The easiest way for me to explain this would be through the ways of Sims 3. If youve ever played the Sims 3 you'd know the loading times for the game are long and seemingly for no reason. The loading times are caused by the addition of create a style introduced to that installation.

Adding more emotes is like adding create a style. Every additional user who joins chat will need to load up every single emote that is possible for this wiki. And then they will need to render the emoticons every time that they are used. On that note, additional emoticons often leads to an increasebin spam.
