My opponent is a coward who doesnt lose anything and I don't gain anything[not a bug]

[Syl20]

on monday 2012/04/30, at about 11:15 (GMT +1, summertime), I began a game :
Me, Syl20 (239), with Amber Rain VS [I don't know who] ([I don't know either]), with Eladwen Frostmire [so I'll tell him/her EF]

We were on turn 4, I think.
I had 30 Life Points and 4 Action Points, with :

• Blood Frenzy
• Jeweler's Dream, with Amber's power on
• 2 x Puwen Bloodhelm

EF had 19 Life Points and 3 Action Points, with only 1 card played, Tome of Knowledge

It's EF's turn.
I guess EF quits, victory for me, but no XP, because the game was too short to gain any of it.

It's impossible for me to find that game in the list, using the search functionality (which is great, I take the opportunity to thank the team for it).

I don't think it's really fair, 'cause cheat can use that to play only the games that suites them, and leave the others.
I don't know what EF had in her hand, but may be she thought she couldn't win, and left soon, to be sure not to loose anything ?

Why should you stay in games you think you have lost?

I'd say make the line 3 turns from both sides(maybe even 2). It's a good feature for competitive because we can't choose the starter but in QM it's just pointless.

What makes you think they don't lose anything? They lose ratings when they quit regardless if how fast they end the game.

[Unruler]

Don't worry, the leaver lost the rating, he was punished. But you didn't get anything, it happens, just shrug it off.

Yup, they lose rating if they quit early, and you gain nothing. Still they are #*%!**%# to quit T3.

Is there any guide line mentioning how many turns (or how long you already engaged in a game) before leaving a game is considered too short to gain any XP for the opponent?

What happens in a tournament situation when one of the players leave before the match is saved in a replay form?

Can this be used as a method of cheating?

It's about how many action have been done, but i never saw how many exactly were needed to have rewards by wining.

Maybe it can be done, but i think Wulven have data of these game, so in WC, just ask the nice person from the support team, .

Thanks for all your answers, I understand better, by now.

Well, at least, the leaver loses something, it may discourage cheat.

Hum, I still find a little bit strange a victory where you gain nothing
