I play to win , like everybody else on WGT ,but if it becomes obvious that it is not going to happen , whether due to my opponents 'brilliance' or my own lack of the same . I find it pointless to continue just for the sake of completing the round . If people need their egos massaging then that's their problem , I don't . I feel the that 'conceding' the game is sufficient acknowledgement of their prowess in that particular round and we can both move on to the next challenge without wasting time and shots .
There are not many that would object to you doing that, indeed for many, especially in the 30min of sponsorship, you're doing them a favour. The problem comes when people don't quit properly and cause the other person to wait or, reportedly, sometimes even forfeit themselves.
In coin games I don't feel that any etiquette applies and I'm not offended or peeved in the slightest if somebody I've never met and never will ,slags me off in a game or forfeits it .In fact I'm all for it .
I'm much the same blocking, however ineffective, usually makes me feel fine about rude people and I'm always happy with a properly done forfeit.
Also I find it ridiculous that wgt is spending time and our money modifying the chat when there is so much more that can be done in the game itself .
Their priorities don't often coincide with what most players think they should be.

I really don't see what he did wrong and as said if he'd just asked he'd as likely have been directed to the search box. The fact he's the only person, apart from a brief interlude from alosso, that's probably not using his first language I think means a little leeway should be given on tone. Mythanatos then posted a sarcastic reply and Robert laughed, in effect laughing at him (Jedef).
I didn't understand a word of that mate :( but further to the discussion is anyone aware of the possibility of forcing a forfeit when it appears the game is not loading . I've been caught out by this a few times when restarting the game and finding I've been disqualified and the coins deducted . funnily enough this only happens when I'm winning .
There are many rumours about this sort of thing but as I'm even less experienced than you in coin games, I just started playing them at the start of October, I can't really help. That's why I didn't answer your posts before, there are some in this thread that could answer much better on this.
??, explain the joke please
PureGro1 Basically- its about bringing up an 11yo thread...
Here is the catch...If you had made a new thread someone would have told you to use the search box, If you use the search box someone will ask why your bringing up an old thread.
So basically it's just best to stfu and not post anything ?
It's only ever been an issue for me since flash ended ( 1 year ago )and I started playing the coin games. I wouldn't dream of quitting on a cc member or someone I'd played with for several years . I 've obviously not made myself clear but the next time I get a friendly, informative ,humorous or light hearted reply from anyone will be the first time . WGT is indeed populated with ******* ********* . :))
As said the it's fine to quit in the coin games as long as you quit properly.

No, that’s not the case. But as someone else pointed out, you resurrected a thread from over 10 years ago, posted some stuff, and then said “discuss.’
I’m sorry but I had no idea what the point of that was supposed to be.
Contrary to what some may say, there are plenty of helpful and generous people on here. For example, some players on here have literally gifted equipment and balls totaling in the 1000’s of credits through various events over the years.
And there are multiple threads of players providing free advice.
The old thread was called "players quitting" and that's what he wanted to discuss, if when using English he put it in a way that seemed abrupt to you is that really a big deal? The quoted comment from him clearly came from what PureGro1 rightly said. He didn't mention generosity or lack of it, you brought that up. He wasn't asking to be gifted anything, although perhaps he expected civility.
