One thing I've noticed is that if:
1) You're trying to strike up random RP with a group has like 4-6 people or more in it all talking together.
2) You're in an already crowded place full of people RPing like the Quicksand.
3) You can't seem to get anyone to even respond to what you're doing or acknowledge you even exist.
I'm willing to bet money that the group literally didn't even see your emotes/posts. I've been to big tavern events where everything is so crowded and the chat is scrolling so fast that I'm left frantically scanning the chat log for names of people I know my character is speaking to so I don't miss things in the conversation.
This unfortunately makes it way too easy to miss if someone's emoting at me because I'm too busy looking for the names of people my character is talking to.
My advice is if you've emoted at someone a couple of times and they're in a group, chatting in a crowded place, and get no response - just poke one of them with a friendly tell: ((Hey there, do you mind if my character joins in somehow? Or is this private RP?))
USUALLY people will say yes, and then they'll be able to scan for your name too as well as the names of people they've already been conversing with.
If they say no - then you can silently judge them for having private RP in the middle of a public, open area instead of meeting up at an FC house or a more a place more secluded. ( Because in my mind, it's just common sense to not RP in a giant public hub full of RPers if you don't want to get approached by other RPers. )
