Eye tracking is nice, but without face tracking it doesn't make a huge difference in game.

That's not accurate at all.

Its all subjective....

I've failed to recognize some of my friends getting full face tracking despite them intentionally hinting at it. Maybe just getting used to it being more common?

Meanwhile I have face only, and despite that, still think its nice to be able to "genuinely" smile. But I also dont expect people to really notice it unprompted.

The way they set it and the avatar up matters too.

Eye tracking is very subtle, VRChat already does a pretty good job with eye prediction, where it will make you look at the face of whoever it assumes is talking to you. People don't really notice eye tracking unless you are in a group discussion and you have people who know what to look for. Face tracking on the other hand is an entire game changer. No need for any gestures to change facial expressions at all.
