Hi,

You really need more variations of thumbs down like you have heard many times. This especially applies to cooperative games! There are some people who do not collaborate at all in cooperative games or that I can not communicate with sufficiently because of a language barrier. I would like to avoid playing cooperative games with these people in future (too frustrating), but I have nothing against playing other games against them.

Wouldn't that qualify as 'This player quits or abandons the game on purpose', even without actually leaving the game?
The player abandoned the game play, literally.

I agree with the OP. I have stopped playing a collaborative game because of a very frustrating experience with a partner who didn't seem to know what he was doing. He never responded to my questions and so at the end I had to red-thumb (private) him just so I wouldn't be paired with him again. I don't think he was being vindictive or anything, he just struck me as being very bad at the game! But I'd be happy to play against him in other games as he wasn't rude or anything.

I can understand, but as for language if you start a table you can set a language.
