Players closing the game to not lose
Quick question, is it a thing for players to intentionally dc so that they don't lose? I started playing ptcgo again recently, and it seems that everytime im about to win, the game just stops moving forward. It will pause right after my knock out or move, and just sit there. I can click on things like normal but it just doesn't move. I thought at first it was a connection issue as I've heard this game does that. But then I noticed it only happens when im wining. Is this a thing? If so...I realy hope this gets adressed. Like asap. Some sort of penalty, or auto win to the player on the receiving end.

That's just the game being slow, likely, as well as buggy. Nothing new.

What can I say with my experience is that: some players that are about to lose, simply stop playing the game, but thankfully, I end up winning with the message "Opponent went inactive for too long". Maybe it is what is English called "rage quit".
I never had the case that this app crash abruptly or stopped working. Maybe I am just lucky.
I hope you can figure out your problem.2 -
Bad sport players do rage quit and close the game... then it waits for the disconnected player until their timer ends.
In normal circumstances you will eventually get the win... but there was indeed an exploit that worked if you had a bad connection... as far as I know they fixed it tho.

Tbh as bad sport as it was... I blame the game more than the player... for starters, you never really know if it was on purpose or a game bug... and even if it was simply bad sportsmanship the game should handle disconnections correctly.
You shouldn't put a player's name out there and accuse them without being sure of what really happened.
