretty regularly, exist while staring, but on a game that can offer a bit of depth to the average player who isn’t constantly interacting or socializing, which happens to be a sizable portion of the player base, it would be nice to enjoy such a feature.

Lastly, I Am happy to pay for the app and receive the current emote we have, but it is an incentive item. Much like impulse/incentive purchases, they usually should reflect the value of the services released upon purchase.
At 5 dollars a month you get an 8.6 second emote, a reoccurring retainer and use of extra Chocobo saddlebag space.
Cancel your subscription and you lose both features but keep the 8.6 second emote.

I feel that the emote should be retranslated to an idle pose to reflect the apps terms itself which is that it’s a constant and reoccurring app/fee, and all incentive items rendered should, in my opinion, offer that same function. An idle form of the /tomestone emote would be a fairer incentive given that players do already sub to this game at 12.99-15.00 a month along with retainers and in good faith, choose to add an extra 5 dollars to their monthly billing for all 3 items, including the apps general uses.
Once subbed, a player wouldn't just be getting the function of 2 reoccurring storage systems but also a reoccurring emote element in-game that does double as free promotion of the app but also as proof of goods in use.
I feel players would be much more incentivized to purchase and resubscribe at 5 dollars extra each month to use this app, if the emote pose reflected the functions of the other two offerings by making /Tomestone idle.

This is all my personal opinion, I am currently subbed to the app and have been since preorder, I just thought I’d finally mention a lingering question.
