Hi,
I am betting this will be flamed to eternity for even suggesting something like this, but damn the consequences, I will suggest it anyway.
I suggest restricting the use of Rank emotes to HA only. The reason: they are not relevant ouside of HA. I see people using them to try to get into PVE groups, trying to control RA groups, and most annoyingly using them to support their theory that they are in some way better than everyone else who plays the game (bragging rights and causing player envy). The simple truth is however, those Rank emotes are irrelevant everywhere outside of HA.
I agree that using Rank emotes in HA has its advantages when forming a group, you can prove that you have been on successful teams and probably have an idea what you are doing in HoH. Therefore I am not suggesting removing them from the game, but just restricting them to HA. However, having a Rank emote does not mean you are a superior player compared to others in PVE or 4v4 TA and definitely not in RA. They are completely different strategy wise than the 8v8 format that is found in HA.
I see 2-solutions to this problem:
1) as I have already stated, restrict the Rank emotes to HA where they are relevant OR
2) invent a new Rank emote system to include Rank in PVE as well as 4v4 (TA and RA). In this way those who have enough experience can also show their emotes as well...and Rank would not be the sole property of HA players.
If I had understood correctly, a new Ranking emote system might happen in Factions and I am looking forward to it.

Rank Emotes Restricted to HA Only!!!

Winning matches in Heroes' Ascent has multiple rewards: fame/rank, sigils and rare items, fame (as in recognition), and getting to know players and guilds for later on in the game (GvG, more Heroes' Ascent, whatever). However, to say that rank should just be used for HA groups is, in my opinion, a little absurd, because that takes away much of it's purpose. Yes, it's meant to show experience/skill level for Heroes' Ascent groups, but it's also a reward for hard work and time spent. You could also say the inverse of this, and say that Fissure of Woe/15k armor or rare weapons/items shouldn't be allowed in PvP, since they're meant to show your experience/time spent/skill in PvE, but that just doesn't make much sense, now does it?
I do agree that rank doesn't mean much, especially outside of HA, but that's no reason to take away from those who have it.

hmm well yesterday I did Abbadon's mouth on my ranger..I was making a barrage group... at first I couldn't get any players, but after a few minutes of spamming my wolf, and endless replies ( "WTH is that", "Where can I buy that", ... ) people started believing me...
I got 3 barrage rangers, a nuker ( for the first part ), order necro, and 3 monks...2 of the monks sucked, because they ragequitted, and the last monk still healed us throught 75% of the mission ( we lost our order necro somewhere 80% I think )
Now the reason why I /not sign, is because you can't have any real PvE backup to prove you know what you're doing...FoW armour can be ebayed ( OK, so does ranked accounts ).
Anyway, it still astonishes me how many PvE players run scared, or come look at /rank ....

I see where your coming from skull but its just a bit Over the top, who cares if they flash an emote 
its sooo pretty :P

A jerk will be a jerk, regardless of whether or not they can flash an emote. I doubt this will solve the problem, but it would give elitest jerks one less tool to use.
But, I'm resistant to the idea. I'm sure that there's honest players that have worked hard for their rank emote (whatever it may be) and don't use it to win arguments. They shouldn't be punished because a few players are jerks and others are gulible.

This solution wont solve anything. who cares if someone in yaks bend or in presearing has an emote. big deal. only time they concern me is when im tryign to either form a HA grp or join one. other than that i ignore them, simple as that.
Adding a pve emote wont do any good either due to the fact that it will only encourage more leechers during missions because they want a cool emote and not have to work for it. aka the people that buy ranked accounts.

I can understand the OP intent and frustration. Being able to flash an emote anywhere can and has been used as a method of harassing other players. I've seen obnoxious players flash their emote in front of a lower lvl player and then publically ask for their emote, then run around town calling the other a noob if they don't flash an emote, or if they do and it is lower. I've even stayed in towns for several hours hoping that they will harass someone who DOES have and DOES flash a higher emote than their own.
Certainly it doesn't matter and many of us don't really care, but some people do get bothered by this and when it happens in a mission spot it can be even worse - even though most of us know that rank means NOTHING to pve.
Perhaps then if it were only disabled in mission spots? Or in towns and mission spots? Or only in towns?
That way we can still have our "bambi/wolf/kitty" spam when we own our AI enemies if we so desire, and not have the problem of less experienced pvp players being harassed in town.

I don't know if I'm right about this one, but I think Anet only gives the possibilty of gaining rank in HA, is cause they want that more ppl will go and play there.
Appart from getting into a ranked team, having an emote is like wearing a golden necklace. It's about the "bling bling".

new rank system is great idea. there are sure equal or even more RA than HA lovers, why only HA have "special" emotes that others cant do if they do not like HA reason or another.
and these are "pvp emotes" why do not experienced pve players cant have "pve emotes"?
ps Countless times i encountered rank emotes in PVE areas to find out that their understanding for even aggro ring is near absolute zero

I think 15k armor, FoW armor and rare skinned weapons should be not allowed in PvP because they have no use there..

