To Gesture, When Not to Gesture
So, a friend, who only tried the first GW a couple of times, commented on how much he disliked the taunts in the game. He thinks it's a rude thing to do, and likened it to tea-bagging in other games....

i only gesture when someone is camping out and has a streak, when someone taunts me, or when I vanquish someone who keeps picking on me. I let people shoot me when i'm taunting them because I want to show them they have a strong enemy.

I do it because I like to show my enemies that I don't care about dying, getting vanquish streaks and by taunting someone who doesn't fire back shows they are either laughing or fearless. I don't run up to someone and taunt though, I generally just stand there starring at them, waiting for them to realise my presence and when they do, if they start the fight I usually end it and then taunt. Depends, if some one is using a ridiculous broken or overpowered character I'll taunt then too. Players who hide on rooftops and every time you hit them they run away, like surviving to them is so important...
One thing that does irritate me sometimes though is when you're doing a challenge and you have a ridiculously longer taunt which ultimately gets you killed, but because I just want my challenge doing more than surviving it has to be done. When you see a highly ranked player, or one that's constantly getting boasts each game and you kill them knowing full well you just prevented a boast for them, that's when I taunt, I like to rub it in because I don't like players who camp, or care too much.
