The game has been giving broadcast messages for quite some time now, either players getting drops or achieving very hard tasks/milestones.

I myself find it very rewarding and also other players that get a really rare drops they've been grinding for hours/days/weeks/months/years. But I feel it gets unnoticed and I'm sure a lot agree on this.

For players who do get the drop, I want to add them and tell them congrats on getting the item because it's quite the feat! Unfortunately, some leave their online status to either friends or turn it off completely so players are unable to deliver that message.

That's where Emojis come in! I think it would be cool if you were able to right click the player's "News:" and be able to give one of around 6 emojis that will appear on the right side of their achievement (Without showing the player's names of course). This shows the player that many acknowledge this individual's achievement in a very indirect manner. Also a great way for the community to get involved with each other! (Something like what Discord has with Emoji's and add counters to how many people selected that Emoji)

Also, it would be nice to have a toggle switch to 'hide' those emojis as well so it doesn't clutter the chat box for some players who find it annoying.

Thoughts?

If they want to be left alone, don't bother them with emoji's because I'm sure they wouldn't want that either. Kings Eastwood in

It gets broadcast throughout the whole server anyways in all chat regardless of online/offline status....... They don't get the emoji's in private because it's broadcast to the whole server so everyone will see it. The emoji's number will only add up because more people are acknowledging the broadcast instead of casting it aside, again, if the player chooses to contribute.

And like I previously mentioned, there will be a toggle switch to hide the emojis so it doesn't clutter. That way, they get to hide it themselves. I guess someone didn't read that far before writing their opinion.
