    I didn't even know you could report people for roping. That's good to know cause I rarely win but it's usually in a situation where I copy their board or play their kill spells on their own bombs so they rope me.

      @@izanagisoh1883 That's why it's important to report them. A series of consistent reports for "Report Conduct > Stalling" with the log file showing quick play and then ropes when the game turns around is what will get action taken.

    Don't know if it's just me, but when I report ropers the case is instantly closed with no action taken on the part of WotC, so I think it's either a bugged ticket system or a placebo action

    • @PowrDragn
      @PowrDragn  Před 9 dny +2

      It's handled on their end. There's simply not going to be any follow up for the person reporting. For various reasons, multiple companies don't give any more details when dealing with the problem folks. AT MOST, they offer a boilerplate "thanks for reporting, we're dealing with it." Otherwise, you simply won't hear anything. But they do follow up.

      @PowrDragn  Před 7 dny

      Nah. People taking their time and thinking is one thing. It's like I said, if the pace is perfectly back and forth and then obvious stops once the other player no longer as the advantage, and even worse if they likely don't have any complication options, and they just let all their timers run....those are the people weren't talking about. If you're just taking longer to take game action, do your thing.

    In the last month and a half, maybe two, it has happened to me that when I am taking my time with my play, the system disconnects. and I have to leave Arena and re-enter, sometimes I lose my turn because of it.

    • @PowrDragn
      @PowrDragn  Před 13 dny +1

      Disconnects are a whole different thing. There's generally a pacing and decision point difference where there's a higher liklihood that it's a salt rope than a disconnect.

    • @raveneff2147

    I use the internet from my phone to run my computer (no need to pay for another internet connection). It times out every few hours or so and needs to be reset causing my game to crash. I have to re-establish connection and reload the game from scratch. This takes 1+ timeouts. This does happen randomly rather than at a specific point in play but has the exact pattern you describe. I play at a good pace and then it stops suddenly. Sometimes I'm able to get back in and finish the game and sometimes not. If I don't have the timeouts built up I get the loss screen when the game loads.

    • @PowrDragn
      @PowrDragn  Před 12 dny +2

      Yes, disconnects happen. That's not the issue. There's a very particular situation/pace when some is winning, "Your Go", being active highlighting things and plotting, etc...
      ...then you turn the corner and start winning, then everything stops on their end and they use 3-4 timeouts. That's when it's very likely someone is salt roping.
      If it happens in the middle of the game with the end in doubt. If there's a strategic moment where they are htinking and then timeouts start being used. Or similar situations, those are more likely timeouts.

    • @mikemcelroy6449

      @@PowrDragn I totally get what you are saying and agree for the most part. I just know mine have happened at times which make it look exactly as you describe it. Heck I even start getting pissed at myself as I scramble to rush the reconnect/reboot process as I know it has to look horrible to the other person.
      If I miss an opportunity to counter a spell, miss an attack, or miss a block, when I get back in I just take the loss and concede for the opponents trouble of having to sit thru my issues.
      In my particular case I'm not worried about being falsely reported or having Arena look into it as they will clearly see that when I am able to reconnect that it's a new IP address since the program I use works kinda like a VPN.
      To minimize this I usually play unranked unless I plan to proactively reset every two or three games in between ranked matches to prevent a mid game problem. This whole issue comes from me being stubborn and not seeing a need to pay for an internet service when I already have to pay for one with my phone.

      From wha tI can tell, it's the same steps as in the video. Gear Icon>report a bug > contact support, then follow the instructions and drop down menu. You'll probably want to hit the "capture log" button before hitting contact support so you have a game log to attach to the file when you report the player.

    Is it really roping if your opponent rage quits arena and moves on to something else? Most of the time they aren’t trying to piss us off , they just rage quit without conceding so it ends up roping you. But I don’t think the intention is there.

    • @PowrDragn
      @PowrDragn  Před 11 dny +1

      The easiest way to quit is to hit concede and move to the next game. So I still have no issue with folks reporting. If nothing else, they get dinged enough and they'll quit doing it.

      Right, and it's the wrong thing to do. Maybe people will start to take those extra steps when "rage quiting" now, and just concede. Just because some people are "accidentally" doing it out of rage, doesn't mean that everyone else should have to pay for it.

It seems everyone thinks that the opponent just sits there and laughs while they rope out. Truth is, they likely aren’t there at all. I will tell you, if my opponent gets a super lucky top deck or decides to taunt me, I’ll close the app and make them sit there for the win. It’s all part of the game.
