I don't quite see how this breaks the language barrier we want to have, but I DO think that it could be inappropriate for RP reasons. For example, say I'm a level 2 newbie playing a small character and you're an old level 50 player playing a giant ogre. Seems pretty silly if I can "loom over you" just like that.

For comparison, Achaea has an emote called "staredown" (one of the few two-word emotes they have), which shows different messages depending on the relative level difference between the two players involved.

Here is how it breaks the language barrier:

1.Yes, there is a gesture that can be performed, but:
2.EVERYONE??? That is literally impossible, unless, of course, the creator meant Everyone *in the room*.
3.As you said, it is an RP-breaker.

Thanks!

"Language barrier" means "a speaker of a foreign language would not understand this soul because it contains spoken language." This soul does not, therefore that particular reason doesn't apply.

This soul could certainly be implemented as a variable-effectiveness soul, similar to the way 'flex' was done, and doesn't present much of a linguistic obstacle.
