The number of quitters is outrageous and something needs to be done

Simple games (where you see the ELO ranking) is "for anyone" so you can face all kinds of players. Arena mode is for competitors, they are maybe less likely to abandon a game, as they will not be beginners.

Ok I am playing simple games, but I have beginners unticked in options.

If I set the ELO restrictions really high then sure I might avoid quitters, but it'd probably take forever for the games to fill. I've seen plenty of quitters with around 200 in ELO.

Then why not try Arena ? It's for competitors, so it's less likely to have bad players who will want to quit. But it will be harder (more interesting) to win

Oz plays only garage module, which isn't available in Arena. While I play both, I understand only wanting garage mods. With mostly good players in Arena, it can approach being as simple as who draws the best cards, as your strategic options are limited, especially on USA track. Personally would like to see garage mod in Arena mode next season. Thanks for all your work on this game!

I have played a fair amount of heat lately but Haven't run into the OPs issue. I could have just been more fortunate, tho.

I would certainly like the option to quit the race at the loss of full elo, for all i care, and replaced with a legend since I have had a time or two where I had to go but couldn't because I respect not ruining the game for others.
