I have lost. A lot. But I take my losses and queue up for the next loss. Why do people rage quit instead of concede? What really bugs me about people rage quitting is it forces the player to be locked into the game until the player disconnects. If there was a way for the game to quickly determine when someone disconnected to avoid the loss rage quits would not bother me at all. Like put in checks like if player health is low and the attacks of the cards on the board are collectively higher than heroes health as soon as player misses a ping immediately disconnect them. Then rage quits would not suck.

In general I feel that if one player is playing quite quickly and the other player is taking forever that the slow player should have their time shortened... It's frustrating to know you're going to win (or even lose!) but be at the mercy of the other player taking their sweet time... Even in the final round where it's clear that one side can't effect the outcome enough to not die, the player with no cards and no chance can just run the clock out and finally allow the outcome to come to conclusion! I've had quite a few battles where I had 1 health, no Super Block left and the other player was going to do 10+ points of damage, yet they still play a few more cards! Especially when I'm the Plant Hero and I'm played out, playing a few more tricks that means that zombies after the one doing the final hit get bonuses is just ridiculous... or killing off a plant in a lane past what will be the killing stroke...

@MyPouf please remove the photo, theres no reason to name and shame (especially sobering so trivial) and as @BPRDHB said, it's against the forum rules.Either that or @EA_Andy can do it. Feel free to express your concerns. Your voice should be heard, but not at the expense of others. You lost maybe 15 seconds of your life extra when they quit, and considering you're playing a game, You're already wasting your time, so you can't use the "wasting my time excuse"Have a great one.

Because they are childish. There is not another way to see it. Yes, the game DOES suck a lot of the time. When the block meter doesn't help you and you lose without blocking once. When the enemy topdecks an answer. When the enemy destroys your strategy. When you lose on turn 4. Or simply when you just lose. It sucks. But it is as simple as just move on into the next game. The people that cannot do that, are the one who rage quits.

When people quit it takes about 30 seconds for them to be disconnected. That's not long at all and to ask the developers to shorten that time seems kind of ridiculous. It is really annoying when people wait until the turn timer is almost out before they do anything on every turn. It makes the game take a really long time. I just embrace it when they take a long time every turn and do it back to them. I figure if I have to wait for them to drag out their turn then I'm gonna make them have to wait too.

Wait a minute, this is a ripoff to another toxic community from other games.As my own opinion this is the most toxic game i have ever play. To make it sure, the owners of this game that never listens to the community can make this game purely toxic. @OldSchool9210 I disagree. I think this is a pretty good community. I've played other games like WoW, where the flaming is unreal. While I got into it last week with Honebooboo, the commentors here are respectable for the most part. As for EA, I get that people have a beef with them when they make changes, but to assume they aren't listening or don't care, I think is wrong. They will go for the biggest common factors to make money, but that's their job. If they game isn't enjoyable, they'll lose players. A reason I think they listen is look at the tweaks they did to the Event Cards. Used to cost 2000 for the first card. There are a couple of cards that I only have 1 or 2 cards. They listened, they made changes. BPRD

On Android at least, you have a bug that explain this. If you turn off you phone for like 20 s when it's your turn to play and your time is running out, the game cannot reconnect and you do not lost the game. It is like the other guy is disconnected. You do not win star with such win, but you do not loss any thought. I confess that I do that when I am one star to reach a new level and the game is not turning right for me.

1. I never call anybody 'cheater'. Go back on my posts and I defy you to find this word somewhere. I just pointed out that the new cards were OP for Z, a feeling shared by the vast majority of Plant players and even by those that play both. Now, if you do not see any problem to have a 12/5 Zomb blob with bullseye as early as round 4, or a 5/6 untrickable fossilhead as early as round 2, it's fine with me.
2. I appreciate moderately for being call a cheater for taking advantage of a bug that I am nice enough to point out in a ea forum. I believe it is against the rules of the forum to name people, but whatever.
3. I still need to win to get stars. So you can not reach levels without win with this trick but it is faster.
4. The other player win. So, it is a win-win situation.
5. I do not take anybody place, my ranking only concern me.
6. It's a game, there are no money involve, so give me a break. If the game makes you angry, stop, go outside and have a life.
Good night.

I wasn't talking about you directly, and while it might have been implied, I never called you a cheater.
What I was commenting on, is the assumption that you are not the only person who knows about this glitch, and I find it funny that for a good couple months now, zombies are getting nothing but crapped on. And they are only playing cards that were given to us to play with and being accused of cheating because some players feel it easier to complain constantly in hopes of getting a change in the cards(Congrats for your successful campaign of crying btw, all of you you united to * about it rather than attempting to do something about it ingame) and then seeing you posting this on how people are also beating the system.
I actually think that what you did was a stand up move, considering that I am pretty sure plenty of other people are using the glitch to their advantage also.

My statement was just that, and at the time it kind of turned a light on, so to speak, because I have played many games wondering why they D/Ced when they did, because it didn't make any sense at the time of the D/C.
Maybe you should reconsider what you think you are doing, as obviously I hit a nerve.

Quitting players should be penalized by time penalty like 0,5 hours or 1 hour, before they can play again.

Wish they could be, since as I understand it now, it's just as quick to concede and start a new game. Or hey...just hit go and let it play out. However, there is no sure fire way to identify rage quiters that wouldn't possibly inflict penalty on innocent players who encounters legitimate connectivity issues. Like the player who was up 18-7 on me yesterday morning and had me dead to rights when he D/C'ed. I'd be pissed if I were him and came back to an hour penalty before I could play again.

If you are winning and quit, then it's connection issue, but if you are losing and quit, then probably it's rage quit 😉
