I've read the posts and none of them really make a point about what's being argued. The question is, what makes Fame so special that it's the only current Arena where also earning an emote is possible? There's constant arguments about which title is superior; rather that being Gladiator, Champion or Hero. Each and every one of these titles all revolves around the same basic system, teamwork. It doesn't make a difference if it's 4v4, 6v6, or 8v8.
I'm sure that any serious Glads here would all agree that if you're going to make an emote system for Heroes, then there should be an emote system for every other Arena where players work just as hard or even harder to earn their titles. Why should you be forced to HA if you hate it? I guarantee that a rank four gladiator has spent more time earning his title than a rank six or rank seven hero. So what makes HA more superior and getting an emote at the third rank? Take for example, one of my guildies. He's worked on rank eight gladiator for around two years now and has about 1,000 Gladiator Points. Why should he possibly feel insuperior to somebody in a game that's able to display a rank three emote for bragging rights. Oh sure, he could say "Nice Emote, did I mention that I'm a Rank Seven Gladiator," but why should he have to? It probably takes a rank six hero four months to earn a title and emote however, a player that's been working on Gladiator for two years gets nothing?
Anybody can argue, "Oh, well RA is just too easy." Really? Well if it's so easy to get Gladiator Titles, why are there only 5-6 known Rank 7 Gladiators on US's entire server? Say what you want about RA and TA but none of it's easy. You could have four of the best players in the game on your team and still lose. It doesn't even matter what the build is, it's chance. However in HA, if you have six of the best players on your team you're probably going to be rank nine in no time. Remember [MATH] in their prime?
The whole point is that if everybody works equally as hard to earn their titles, then why doesn't everybody get their own specialized emote? A.net obviously allows Heroes to display their titles in game for bragging rights, so why can't Gladiators do the same? Especially in their own house, Random or Team Arenas?
Favoritism Rox! x_x
The Arena Shouldn't Matter...

If they made an emote rank system for the other arenas what and how would it be?
Gladiator should be every rank (or at least every other).
It would be interesting and awesome if anet looked into it and in fact made it a reality.
I would really like to see what anet's ideas would be for the emotes.
100% with Shoe

I totally agree with Shoe as well!!
Not only would emotes for TA ranks further increase interest in PvP aspects of the game, it would generate alot more revenue for Anet. Also i believe the addition of a mini team ranking system incorporated into TA would also create renewed interested in the game as many times people find themselves logged on with only a handfull of guildies or friends online at the same time, making the incentive of gaining glad rank, emotes for your title and some form of mini TA ladder a huge attraction to the MAJORITY of pvp players. Think about it Anet!! Trial it even!!!! It would be a HUGE success!

Check it out I earn my glad points with 10 freakin wins in a row! Each streak takes a fair amount of time usualy 30 minutes to an hour if u even get the glad point, We have to play against the most random players where there are no set group builds, where unseen unused skills come in to play, u have to know what it does aand how to react to it. If u asked a good player who has done Halls and Team or Random arenas, They will tell u gladpoint streaks take much more skill and time than Fame. There are no maps or side games or strategies to win, its 4 players against 4 players Last team standing wins! are u better than all other 4 man teams that come against u, can u beat all the different senarios with the group build u used with out running a relic to win! If u can do it 10 times in a row u get 1 glad point. Id say we have proven our selves worthy of Emotes rank 3 glads + have spent effort and time just as much or more than Fame farmers. Thank u for reading my thoughts on the gladiotor Emotes and giving your time considering our arguments.

Couldn't have said it better. HA has nothing over TA and GVG, gladiator and champion titles should have emotes.

So do it... Respond when you get it. Talk to you in August 08 with your Rank Seven Glad. Good luck.

Like I've said elsewhere, its not just that gladiator ranks are harder to get and of more merit.. its that anet can do this VERY EASILY
Gladiator emotes:
Rank 1 Red Deer
Rank 3 Red Wolf
Rank 5 Red Tiger
Rank 7 Red Phoenix
Champion Emotes
Rank 1 Black Deer
Rank 3 Black Wolf
Rank 5 Black Tiger
Rank 7 Black phoenix
Perhaps this is not what people want.. but it would be a way for anet to say "Okay gladiators get an emote now"
(scribble code, one day later)
/glad "oooo deer"
Gladiator emotes:
Rank 1 Red Deer
Rank 3 Red Wolf
Rank 5 Red Tiger
Rank 7 Red Phoenix
Champion Emotes
Rank 1 Black Deer
Rank 3 Black Wolf
Rank 5 Black Tiger
Rank 7 Black phoenix
