Yeah man, I'm right there with you. It isn't being narcissistic at all its a social convention. If anything the expectation to hear GG and GLHF back are the result of a social convention. I wouldn't call SC2 a microcosm in which these terms are "good". Instead, I see the SC2 community as being heavily influenced by years of Eastern Asian domination wherein the social niceties and social conventions of being respectful have become heavily ingrained in the StarCraft community as a whole. TL;DR: It has to do with mutual respect among competitors and sportsmanship. The strong aversion to people not saying GG is simply the result of Eastern Asian cultural influence. | ||

Appeasement is a slippery slope, I agree with the OP, People put too much weight into two letters. | ||

It's about sportmanship and conduct, norms formed differently for each sport. | ||
