It's getting a bit ridiculous...

[EuroGamez]

So far 15 out of 23 games someone has quit, or times out. That's over 65%....

Most of them are rage quitting cause they are about to lose/not win.

I've been denied so many win and the most recent game at 80% finished I got 0 ELO aftet being in the lead 4½ hours of playing.

Why do you lose ELO for tieing all the other players when one player quits? That mkes no sense. In a game that finishes, that makes sense. But people are just quitting to deny ELO all the time. I think almost 10 games I've been denied a guaranteed win now.

What is possible to change about the score/ELO system for this game and what is BGA site stuff that can't be changes for a specific game only?

I could make a feature suggestion in the bug-report maybe if I knew the rules to play by. It's not much fun to play like this unfrtunately. I've of course red-thumbed every player that did this and encouraged other to do the same. But because there are so few players right now you are still kindo forced to play with brand new ones with 0 ELO so you can't sort out players who might have just made a new account after rage-quitting too many times.


Sincerely a very frustrated player...

I am with you on this. It really frustrating when this happens and it's more often than not.
Not sure what to do about this but it really reduces my desire to play this game.
I get that ELO is your worry, and it's a really worry, but my main worry is an enjoyable game.
If less than half of the games go to completion and my elo goes up I am still not enjoying it.

A few filters would be nice, but a bit worried about going too far. I personally got kicked out of a live game due to a complicated tactical action taking too long to figure out mechanically. I am still getting used to how a few things work. I had the win on that one and guessing the #2 booted me right away. So, like to give the benefit of the doubt to others and hope others do the same for me.

Might also make a suggestion to allow an extra minute on tactical actions.

This does need to be fixed or people will stop playing it.
