In order to fix this... we would need to get rid of EVERY SINGLE EMOTE! And I am sorry but I am not willing to give those up just for the sake of making escape in PvP a little easier. No. Deal with it, and fight him off, don't run away like a little girl.

meh what is done is done, the game is ment to bring new content and features not take things out
Ah the number of times I've seen a barrage of; '*Insert name here* points you to something in front of them' upon attempting to escape.
I'm generally on the fence on the matter. I do think it's a little sad (and admittedly annoying for the receiver) to salute/point/ok someone through pure cq desperation, but at the same time it's their prerogative. It's not how those emotes are supposed to be used, but if they're that determined to catch me then I guess whatever works.
If you cant escape and evade because someone is completly standing still and doing a /point to point them in your general direction, you have some serious issues in the skill department when it comes to pvp. Escaping (with out hypejump even) is easy as ****, and always has been, even when you could /face and /follow a person.
