I'll help you get a clearer view of what I meant.
*Ender waves at Joe when he approaches*. A pretty
common emote.
*Ender waves at the tall, dark-haired, fourfingered
male human who wears green smelly pants, a purple
shirt wich is missing one sleeve, a copper bracelet,
six different bronze rings with quartz, greenstone,
obsidian, jade, pearl and coal set in them, a brown
moth eaten coat covered in old beanstew stains, a tall
black hat pincushioned with several arrows and bolts,
a scarf wich really looks more like a collection of old
ropes and two mismatched boots where one is blue and pink
and the other is orange and red and both happens to be
lefties*. This being an extract from Joe's description which
can be read through right clicking on Joe.
This emote contains "Unnecessary descriptive text" of more
than one kind.
Usually I do not need to explain what Unnecessary means, but
I guess there is always an exception to the rule.

"Unnecessary descriptive text"?
Hello, Roleplaying?
It's not all just running around, crafting and killing stuff, y'know. It's not even just putting words in the mouth of your character... It's giving that character life, and breath, and improving your own skill at describing this, that, and the other.
Different people have different styles of RPing; this is a given. We're not trying to tell you that using someone's name in an emote is a horrible thing, just that actually saying it (both cases assuming your character doesn't know the other's name) can be.
