put a report button IN GAME

[Lord Tony]

I shouldn't have to close the game, look up a log do some homework and then go onto the mtg arena page to report a player for roping me

Put a report button in game please

[DontMisunderstand]

Actual good suggestion. Nice.

You know what sucks is there used to be a bug report button but they changed it to a link and that leads to their excrement filled site.

That said, I don't think they want players reporting other players for objectionable conduct.

If this forum is any indicator of what type of bug reports were being submitted, I would assume the report button was removed from the game because they were constantly being flooded with reports of hackers when in reality the people making the reports just didn't read the cards. I would bet everything I own that less than 1% of all the reports had any legitimacy and were just a massive waste of employee time (and thus, inherently, money). I don't blame them at all for getting rid of it.

Service would just get abused by butthurt players who lost

"I want to talk to your manager" - lol.

Why would WotC make employees wade through reports whining about slow play (and whatever else) when they can just run a script that trawls through server logs that detects the players with abnormally long play times? (And based on developer comments, that is exactly what they do. They used reports as an extra validation step for their automated analysis, at least at first.)

I am not surprised how many people just get frustrated and become stallers\ropers, considering you always play against either mono red aggro or mono black dude who just spams removals till he draws his Sheoldred.

I had dudes rage quit the games because they realised I am not gonna play any creatures and just hit them with spells or poison counters, etc.

I'd rather have a tag system where I can tag others decks as aggro control jank or things like fair unfair, meta etc for the sake of matchmaking

Honestly the chance of you running into that same person again is pretty rare, millions of people play Arena, there's no way that many people are roping you back to back to back, I watch streamers in all ranks of standard and it doesn't happen very often even on videos with 6-10 matches

I've definitely played certain people more than once. It is rare but it happens.

Millions? lmao, your estimate on player count is a little ambitious. On average there's 3 to 5k players on Arena.

Maybe go by something other than Steam Charts and you might see the truth

Okay fine. Activeplayer.io says over any given hour there's roughly 8000 players across all platforms. Says 4 million over 30 days. So over 30 days we can assume at the very least 7k of the same people are playing consistently and we'll leave room for new or infrequent users to log in over that time. What your ♥♥♥♥ doesn't show is how many people are actually playing, not just logging in for a few minutes; or even just to check out the game. Even if we assume that 90% of people playing are playing at least 1 match. That is still only roughly 8k people online and playing at given time maximum. AT 8k that means STEAM is the dominating platform playing the game anyways.

Use some critical thinking and you might see the truth.

So yes, you are right. Millions of people have in fact installed, logged in, and pinged the machines at wizard to let them know another potential costumer has peaked at the game. But in reality the only thing that matters is concurrent player count.

I wish there were millions playing at all times, then maybe it wouldn't take upwards of 3 minutes to find a standard brawl match sometimes.

You just defeated your own argument. The original claim was "millions of people play Arena", not that there are millions of people actively playing at all times.
