[Request] A simple Plugin to randomly /Emote with passerbys who targets you

[grime]

was thinking this is simply good when you're under Farming mode especially* which I think it might fairly dismiss people who're thinking you're just a bot who just farms this place.

Could be good to set up an option to

1. Choose emotes, random emote (e.g /wave , /greet , /beg , /ponder , /bow , /cower )
2. Only use the emotes when someone
- targets you
- just being around the area for more than XX of minutes
- /say something which is detectable within a certain XX range from you(optional though, since it's kinda funny lol..)

Not sure if this request is dumb, but i think it's kinda cool?

I started a plugin for this at least twice, but kept getting pulled into other things. I've given up at this point until the other things settle down.

The problem with the idea is you need to be very careful which emotes you select, and whether to use the targeted or non-targeted version of them. For instance, it may be okay to randomly un-targeted /cackle, or /love a squirrel.

But, it would be inviting trouble to target a PC and /wave (although an NPC may be okay). And, similarly bad to /flirt with the Innkeeper every 5mins or each time you enter town.

As a botter, you just want to look like a disturbed human running about, or otherwise discourage others from interacting with you. You don't want to do things that solicit others to interact with you. So, writing a proper plugin for this takes a little thought and care.

just my $0.02,
