Personally, I say hello at the start of every game, and say well played at the end of every game. I think it's good manners and is a show of good sportsmanship and a gratitude for friendly competition.
The problem, methinks, is the attitude of the spoiled younger generation of today, (I'm 35, and I do know there's people my age with the same shitty attitude, but I usually suspect they are younger). People looking at the game as a way to exert power or dominance, or thinking that their opponent is their enemy in some way. But mostly, I think it spawns from the salt borne of the large amount of losses all players experience in a game like this.
When we lose, we get salty (well I do anyways), I sit here shouting at the screen "Such a lucky piece of sh*t" and suchlikes, as if in some way it reflects on my opponents character if he drew well or RnG went their way. But it's gone after a second and I don't carry it into the next game. Which I'll start with a greeting and end with a well played.
But that's me, I think there's a large portion of the community that can't let go of that feeling and go into a match already full of disdain for their opponent. They relish the thought of the other guy being salty, as if in some way it's a universal justification or them having felt that way before. So, if things are going their way, they spam emotes and try to soak up as much of the feeling of 'being better' as they can before it's gone again.
This is why, I squelch my opponent the moment they emote something that seems unsporting, cos it does affect how I'm thinking. But it's a pity, because I do enjoy the basic dialogue you can have with an opponent. Wowing at RnG and Whoopsing at misplays. But that's the way it is, there'll always be people who are unsatisfied with how much the world hands them, and utilize whatever medium they have at their disposal to portray their bitterness.
For sure, Hearthstone can be a frustrating game at the best f times, but it is a game after all, should be enjoyment. I truly pity those who can't experience it that way.
Aaaaanyways, I think that a "Well Played" should be given by both players at the end of every match. No matter how it went (unless of course there was purposeful BM throughout). Doesn't matter if your opponent misplayed horribly and you trashed them, it's the only way to say GG in Hearthstone (which I do think they should rectify, as Well Played can also be used to congratulate a good play ofc).
One thing I have noted, whenever I play on the American servers ( European main) is that, for the most part, when I say "Well Played" at the end of a game that I've lost, my opponent responds with a "Thank you", which kinda gets under my skin, but it's just a difference in cultural communication I'm sure.
Rant Over :-p

Since it seems like there is so much confusion and disagreement and some folks getting butt hurt over whether or not emoting another player during a card game for children is or is not bad manners, maybe Blizzard should just get rid of emotes all together.
Seriously, I only care about those close to me and potential friends (even if they are homeless people). I don't give a shit about the rest of the world, especially while playing an online card game. Your way of thinking really doesn't make any sense to me...
As Cersei said to Joffrey once...
;)
Of course, spamming emotes is hilarious, so why should I deprive myself of such fun?

How about no?
That would make this game a lot less fun for people like me, dude. Why Blizzard should listen to the crybabies?
Winning: wait and say gg ONLY after opponents says gg first, otherwise it can be viewed as bm.
This is the right thing to do. Never say "Well played" first if you won the game.
True MB, though, is when a winning player says "Greetings" before he does the final blow.
I think that emoting during your opponents turn is always BM. So, I squelch guys that try to distract me during my turn.
The best way to be polite in this game is to never use any emotes at all :-) BUT! You don't always want to be polite in this game, so ALWAYS BM Big Priest in Wild with "Greetings" before lethal.
Back when I still played Yu-Gi-Oh I was at a tourney to qualify for regionals. One of my later opponents was this 20 or 30 something year old guy (I was a teen at the time) who I ended up beating with an affordable burn deck. Unlike all of my other opponents, who engaged in the standard handshake with "Game game", this guy did not shake my hand or say "Good game". In fact, this guy was so tilted he told me "It was not a good game." and walked away.
I view most HS players as that guy just because they have this perception that is so disconnected from the rest of 'courtesy behavior' found in most other card game scenes as evidenced by the near constant assumption that giving a "Well played" means you are BMing, even when done in the correct situations during a normal game.
Sometimes a "Well played" is just a "Well played".
Well played at the end of the game should never be considered BM on its own. Even if you win it's fine. If I had a game I enjoyed that was maybe back and forth or i just feel like I or my opponent made some really smart plays, win or lose, I say well played. it's just good sportsmanship. It can be BM if you spam it or hover cards or something but that is the exception.
If people truly want to BM you, it won't be well played. I'll be thanks, greetings, or oops.
I love a good "welcome to my domain" as I beat some midrange hunter or odd warrior in casual with elemental shaman, not gonna lie.
Just say nothing why you even bother emote if not for bm? Emotes are for bming friend requests are for flamming and hope for bad things to happen to him and his family .
Trying anything else whem emoting is straight up waste of time as good game is only for you when you win .
if u lose then no. if u win and say well played before opponent says anything it might be considered BM so i would avoid that. If u say well played before showing lethal then its definetly BM. doesnt mean everyone does it for BM tho.
True BM is if u emote Oops upon winning or the Threaten emote. i do that whenever i defeat an aggro mage the only archetype that pisses me off.

Nop,he was right it surely wasnt a good game and why would he lie for you?.When you play these decks on ygo nothing is good about it if you play them you must be treated like trash .And also no,wp is never wp is just bming always
Not that the "good game" emote even exists so poll is moot.
Using the "Well Played" emote when your opponent concedes is bad manners.
Also using the "Thank you" emote when you get a "well played" is bad manners, if you don't reciprocate the "well played", but fun to do especially if your opponent played very badly.

Uh huh sure buddy. And I'm sure his copypasta Chaos Control deck was just that much more of a noble deck than mine ;)
The point isn't whether or not you did or did not enjoy losing it is more about acknowledging that even though one person lost there are no hard feelings, especially when playing a random person.
I think you need to come back to reality otherwise I feel bad for the people that deal with you irl on a daily basis if you're going to feel slighted every time that you are encouraged to show tolerant & good sportsmanship in the public eye. Nobody likes that guy that throws a hissy fit because they can't swallow a loss over a game.
I’ve said ‘Well Played’ as an F you before but I also and more frequently say it when we’ve had a particularly good game or he did something interesting or good
A number of posts have been deleted. This is a controversial topic but please don't resort to personal attacks, not even to prove your points.
IMO, the only real BMing that is possible in Hearthstone is roping. You can't even PM without sending a request. It is a competetive game after all so a bit of verbal banter has it's place.

Well, roping is dumb in my opinion. Wasting a lot of my time to torture others is not really worth it. :P
How is this thread not closed by now?! Just another thread for Sherman to argue and insult others and missing the point of an actual discussion.
Many ways to BM. Part of the game. Nothing to get cranky about. Everyone does it. If you don't like it then squelch the emotes. If they rope every turn then concede and move on.

I always automatically squelch. My hand is so fast and accustumed doing it, I often find myself trying to squelch AI in singleplayer matches.
“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
Lol, made me laugh. I always shake my head at my Well Played at the end of a PvE game :-/
We are creatures of habit my friend :-)

What is a 'good game' emote? Did they add one recently?
Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
