GG, not.

If a person that says 'glhf' says something bad at the end or blames the game I do not hold poor opinion of them, unless I play them again and they do the same thing. Sometimes we all get frustrated at the game and might vent some rage in a silly manner at an opponent, even though it is not their fault. I understand this and brush it off.
If a person that does not say 'glhf', says nothing during game then explodes into rage in the last minute I regard them as an idiot and a rage quitter. Typically these players leave the game without saying 'gg', unless they win the game. I tend to just send these kind of people smiley faces when they behave like this but now I am beginning to strike back (which is bad) but I am sort of fed up with this behaviour. Hopefully if chat is reintroduced back into replays people might think twice.
You would also be surrprised how many players don't actually say 'glhf' yet will still say 'gg' at the end of the game, whether it is win or loss. Not all hope is lost
As for saying the winner saying 'gg' before the loser I must admit I do this, but not in offensive manner and only if there is like 5 VP's and I know 100% the game will time out then I will say it. Do people actually take offense to this? I notice the majority of time my opponents still say 'gg' in return so I have always assumed people accept it. Likewise, if my opponent is winning like in this situation and says 'gg' I return the gesture.

It's four extra key presses at the beginning of the game and another four at the end, and it makes it so you're playing vs a real person and not an anonymous enemy. It's not like it makes any difference in my day whether you guys do it or not, but I'm always going to advocate treating people like they're human beings.
Man, I am not disagreeing with you at all. But do you go out? People are becoming self-centered rude pigs with no social etiquette period.
I daily see people holding line while buying/ordering from shops because they are to busy talking/messaging/playing video games on their mobile phone.
Please, hi, thank you, giving way, or general consideration of other people is disappearing.
What hope is there for social etiquette on internet and in-games..
Entire world is becoming self-centered, inconsiderate bunch of YOLO and IDC sufferers of digital dementia and retardation...

Yup and that's why for me it is important to NOT be that way in every encounter I have, whether it is with my opponent in CoH or a stranger in the grocery store.

yesterday we had something like that in a 2vs2. After both spam ass gren and say gg around min 4-5 we had a comeback. Was so nice! Really love it. It is really bad manner but in a way I like it. Is so sweet if you comeback.
Personally only say gg, when I loose or the looser said it first. But sometimes i simply forget to say gl/hf because I’m talking with my mate about something else on skype :-(.

There's no point in saying "GG," a sign of respect and sportsmanship, then topping it off with the kind of insults 10 year olds use.

Because if I would turn the situation upside down, when I'm losing, I don't always necessarily think that the game was really that good. I made some mistakes, maybe played bad etc. If I played my A-game but the opponent was simply better, then I may say it.
I don't see that there's anything rude. I prefer silence over some unnecessary chatting. Meaning also that if my opponent plays with some really annoying strategy, I don't complain about it in-game. Only when opponent starts shouting something to me or my mate, then I will for sure start talking back.

1) A lot of players actually have no clue what GG stands for. They're just lemmings doing what everyone else is. Same as with LOL.
2) Quite a few players you match up against do not speak English. They may for that reason just type GG as sort of a 'hello' or 'goodbye'.
So there are actually reasons not to feel offended if the winning player throws a GG. Especially not if it's the only communication you had since GL HF.
I'm more concerned by the lack of communication tbh. I feel it has dropped a lot compared to COH1, and I partly blame the missing lobby for it.
The lobby was the cave of the pocket-nazis, I know, but it was also a place to get to know strangers a bit before you killed them on the battlefield.
I had a handfull good contacts build like that. I think it does add to a good gaming comunity.

FU!
GG is the way to bow out and concede in a gentleman fashion.
Its basically like knocking over your own King in chess.
Please, dont abuse it.
Even if you proceed to win after stating GG, youve already lost, and the win goes to your opponent.

that's the lamest of things in my book.
saying gg to me relates to surrendering

I don't really see how that is insulting to the loser. Either typing GG first @ the end is acceptable for me.

I swear some of you must spend a majority of your time behind the computer.
I personally LOVE when someone rages at me in game especially when I'm winning, it means I'm obviously doing something right. I also couldn't give a rats ass if someone talks to me or not in game, just play the friggin game!

Permanently BannedI always say GG when I am wining, for me its a compliment to my opponent and thanx for the game @ the same time.

Youve misunderstood the netiquette...
If you say GG when you are winning, and not about to concede, its basicaly like telling your opponent "Ive won, fuck off already".
Its completely the opposite of what youve understood.
Its a way for the loser to compliment the winner and to backout of the game as a gentleman, without simply pulling the plug or quitting the match.
GG basically amounts to saying: "I am about to concede, because I can see you outplayed me. I am conceeding but wanted to thank you for the match and for the experience, before I do so".
NEVER say GG before your opponent does, unless you are about to concede. If he does, return the gesture, and it is then time for the opponent to concede, if there is no other ingame chat/discussion to be had.
This is the gentleman way.
In tennis, its the same as walking up to the net and offering your hand for a shake.
In chess, its like turning over your own King.
So you understand, its completely against the purpose, for the winner to do so first.
