Board Game Arena

I really like how the current system is implemented, but I think it has a major flaw.

Especially in Age of innovation I keep matching up with new accounts with very few games played, since I assume they've been invited to play by alpha testers that fit the criteria to be an alpha tester.

Problem is that a lot of these players are quitters and I think I've had more abandoned matches than completed ones. Quitters are always these new accounts.

I understand some of them may be because of bugs, but it seems unlikely.

I suggest keeping the current system, but there needs to be some criteria applied to invited alpha testers. Maybe 100% karma and at least like 30 games played or something.

I just had the same happening to me. Not even played a full round. After 12 minutes the player was gone. Too bad there is no penalty for this. I became an alpha tester, to see if I could help. That people enjoy the game without bugs

I agree completely. I've had 5 games of AoI abandoned now. This never happens with any other game, even alphas.

It's infuriating, some were near the end.
