He was, honest. I saw him down the shelter wearing a big overcoat as a disguise.

The bounding boxes are at the centre of a character... in combat stance.
As you stand at ease, you take a step back from that, you're at the rear of the box.
it's all about animations looking good, not about the boxes being right for the visual representation.
As emotes shouldn't affect where your character is, it doesnt... just affects where your character appears to be...

That said, from what I recall having heard about this dev point of view, I do agree with this suggestion.

If you have nothing useful to say, you have two choices: Say something useless or stay quiet.

I think I see the flaw in their logic.

The ';kneel' emote makes your character seem to be fully outside the boundary box, hence why the emote is great for hiding inside walls. your location doesn't change, just that you'r enot visible inside terrain.

Oddly, I don't see that as a big advantage.

Losing count of the number of times we've used that. Trust me.

I have no doubt. I just can't think of a good reason for it that involves anything reasonable.

What, like putting someone in a Cyro-stasis tank? Or someone going afk dissapearing into the loos?
Its been rather useful, tbh.

It's a situational but handy quirk. Not to everyone's need/taste, sure, but not useless either.

I said I couldn't think of anything, not that there was nothing. Though I do find that something called 'imagination' can make up for a great deal of not being able to stand inside cryo-tanks.
