TCG Live Recommendations regarding Timestamps and EXP

Recommendation #1: I obsessively export every battle log to text ans save it to document every match I play on TCG Live. I find it it rather bland though without timestamps. I think TCG Live devs should add timestamps to the battle log exports as well as each users elapsed total time or total time left in parenthesis after each timestamp listed on each action. I would better help players when looking back at matches trying to fix any issues they may run into when they need to make deck adjustments. Long turn times would usually be an indicator that one's deck needs fixing.

Recommendation #2: Its frustrating that I every time I beat another Dragapult copycat who spends 9-13 more minutes than me eating up clock time making moves while failing to even take a single prize card, we end up gaining the same amount of EXP. Its kind of laughable no offense. EXP should be merit based and directly tied to wins, number of pokemon knocked out in match, total attack points scored, and total time taken from clock taken into account with less time equaling more points earned. I even have a formula I created that you can use. And lets be honest, look, I can understand giving losers like 50 points to make them happy so they dont cry but to give them the same amount as me when I scored 900+ more attack points than them, took all my prizes, knocked out 3 ex's, and used only 3 total minutes while they used 14 total minutes, totaled 150 attack points, and didnt take a single prize card, is kind of crazy.

    #1 sure I don't see any issue with that.

    #2 I completely disagree. Some decks (even top decks) just take longer turns... remember the Mew VMAX/Genesect deck? even the turn one could take forever because it could almost go through the whole deck... it was so tedious that some players forfeited immediately... slow decks are part of the game, they even win big tournaments... so I don't think that kind of punishing is a good idea.

    yeah, I after all run an expanded deck that’s designed not to do damage and to take no prizes.
