An /idle command

[MaikoRaines]

It was just a thought a few of my friends and I spoke about - but what if there was an /idle command where it would animate the character doing something based on their class.

For example: If you're a Bard and you use /idle it brings out its harp and plays on it randomly until you decide to move again.

For a Dragoon, random twirling of its lance.

For a Ninja, it sits on the ground and sharpens one of its many knives.

For a Monk, it poses in a few acrobatic forms or shadowboxes.

That's just an idea... I'd especially love to see an idle Bard throwing down a very light /idle ballad of some kind.

Seems like a good idea to me. Besides, more persistent emotes are always welcome in my book.

I love it, LOVE IT!

Oh, the /idle for Bard - I think it'd be a great idea if it played Edward's theme from his harp (sans Final Fantasy IV)

Every bard would be playing and you wouldn't be alto hear your own music very well.

A Summoner or Scholar interacting with their pet. One can dream.

This is a really great idea. I would love to see it implemented.

More class specific emotes and interesting idle actions would be wonderful!

Technically we already do have an idle pose (setting /changepose to random will regularly shuffle through random poses if you're idle). But more emotes/poses is still a good thing.

Machinist starts spinning their weapon like Revolver Ocelot or something.

I swear I've seen this post before, that said I'm always up for more idle animations. SE have done something similar with adding in class-specific bstance and victory pose emotes, but I would enjoy seeing some new ones being included into just the regular idling stance.
