Conceding Matches?!

I enjoy TCG Pocket. Players conceding early in matches are RUINING the game.

I get it, you don't get the hand you 'want'. But that's the point of a card game! You draw cards, use supporters, and build your team.

All too often 8 times out of 10 I would say, if a match is looking dominant for the opposing player. PEOPLE CONCEDE!

Let us play are hand, are deck, use our bench, our attacks. STOP QUITING.

It is ruining the game.

    @DoubleCure is completely right why participate in a match where there is no comeback chance it would just be a waste of time for nothing since there is no difference if you win or lose by conceding or not

    Would you be here complaining about people dragging out matches that they had already lost in the alternate universe where no one concedes?

    A win is a win. Take the W.

    What do you want, then? You want to reward people for playing out every match? Or punish people for quitting?

    Being forced to play out a game you have already mathematically lost for several turns is a miserable experience. And a lot of people are frustrated by it when they clearly have already won. Both parties would rather get it over with and move on to the next match, or at least stop wasting time in a settled game.

    If there were no concede option, I guarantee one of the most popular threads on this forum would be one requesting the feature.

    Play out your own losses if you must; no one should be forced to concede. But take the wins when you get them and move on.

    I am kind of a beginner at pokemon tcg so I wish my opponents would play matches out. Just so I can see if there are cards with comeback mechanics. And tbh finishing matches quickly or them taking a long time should be taken into account by the designers. Increasing rewards if games take longer so everyone is on an even playing field. The closer pvp games are to chess the better imo.

    I don't think you want to reward longer games. That would just result in people deliberately dragging out games as long as possible.
