Breakfast Topic: Emoting
It's those little things that make Azeroth a fun place to be -- and these days, it seems no MMO can get away without a /dance emote. The list of emotes you can perform ingame is quite long (hit the "Read" link for the official rundown), and you can even create your own using /me -- although opposing factions will only see indecipherable gestures if you use anything but pre-approved commands.
What's your favourite in-game emote? If you could add your own to the pre-approved list, what would it be?
If I'm questing in a contested zone and I really don't want to be bothered, I tend to fire off a macro at approaching Alliance players -- /hug, /kiss, /bow -- which is supposed to tell them that I'm feeling peaceful and want to make my offerings to the Earthmother rather than kill Alliance. Unfortunately, I end up getting ganked anyway, but c'est la vie. A more specific emote might help -- "Player is deeply absorbed in her given task and does not feel that today is a day for war" -- but people would likely gank me out of spite. I don't mind ganking, but there are some days when you only have an hour to play and you really want to get all those bear livers!
