At times, in dungeons and in towns, a simple LOL emote can be done instead of typing it out (some prefer to type, others emote). Same way the 'Yes' and 'No Way' emotes are there for that reason, to prevent typing. This is from an iPad UI perspective, btw.
The current emote pop-out menu is located here:

The top four are very difficult to use when in a dungeon, my right hand has to cross my left hand holding down the joystick just to use an emote and continue moving. If I want to use my right hand to press the emote icon (upper right of screen below mini map), then use my left hand to press the emote (left side of screen overlapping virtual joystick), I'd have to stop moving for a second or two. This could be a costly death in PvE.
Even when in town, the virtual joystick already overlaps the 'Party' emote, so it doesn't apply to dungeons only.
I'd like to suggest to either move the emote menu down (see the space between the chatbox and the emote menu?)
OR
Move the emote menu to the upper right of the screen, like this: (Pardon amateur paint skills, gets the point across!)

In relation to the emote-menu, the Joystick users (iPad) experience the same problem. More info on this here :

I like it being on the upper right since it allows only one hand to be able to do a successful emote. Convenient in PvE and in town.
