Custom emotes tab for bots

[Cristian-Sknz]

Description

We all want to make our bots look beautiful, detailed and well made. Custom emotes help with this. This exclusivity of emotes for bots would actually be a tab for us to be able to add custom emotes for bots to use.
An easier way to use emotes without having to use any server for that.

<: discord: 727279609279676486> (it is very annoying to have to take this in every emote).

Why This is Needed

This is a little necessary for those who are new to creating bots, and to facilitate the work of developers who want to make their bots more beautiful for the client.

Alternatives Considered

I did not consider any other alternative.

As an alternative, I would consider having the bot create a guild (or creating one yourself and inviting the bot) and uploading emojis there

Just to mention there are drawbacks to doing that, such as the 100 server limit for users, bots can't create servers if they are in more than 10 servers and if you are planning to get verified for intents it can be seen as suspicious or inorganic growth since the bot will need to be in several servers owned by the same user to allow using those emotes. In which can become an issue if the bot needs emotes like cards for card games which uno and blackjack cards themselves take up 2 servers.

I would say this isn't something to be concerned about. It's expected that the bot will be in a one or two (maybe even three) servers owned by the bot's creator, as there can be legitimate purposes to doing so. It's only when the bot starts being in dozens of servers owned by the bot owner that it might become suspicious -- and even then, there may be legitimate reasons for that being the case. That's why there's the ability for Discord to do a manual review -- because a human can understand context far better than even an advanced AI can.

However, if you find yourself needing that many emoji, I would recommend finding another solution. For example, with Blackjack, you might consider using the ♠️ ♣️ ♥️ ♦️ emoji that Discord includes by default, plus a number next to it. So for a One of Hearts, you might put ♥️1. Alternatively, make the symbols and the card number separate emoji -- that would still be a decent amount of emoji (18 including Joker, by my count), but it would be far less than you needed before (and would be easier to update too).

@BannerBomb Yes, if you want to play a card game with your bot, and want to use emotes, you will have to create more than one server to use all emotes.

What I want with this emote scheme, is that you can make an API request, and return all available emotes to the bot. This would make using emotes much easier.
Having this form of <emote: id> to use emotes, makes messages very polluted, and you also can't remember that,
every time you have to get a reference to use the emotes.

I don't think that would be a good alternative, if I want to customize a blackjack with the theme of my bot

@Cristian-Sknz Well I would still suggest either limiting the amount of emoji you're using (I gave a couple examples of how you could do so), or boosting your bot's emote server to Level 1, as I don't think Discord will enjoy you using multiple servers to attempt to bypass the normal 50 emoji limit.

[Cristian-Sknz]

@LikeLakers2 I think they could make an exception for bots as they made it possible for bots to use custom emotes. And these bot emotes, only bots can use, a common member could only use them to react to some message.

@Cristian-Sknz I mean... you're using Discord's bandwidth. You're asking them to let you store your assets on their servers, and they're letting you, up to a point. Discord is paying for the bandwidth and storage your bot's emoji use, so the least you could do is be considerate and limit how much you're using -- or help cover some of the costs by purchasing boosts, which get you extra emoji slots as a bonus. I really don't think "It's only for bots to use" is a good reason to say otherwise.

[Cristian-Sknz]

@LikeLakers2 I don't see that that would be a big problem, I could create many other servers and exceed the limits of how many emotes I can use.

I agree that there must be a limit, but not as low as 50 emotes.
