Why?
Because I like movement emotes, but I'm lazy. If I have to change direction, I stop using them, especially if I don't feel like copy and pasting.
I like this. Better than having automated by the MUD client.. if one person does it, it looks awkward. If everyone does it, it looks like a part of the world.
That said, it seems like a rather low priority thing.
I'd rathern not have this, so as to avoid fostering laziness in one's roleplay.
When using movement emotes I try to mix it up as much as possible.
If I'm traveling down a road, for instance, I won't hit "up" on my keyboard to repeat the same movement previously entered. Rather, I mix things up by emoting about different ways my character interacts with the world as they travel.
