Force Quitting vs. Conceding

We really need to adjust the AFK timer down to at most 10 seconds. Once someone quits out of the app, or is afk for 10+ second, it needs to automatically forfeit. It’s becoming a real trend that once someone knows they are beat, instead of just conceding to speed things up, they force quit their app, and now you have to wait for 120 seconds before you get the victory. It’s a salty move and ruins any fast paced action.

    It think we can make a reasonable case for cutting down on the timer, but you don't want to go too far in the other direction.

    It needs to be a sufficient amount of time to allow people to think about their plays and make them without being rushed, while also preventing people from abusing the time limits just to annoy their opponent.

    Of course, if someone wants to waste your time, they are going to drag out the game as much as possible, so there is no way to truly eliminate it. But we can try and mitigate it as much as possible.
