While the Emotes should cost IP ...

It's completely optional. I mean, I agree 100% that they should be sold for IP / Blue Essence but, they're not mandatory. I even paid some cash for two emotes I really wanted (Grumpy and Clean ). Since I play a lot of Poppy, I wanted that emote and I want to use the Fiora one to show my appreciation of a good gank / play without having to type it.

Why did I make this thread? Because I understand the irritation people are going through, and I don't want them to stop complaining about the prices ... just wanted to remind people that these are optional and have no impact on your game (besides BMing people >_>)
