Penalties for Conceding

Most of the battles I’m in end with the opponent conceding. It’s frustrating and unsportsmanlike to deny your opponent the final blow, and it denies your opponent points that they would have had. Players should be penalized for excessive amounts of conceding matches. 3+ occurrences in a short period of time should result in a temporary ban from online matchmaking.

    This subject has been addressed plenty of times… conceding it's part of the game rules. In tournaments it can even be decisive, because you have the time constrain...

    So no, you can't penalize players for doing something that is completely legal and useful, also in the original game conceding has exists since the beginning.

    Why would TCG Pocket risk to change/penalize something that has been part of such a successful game... they will never do that.

    Why? Conceding is the proper thing to do.

    You don't waste each others' time, and you both don't have to wait any longer.

    Rage quitters who leave the game and leave you on the countdown screen are the bigger issue.
