Hopefully if we flood em with enough feedback we'll get their attention. I'd like to see em get rid of those scratching animations.

I so agree Red. I really don't know why they had to add that feature, I guess they thought it was funny, but it is as you said "annoying".

Yes, we all do scratch in RL but NOT to the extremes of what it is in the game. I also do NOT scratch my bum thank you very much

i love the scratching... its hilarious.. unless its me thats doing it 
It's funny at first, but in my opinion when we don't move for a while we shud just automatically flip coin.

Or you should be able to set a emote to do after a while like dance flip a coin etc.

Will brings up an excellent point - there were plenty of existing idle animations - /coin /bored /yawn /tap that could have been used much more easily.
Why instead, were offensive animations added?

i dont think these are offensive in my eyes but i'm tired of being in crew chat and my character looking like they are getting spoken to in a language they dont understand the entire time unless i'm flipping a coin lol

hmmm maybe for business?, thinking it would attract more basic players to keep playing? there for better chance to get more unlimited access members?, I really see no other point than for business, whatever the reasons were. Which there is nothing wrong wanting to do better business, but I don't think a lot of people like that!

I guess we have to be thankful that it has limited scratching animation lol

yall are on the right track.. but think of this outside the game...Pirates of old had very poor hygiene practices...so that being said, i find it humorous.. and funny all the time..gut i am in the minority.

I find the scratcing to be annoying.. would not be bad if it was occasional, but when you stand still it's crazy... and yes molly.. I do believe the scratchin would indicate we've all been on the ships to long and picked us up a few crittter friends who like to lurk in all the areas we've been scratching.. ewwwww...

(anyone doesnt know what that means i will explain later, lol)
