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!
