I understand why you’re annoyed; it’s happened to me several times. Perhaps there’s a way for us players to report other players in the game for misconduct?

Well, there are ways to report players in game for misconduct, but since blocking is a normal part of the game, there is nothing to report there. Your attempts to cheat by trying to prevent players from making legal moves, on the other hand, are much more problematic. Please refrain from cheating and instead play Ticket to Ride fairly.

It’s just happened for the second time in 20 minutes. The other player has completed their objective cards and is now just blocking your moves. It’s no fun like this, and I’d rather play against NPCs.

For the future, I can – and have – blocked these players; a fair Arena match isn’t possible like this. Anyone who has to win games by doing things like this clearly hasn’t understood what games are all about and has nothing to do with fair play.

I'd say that if you opponent won, they know much better than you what the game is about.

If you only want to cheat at Ticket to Ride, go play somewhere else, cheaters are not welcome on BGA. Ticket to Ride players are not interested in your excuses over your poor sportsmanship.

I think you’ve got something wrong there. I’m not the one blocking. And it’s not about blocking when you need the route yourself. It’s about deliberately and constantly blocking other routes instead of just carrying on playing the game normally.
If you think that’s fair and normal, please don’t play.

I've gotten nothing wrong, I've heard you repeatedly confess to cheating and trying to bully users that play by the rules of the game. Your opponents have been playing fairly, and you continue to insist they cannot make legal moves; this is also known as cheating. This sort of unsportsmanlike behavior is toxic and naturally unwelcome on BGA. Please play fairly.

At the moment, you are playing at a very low level, and so you are paired near the lowest ratings where blocking is still being learned. If you progress higher, players have learned more about blocking and become even better at utilizing it, so you will face even more players able to use it effectively when they need to. :D Do not worry, many of the games where your opponents did not block you may often simply be because they did not need to use blocking that game but are happy to use it when the situation arises. :) It's a staple tool of Ticket to Ride, and like any other tool, the player must decide when it's the tool for the job or not.
