I've noticed, especially during Arch botting but also often during quest botting, that people will /wave /nod or occasionally /salute me.
Honestly, while maybe some are really being social, I think it is often a test to see if I'm AFK botting or really playing. Especially on the Archaeology bits since soooo many arch'ers are obviously not really there.
Is there a plugin that will auto-wave back? Naturally I wouldn't want it to do more than 1 reply per player per X minutes (since otherwise 2 botters could loop each other ... and people could easily then use that as a test as well if they found out about the plugin). It would be interesting to have it sometimes auto-wave back to a wave but randomly also occasionally use a different emote just to keep things more random.
I monitor nearly 100% of the time, so I usually just "/tar [name]; /wave" by hand. This would just save me that need.
If such a plugin doesn't exist ... I'm a total newb at coding for the bot ... but I'd be willing to try my hand at it and would appreciate a pointer to the best quickstart on creating a basic plugin that responded like this.
A similar plugin ... possibly even the same one ... might even automatically say some basic phrases in various channels (vicinity, /tells to pre-planned friends when they log in who are aware of the circumstances, maybe even to /guild, etc) once every long while to make it easier to look like we're chatting like normal humans. While I really DO play nearly completely silently for hours ... as a botter I now actually make more of a point to chat a bit to seem more normal.
