Was I in the wrong?

Its just culture really. In WoW, me and friends used to do the same thing. Find rando, emote at him non stop while following him, get a huge train going with more randos cuz being part of a thing is fun, good times and laughs for all. You don't go for someone specific over and over cuz then that's harassment. Some things people just read too much into and try to put a meaning or intent that was never there.

Don't expect for it to be okay in this mmo, because it's harassment. Also spamming emotes with player's chat window filling up over and over with the same expressed action is disruptive to other's game play and can be reported as such. Thank goodness mobs are hard to train here because they loose aggro range very quickly. I hope you check that sort of behavior and think twice before attempting the same in this game.
