Stuck in draw phase forever?

[Gloopers]

So I'm just kinda sitting here in a game thats on the first draw phase of the game but it no card has been drawn? Its been well over 5 minutes is this a bug or is this some kind of force you to surrender kind of thing?

So I just got the "Time limit win" after spending 35-40ish minutes in game.

After about 50 minutes of sitting in an "endless" Turn 1 Draw Phase my match ended and sent me back to the matchmaking screen. I didn't win or lose the match and I have no information about the match in my Match History, so I couldn't see what the opponent was even playing.

This more than likely was a bot game. They had a default icon and Japanese name that read Blue Eyes White Dragon. Hopefully this doesn't grow into a bigger problem, since in my case I had no chance of winning. My only options were to surrender and give the bot the win or wait ~50 minutes to prevent them from getting a win but at the same time not losing or winning. This happened in a Gold 4 Ranked Duel and was my first time seeing this btw.

Trust me, this isn't gonna grow into a bigger problem because it's BEEN a problem for a long while. Next time you match with someone with a default everything, just alt-f4 and save yourself the time.

These bots you mentioned, the main thing they can do is erase that particular match history so you cant report them but here is another thing, that match will count as a loss to you as it did to me.

I know its a loss cause I encountered these A-holes a few times where I just need one more win to get promoted, they got first turn played 1 or 2 card and surrender, I got sent back to intro screen as if I got dc-ed, check my match history and no record of that match, then queue up for another match and I'm still on the same rank plus, the game didnt say I need one more win to get promoted.

Nothing new here.
This is one of the private cheats I've brought up several times in the forums and was made fun of because the idiots who uses it doesn't want people finding out about its existence. And it is a lot of people really.
They somehow can the extend timers for ridiculous amount of times by injecting lag or something. And not only in Draw Phase, but for any move and prompt in the duel.

This is the last of your concerns though. There are cheats that can see through set cards on the field and on the opponent hands as well. And also a cheat to top deck/arrange the starting hands.
