@Loney : The users aren't complaining so much about the inconvenience of the change as they are about the fact that the new emoticons will basically become default in chat. I think that some of the users here feel that we're basically taking the side of the new emotes over the old ones, even though the new emotes are not as popular with the community, and that's primarily what they're unhappy about.
