You’re free to interpret it how you want to, but IMO, whether you win or lose, “GG” is just good sportsmanship and getting mad over someone saying it after you get stomped is just you being a sore loser.

I disagree. That is like saying "yeah, it was a good game" when matching old people with bad reflexes against young people with good reflexes in a competition about reflexes. There is nothing "good game" about massively outmatching the opponents by a large margin.

Edited by Guardian3564: 7/10/2022 8:47:55 PMLike I said, you’re free to interpret it how you want to, just as I will interpret it how I want. Personally, I consider “GG” to be the equivalent to two teams shaking hands after a game. And you viewing “GG” as a negative thing is like refusing to shake the other team’s hands because you’d rather throw a tantrum over the loss. It’s just poor sportsmanship and a shitty attitude. It’s also just a video game. Take the loss and move on.

[quote]And you viewing “GG” as a negative thing is like refusing to shake the other team’s hands because you’d rather throw a tantrum over the loss.[/quote] That's not quite close to what I interpret a "GG". If you say "GG" to me after a strong, sweaty head-on-head pvp match that either side won with the other side being close to the game mode final score, then I see it as a "shaking hands in respect". If you say "GG" to me after a stomp match that my team has lost 5-0 or 5-1 without standing any real chance at making a single kill in the rounds, then that is for me on the same level as spitting into the face of an opponent beaten to the ground, unable to move or defend. You see the difference? Also, just for the record, I said "humiliating defeats". Not regular defeats in crucible. I hope you know what "humiliating" means, right? [quote]It’s just poor sportsmanship and a shitty attitude.[/quote] Same can be said about saying GG to an opponent that you beat without breaking a single tear of sweat while they were struggling to stay alive at all. [quote]It’s also just a video game. Take the loss and move on.[/quote] Thing is here, if someone says nothing after the match to the opposition they defeated by a large margin, then they will do exactly that. If you say anything that resembles you having a good time while not acknowledging the awful time the opponents had, then you are forcing "I won, you didn't"-attitude over others, even if it is unintentional.

Maybe you’re just too sensitive to losing. PvP might not be the activity for you if you can’t handle a loss every now and then.

Edited by Talia Sendua: 7/10/2022 11:14:43 PM[quote]Maybe you’re just too sensitive to losing.[/quote] Not at all. I can lose perfectly fine when I am compensated as player via fun, loot or xp in a fair amount. I have no problem in losing a ranked Overwatch Match while others get super toxic and racist about certain experiences in that game. I can lose in Halo without getting mad at anyone. (Edit bc forgot typing it) Destiny 2 is just not as good as it was in regards of the PvP, compared to its predecessor Destiny 1. [quote]PvP might not be the activity for you if you can’t handle a loss every now and then.[/quote] Just as a sidenote, if it would be a few loses "now and then" it would be a correct statement of you. But people losing several matches in Trials in a row is not "now and then". There are players that lose much more often than myself in Trials on a regular basis. Do you think for them it is a "now and then"?

Edited by Guardian3564: 7/11/2022 1:34:03 AMI think you’re trying to turn this into something it’s not just so you have something to complain about. Definitely the attitude of a sore loser.

You couldn't be more wrong about that. You ever had a moment when one of your friends was pissed about something and your attempt to "cheer them up" resulted in the exact opposite, making them even more mad? This is what I am talking about. Good intentions gone wrong.

Edited by Guardian3564: 7/11/2022 3:48:04 PMSo, you being a sore loser and being mad when someone is trying to show good sportsmanship. Got it. Maybe you need to re-evaluate the way you view “GG” rather than trying to use it as a way to justify your shitty attitude after getting stomped.

[quote]So, you being a sore loser and being mad when someone is trying to show good sportsmanship. Got it.[/quote] Think whatever you want. I see I can't make you understand my PoV and that we don't get anywhere with talking. Have a great day sir.

It’s because you have a terrible take on “GG.” Might want to consider being a better sport when you lose.