lol now this is funny. ive played through pve without my emote but i just got mine about a week ago. i achieved mine by doing tons of balance spikes and vim trap. i gained only 10 fame doing iway. the majority was witha friend doin rank 6+ balance. one time we held halls 8 times ina row. but thats not the point. i am trying to say. i guess im trying to say that rank doesn't really mean much like u said but it certainly helps. after i had got that emote i tried some of the older missions again to see how it would do. the thing was i used my ranger to do those missions which is almost as hard to get as it is a mesmer but when i flashed my rank i got my group extremely easy. taking it out of pve is kind of pointless because if your like me once you get ur emote then in ha you can get groups for ha and more wins a lot easier. which means you don't play pve much nemore because it doesn't offer the challenge ha does. neways im gunna have to sign on the second part with adding a pve emote but not taking the emote out of the enire pve. one more thin ide like to add. the fow armour pretty much is like an emote. you flash it and they know you got money.
axe
I think the opposite, I think that Rank emotes should be able to be leveled up somehow and skills set to them so that your Rank Emotes could do battle in towns. I think that would be cool to watch. Someones Rank Tiger Battling someone elses Rank deer, they would have skills and things and it wouldnt be just about who had more Fame.

I earned my rank. I'll be damned if you take it away, which is exactly what you'll be doing if you restrict it to just HA.

i yust wanna turn it off after seeing bambi for the 100th time it gets annoying

I'd rather see the opposite. Have it taken away from HA instead of the rest of the game.

This is an interesting thread that i have to put a couple of cents in the slot. lol Hopefully there is something coming out of it. 
Don't take me wrong. I love "bling bling", and i am sure some players have worked hard for their ranks, emotes, armor and items that they deserve to have them, but there are some people who doesn't deserve to have emotes especially.
If emotes are like "bling bling", then they can be bought very easily like any other items in this game. rank can be bought. That means emotes can be bought also. what is new in this game?
When you have fow armor or rarest weapons at your disposal, you can't use them to attract people to join your group like emotes/ranks for your own advantages. i have not seen anyone that stuck fow armor or cool weapons in my face like emotes. I don't see any thing wrong with fow armor or any kinds of weapons using in HA.
It's a shame to see some pvp players do not have a clue what to do in the pve world and use emotes or ranks to gain pve players' interests in joining his or her group. And people wonder why some people left in the middle of missions.
There should be some sorts of emote regulations using outside of HA. Anet should strip their emotes or ranks for misuses.

However, I'm sure even hiding emote will get objections - why bother showing off your emote if others can choose not to see it
Same goes for FOW armor, why bother spending so much time to get it if others can choose not to see it

really if someone think a ranked guy is a good pve player(and most of them are) is up to him.
if one of ranked guy manage to enter in your grp and you dont like him there is leave button
if one of ranked guy get a last spot on a team instead of you it was team leader choice.
fair imo

Get rid of rank altogether.
I cant ever get into a group at HA because i dont have a rank, its impossible to raise it at all.
I understand the builds, i get how it all works, and im probably better than half the idiots who are using it but i cant get a group. Seems unfair to me. nuke the rank system

If you don't like it that some one is showing off those emotes just move along. I guess I don't see this as an issue for the devs to worry about.

If you are good in PvP then go with them I'm sure they are like you, knows the builds but don't have played any of them before.
Is it responsibility to highly ranked players that have their friends and own groups to play with new players - no.
You will get your rank like we all did. Just play and win. You can't say theres no groups forming...Better yet make a guild group.
For the topic: I have seen maybe Two groups in PvE that requested rank/FoW armour so it's pretty seldom. It is very tiny minority that act like that...
So let's not strip away everything and fight with our teeth

It's really bad made by ANet, they should've seen it coming and done something about it.
High ranked players aren't better than others, heck I've done lots of GvG which is harder, and I'm still at low fame.

all emotes (regardless, the need to acquire or given) were meant to be for fun/decorative.
if some feel the need to use it for "other specific purposes", let them and move on.
IMO: no big issue, rank emotes being visible to everyone and everywhere is fine.

I think there is no need for a solution as for there is no problem for it currently. HA isn't the only area that ranks are useful, TA is another useful place. Even though the gameplay is different, that does not mean you are not experienced in PvP. Now if you only have a deer, than maybe.
As far as PvE people being jelous and angered about PvP people coming into their little PvE worlds and emoting in their face, I think they should shut up and get over it. You worked for all your perfect weapons and armor thats died black to show off doing countless 2man UW or 5man FoW runs, or solo'ing either, so why can't we have our opportunity to show off as well.
As far as PvP assholes coming in thinking they are better than everyone just because PvP does take more skill than PvE, is rediculous as well and I do not codone that. If this has pushed PvE people to making threads like this then I appologize for the countless assholes that we have in PvP, especially HA.
BTW, I worked very hard for my Warrior and Monk FoW armor and all my perfect and near perfect chaos axes, eternal shields, staves and HoD sword...are you telling me since those are obtained through PvP I can't bring them into HA? I think honestly you just need to blow the PvP'ers off and just concentrate on PvE and not worry about what PvP people do or say if it really bothers you this much. Change districts do something to get away from it if it really bothers you.
------
Here is another view, if you were interested. Have you ever known how hard it is in PvP, especially HA when you know absolutely no one in PvP(HA) scene and you are unranked and have to pug with unranked newbs to get r3? Do you know how hard it is not having a good guild that can win consecutives and win or hold halls a few times and restort, guess what more crappy pugs(yes crappy r3 pugs). I don't think you really appreciate PvP or respect it even, maybe due to the assholes that emote in your face at ToA. But put yourself in our shoes.

