Events are just tricky in general because there tends to be SO MUCH CHAT going on that it's ridiculously easy to miss emotes you're not expecting to happen (such as someone you're not actively RPing with emoting at you-- you don't know to watch for that person's name to include a message specific to you so you overlook it while searching for the names of the people who ARE RPing with you already.)Â
I've had the same issue as you a lot in those situations. Like others have said though, sending a /tell is a really good idea in those cases, whether it be to ask if they'd welcome you into the RP or to ask if they saw the emote you had sent their way.Â
In the group I generally run with, we usually always make a concerted effort to include other RPers who are around. For example, if we're RPing in a tavern and someone else comes in -- particularly if they're alone-- and they come up to the bar beside us, we'll usually have our characters acknowledge the arrival via a nod, a smile or nod or bump into them or -something- just to try to indicate that we're happy to include them in whatever we're doing. But not all groups will make that effort (that or they might be engaged in an RP that is just not suitable for others to join atm.)
Any who, if you ever see me around in game, be it on the streets or at an event, feel free to give me a /tell or walk on up to RP, even if I'm with a group. I'm always game to meet new people. \o/
