  Right, this keeps happening.  I'm playing a coin game and I'm winning, my opponent has their turn and the buffering circles go round and round and round, I have a guess what's happened, my opponent has left the game without properly forfeiting, Trouble is nothing happens, I don't get the 'waiting for opponent the reconnect' within 30 secs.  I have no choice but to either forfeit myself or reboot the game but when I do reboot I end up as the loser.  How the hell is this fair?

  My suggestion is this. If a player leaves the game (coin games only) without forfeiting in the correct manner they immediately lose the game. Unfair yes for those who unfortunately lose contact but this is happening far too many times. Lazy players need to learn to forfeit properly.  

   

  Rant over.  Matt.

  Fully agree, Matt.

  Alternatively, something like a three-strike system could be implemented, where any player who fails to properly finish a coin room match three times, gets a one-month account suspension for instance.

  So many people may have aged, but they’ve done nothing but get older. Still acting like the same clueless brats they were as kids! It's just pathetic.