Actually the Rank emote differs from the other emotes in that only certain people have them. /dance and /guitar are not relevant because everyone can use them.
/rank is ONLY relevant in HA and IMO SHOULD only be relevant in HA and that is why I started this argument.
/flute doensn't help you get into a PVE group. But for some reason flashing your /rank does. Some people are confused into believing that having a Rank emote somehow makes the owner of the emote an uber player in all aspects of the game...which is of course complete nonsense.
I have read a few of the comments here about how players were able to get in PVE PUGs easier when they flashed their rank. Is that fair to others who don't have rank?
I think everyone has also seen cases where the holders of Rank intentionally provoke ppl, start arguments and act like jackasses just because they have a rank emote. Wouldn't it be great if this nonsense was limited to just HA? Then a person with a higher Rank could flash his rank and get the idiot to shut up.
To those of you who have earned your Rank honestly, I don't see how restricting Rank emotes to HA would affect you in anyway. You can still dazzle the newbies in HA with your deer emote.
Why is it so essential for you to have the ability to flash your emote in PVE areas? Why do you do it? Why is a similar system of PVE Rank so intimidating for some of you?
I orginally suggested 2-solutions to this problem:
1) Restrict the use of Rank emotes to HA
2) Implement a system of Rank for PVE and other PVP arenas as well
I now have a new suggestion:
3) Outiside of HA, everyone has the Rank emote available. /bear, /deer,...etc. In this way you negate the meaning of Rank in PVE areas...and make it really irrelevat...which is exactly what it is in PVE.

Out of the 3 main arguements you present, only 1 is viable: Rank is for HA(PvP). Inequality of getting in groups because a ranked person joined the group you wanted in, guess what get over it and make your own. IT happens in HA all the time of a rank8 guy getting into the group over a rank6 or 7 guy. As far as assholes go, I was thinking this might be viable but it isnt, just ignore them or change districts. There are reasons why Anet implemented the party transfer function in the game.
As far as Rank being for HA(PvP), you got us there. But enforcing the restriction of rank to just HA is rediculous. That's like getting Fissure of Woe armor, and not being able to use it unless you go back to FoW. Would that be fair?
As far as emotes in PvE, I don't think they are necesary. I think implementing possible, some kind of XP accumulative ping would be nice (like how you ping your level in team chat). For now go off the honor system, HA people have to do it as well and although many abuse it many still honor it. For example, rank6 people advertising "rank 8 newbie lf r8/9+ iway". We deal with the same crap if not more than you PvE people deal with. And I'm sure if you had to go through the same crap that me and the rest of the rank 6/9+ people here in this thread and the community had to go through, than I'm sure you would be in opposition of your stance.

=HT=Ingram
they aren't relevant at all you mook... any jerk face can get a level 6 rank emote by buying one from a waste of flesh rank broker. and the fact that it has become so easy to do makes it all the more irrelevant. The fact that you silly mooks still require rank whatever to play in HA is just a joke to me. eventually you will be so bored playing with yourselves in the same old builds that have been around since almost inception that you will just leave the game. Because god forbid you play the other 80% of the game at some point...
How about this. lets just rid ourselves of the rank emotes entirely. or better yet. every chapter require a rank reset. that alone will drive thousands of you mindless people out of the game in droves. Opening the area up to all players once again. without the Rankest attitudes.
Remember when you could just grab a PUG and play a few hours and have a few celestial sigals for your efforts? I do. A fond and pleasant memory... One that is now a "distant" memory. It has not been like this since well before the Heroes Ascent map change from Tombs.
Started off being R3 required. OK not too hard to achieve... fine.. now its R6 required. soon if something is not done R9 will be required. Thus locking out ANYONE that just buys the game NOW out of Heroes Ascent forever. because you can not get rank unless you play and you cant play with a decent group unless you have rank... thus LOCKOUT.
This is vastly approaching paradox. Something, Anything, has to be done soon. either CAPPING rank at some point, or reset, or removing emotes, something... Otherwise HA will very quickly become a dredge of rankest attitude as the chapters roll by, that will never allow a new player access to their area.

I have seen it many times, and it is very evident when one joins your party and it is very frustrating. I believe most of them only have r3 accounts, and only a handful have r6-r9 accounts, thank god. As far as winning halls and getting your daily sigil back in the day, I wouldnt know. I have only HA'ed since the day that Tombs moved/changed to HA, which was roughyl 2 months. I guess my question is why are you so frustrated that people require rank? Do you want rank 6-9 people playing with unranked groups? I mean come on, they earned the emote(most of them) so they deserve to flash it and play in the same ranked groups as them.

If they don't give us a PvE Emote in PvE, why would a PvP Emote work in PvE? I like the idea of gaining Fame with completing a quest, mission or the game.
