I, like any other player, enjoy pwning the hell out of people. However, I also like to see my opponent's strength improve so it challenges my own more. To do that, I feel that a majority of the community needs to learn the three following skills:
1.) Patience- This is the number one trait that 95% of the WoW community lacks. In order to succeed at anything, you must be patient. Don't pull the General's room in AV until all towers and your graveyard has capped, no matter how close the enemy is to yours. Wait things out, and see what happens. Follow a game until the end, no matter how poorly it's going. And above all, learn to just wait. As a Rogue, this was one of the first skills I learned and it has served me well since level 1.
2.) Respect- Trashing an opponent is good, but disrespecting him isn't. I'll chew out any team mate I see using emotes such as /spit or /laugh on a horde, or I'll stalk down and kill any horde I see using that. It's ok to emote on someone (my all time favorite is /wink. Just cocky enough to **** em off, but not to the point of being disrespectful). If you learn to respect your opponents as much as yourself, you will not only be able to keep a level head while fighting, you will also be able to lose with dignity (no one can win every battle they fight, the world just doesn't work like that).
3.) Persistence- Never give up. Even if it's 1990/0 in AB, never quit fighting. You never know how the flow of battle will change. Quitting halfway through it only insures that you've lost.

hmm, I disagree. When I am on my alliance character the Horde is my enemy, mercy or resepct will not be shown unless they prove themselves deserving of said respect.

/laugh or /spit are in there for a reason, consider them just like a "taunt" ability. I know personally when I see someone spit on me I will try doubly hard to get them back. Likewise if I /spit on someone I am not doing it just to be a jerk, I am doing it to enrage them to get them so pissed at me that they get tunnel vision and will chase me to the ends of the earth (or BG as the case may be) thereby neglecting what they really should be doing (protecting their FC or killing ours) Also when someone is "enraged" IRL they will be more likely to mis click or forget things that may otherwise keep them alive in a battle.
If you're heads not clear because you are angry at me, then I have already won the battle. rematch? haha i win again.
As for chewing out teammates ... it's their right to express themselves howeverthey wish. They certainly aren't violating any rules, why try to parent them?
What level can I train those as a hunter? I don't see them on the list...are those talents or something?
Only the exceptions can be exceptional.
I have found that the only people who take the time to /spit on me are doing it because I have royally made their day a pain in the tush. It was kinda funny. One guy was really pissed off that I had the NERVE to attempt to disrupt the enemy players going after Van in AV. I killed the MT (/assist Van FTW!) and caused a little bit of havoc. Then people killed on me and I was never more /spit on in my life.
Oh, and we won
Oh, and we won
On my Rogue i use /spit /slap /doom to entice them to try to find me, which in turn allows me to get them ganked by myself and the 2-3 other rogues bored and tempting them with distracts and /spit emotes.
Im not about to stop using them just because you think its bad taste. When you pay my 30$ a month for both my accounts, then ill let you tell me what emotes i can and cannot use.

I wreak horrible vengeance on Alliance who spam the /spit, /laugh or /rofl macros on me, especially if they do it while I'm crowd controlled.
"Yes, Mr. Warlock, grats on your succubus - you too can hit a single button! Here's to you, Mr. Mage - you can hit the Polymorph button, then spam your spit macro!"
It does tend to effect my target prioritization - it just doesn't usually matter. I'll make them my first priority target in mass melee situations and often burn them down if possible.
Meh. I guess it is effective from their PoV, but it annoys me. I don't spit on my opponents since they usually don't play poorly - I respect them. Once they start with that **** I tend to beat the smack out of them, though.

I agree with the fact that people need Respect in real life.
This my friend is a game. Thus i treat it as such. If someone's feelings are hurt from my /spit or /laugh well tough poopie.
That means in real life you cant have someone laugh at you. It happens every day in the real world. So in a game, if your hurt by this expression, god help you.
Basically my point being, Yes in real life you shouldnt laugh or spit on people, but its only game. Get your kicks in on it, and hope people arent dumb enough to do that in real life.
Im a hunter too, possibly i need this training as well!! ;)

Actually, not all players enjoy this. I guess that's why Blizzard created PVE servers.
I do agree that patience and persistence are important in all aspects of the game though I would clump them together as part of one quality rather than try to differentiate the two.
While I usually try to respect all other players regardless of faction, I think that the /spit is not out of place in the BGs or on a PVP server. That sort of taunting is to be expected in those situations though showing respect for a challenging opponent should be acceptable as well.
I don't see a /laugh as a taunt though. It really depends on the situation. I did a /laugh at some Alliance players in Ratchet the other day because they were running around in Furlbog form and it was funny to see.
Generally though, people tend to get their own attitude reflected back at them. Being respectful doesn't always mean that people will respect you but after a while you will find that the people who do respect you are the ones whose respect actually counts. I have found that nice gestures often reap unexpected rewards such as the other day when my Troll Rogue was running through the Barrens and did a /pat on a passing Dwarf Hunter's pet and the Hunter actually stopped and did a /bow to me before he continued on.
Yep... I'm quite vengeful.
When allies use their /rude, /spit, /slap, /lol's on me, they get camped by me. Or in BGs, they take second priority over enemy flag runners.
Do I do it back? Yes, but usually once they've done it first, or I'll /lol if I see someone do something really stupid. Or if I kill someone a higher level than me. Or if I get the opener from stealth on a rogue who is a higher level than me when they're trying to be sneaky.
Getting emoted at makes the game more intense and more fun... and more satisfying when you get even.

...which is the best reason in the world to use taunting emotes if you're a Warrior in a battleground. "Fight me, not the clothies behind me!"

Amen and rate up for that. Never say die.
I'm not a very malicious person at heart, so I often feel out of place on a PVP server. Whenever my friends and I are in a group, they'll run off after any lone horde they see to kill them. I personally feel it's unfair and not something to be proud of.
In one particular situation, they all ganged up on a rogue. Apparently, said rogue didn't take too kindly to it and decided to hold a grudge. That is to say, a major grudge. He proceeded to stalk us for hours, using ever opportunity that arose to pick one of us off if he could.
The day ended and I figured it was over, but alas... he showed up in many battlegrounds where he made a point to /spit, /laugh, /slap, and kill me over anyone else. I ignored him to the best of my ability and it seemed to work. It's no fun if the person you're trashing doesn't seem to care. After a while of me not reacting and not paying attention to him, he has since left me alone.
The point of this story is that it's best to ignore the disrespectful emotes. A reaction is what they want.
(Another point is that if you travel with blood-thirsty friends, expect to be hated even if you don't participate in the violence)
I thought this was going to be stuff like "First Aid," "bring your own food/drink", "lower enchants are cheap and easy stat upgrades: GET THEM!" and "Don't forget potions!"
Oh well, I guess the moral stands for the OP. I would like more people to follow my suggestions, though :-P

respect and persistence is easy enough so dont even go there ok?! But how long does i take to learn patience?! imho it takes forever. think i will go do some PvP...oh look butterfly!! /runsawaydancing
People who use the /spit get automaticly gets labeled as a 12 yo ******, hated with the Sjans faction and as bonus (if possible) a free hour corpse camping with /soothe emotes included.
Im glad those emotes are in the game ;)

I usually prefer to confuse the enemy. They're so used to seeing /spit or /rude, but how does a Horde player react to a stubby Dwarf who does a /lick and a /moan?
I get a lot of /laughs from that emote combo.

Certain emotes will get me to corpse camp, I know the emotes are part of the game, but so is corpse camping.
If people would just have first aid skill, I would be happy. I hate having to heal people who could bandage themselves to avoid a wipe.
