Game generated list of Emotes?

Is there a way to get the game to generate a complete and up to date list of emote commands?

I'm aware that there are various lists floating around the internet, for example...

1) the woefully inadequate and incomplete official list at http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/game_i...mote_guide.php

2) the excellent player updated and maintained list at ParagonWiki http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Emotes

However, it would really be nice for the game to generate an accurate list for us, much like it does for slash commands using the /cmdlist command. In a way, it's kind of crazy that the game doesn't have the ability to generate such a list of emotes for players, assuming we want players to use them, and that players are required to go outside of the game to aquire this rather important information for gameplay.

Anyway, if there is currently no way to generate an emote list, I'd like to request that the devs develop a method for us.

Thanks.

One consideration is whether that game-generated list would be a complete list of all possible emotes that exist, or just the ones that each character or account has access to. There are also alternate emote commands for the same action.

Of course, you could just look at the fly-out lists linked on the chat bar. It seems to be fairly accurate and has unavailable ones grayed out.

Nope.

In game, I believe they have kept the QuickChat (aka PopMenu) up to date with all the emotes.

Naw, we'd want a complete list of all possible emote commands that exist. Make it simple. Anything less invites error.

Whether it's easy for players to use is not as important as whether they have access to the the information to use at all. Besides, availablility can always be qualified and/or annotated.

The the fly-out lists linked on the chat bar are not complete. The "sitchair" emotes, for just one example, are missing. Besides, you need the emote command name to use it in binds and macros...

Hey, I have another question... is this emote list question better submitted in a different section of the COH forum so devs will read it?

Actually, a complete list could also invite problems, as there are many emotes that aren't freely available. That would lead to people complaining that xxx emote doesn't work.

All three SitChair emotes are in there (Interact->Environment) as well as the other sit commands.
