This game is SUPPOSE to be light hearted and fun, ...
Very true! And that is exactly the reason why I never feel offended by any of these emotes, I just imagine my opponent is my best friend twitting me a little bit. I don't understand people being offended by the emotes, neither do I understand people squelching the opponent right at the beginning of every game. And the reason why I don't understand this is that "This game is SUPPOSE to be light hearted and fun". I mean, when you play a game in real life, do you really act according to your guide to etiquette? Say you play with your parents or your friends or your children, is there never a situation where you feel something like the "threaten" emote (in a fun way!) ? You never feel like a "Wow" emote in an ironic or sarcastic way (+ fun!)?
And besides, making a greetings emote right after you top deck something is one of the most fun things ;D.
One of the best (most fun) games I had in hearthstone was a Tavern Brawl where your deck is filled with random stuff (I think something like crossroads encounter) and it was priest against rogue, my opponent got Lorewalker Cho, I copied it somehow, and from this point on we were just spamming spells and spamming emotes (of any kind). This went on for about half an hour, and I just knew that my opponent was having as much fun as I had and that we both didn't care who would win this game in the end...
I only found out about "squelch" recently. Wish I'd known sooner as have had some spammers in the past and it did my head in.
I always say "welcome" sometimes people say it back, sometimes they don't. I particularly hate it when they ignore me, ignore any "well played" then start spamming "welcome" once they start to win... they are the same people who shit themselves and concede as soon as I have lethal.
Sometimes I'll concede myself if it's impossible to win, but I never rob someone of lethal if the match isn't going to be dragged out though, I mean you aren't actually saving time at this point, just being incredibly salty and a bad sport.
I recently started playing south park’s phone destroyer and I love how the emotes there include cartmann laughing, crying and passing gas. Reminds me of our sorry emote
The thing that makes me saltiest is people who don't know how to squelch, and then come to the forums and act like any of the bad actors are actually going to read their silly etiquette guide and take it to heart.
It's especially bad when they use a vague subject line so I don't know for sure if I should avoid the thread.

I never really emote BM'd anyone .... until I got Nemsy :-)
Her emotes are funny as hell from the giving side ... and annoying as nails on a chalkboard on the receiving side. I love wiping a really wide board, followed with "that was AWESOME!" .... and telling anyone that they would make a cute puppet is just .... AWESOME!!!

All the emotes are voiced as sarcastically as possible, so I'd say it's a fair bit by design.
