REMOVE deserter penalty. All you do is force people to waste time for the ability to play the next match.
I just got out of a game where neither of us could afford anything on the deck and it resorted to rajhin spam, except the opposing player had power cards and I had none. Literally zero way to win the match so I conceded the win...I should NOT be forced to pay a penalty for standing up and taking the loss. They even sent me a tell and thanked me for conceding because the match was stupid.
Why am I paying a penalty in game for bad design? Its rude and disrespectful to the customer to put me in a time out, the only other alternative being wasting more time.
Please, Zenimax designers, stop asking players to waste their time in a game we pay for to have fun in. Its not cool, not engaging and makes me question if I should stay here or find something else more respectful of my time.
