I will reiterate the devs position on this: we do not endorse game situations where both players look at a screen doing nothing. Psychological wars or not, it simply is not the experience we want to offer to our players.

Thanks for the timer suggestions, but we think there is an underlying problem that is much more important than that, and we are already actively working in a direction that will prevent these sorts of situations to happen. But as always - these things take time.

im really glad devs work in the direction. I still can't believe some people are defending such positions.

Defending what positions? making use of the game rules to do what ever the hell you want with them? "trolling" people you dont like or to piss off those using legendary units on 250 ap or to force people to move? oh geez, who would defend that?. As i said before this behavior has nothing to do with the players it has everything to do with the rules and the system, this was, from day one a mistake on the devs part, the same as running around to get a draw but NO lets report them all!, what are we? a bunch of 12 years old? is this the first time you guys play anything on the internet?. Is like if the people that played the closed beta did nothing, how on earth did this even got to become and open beta problem?

@Soulcollector: i think what Jigoku says is pretty much all it has to be said. Again, you are giving options to the people which might not be like you and, who knows, might not appreciate this behavior. You dont need to report if you dont want to. For the records we were discussing only about players losing time on purpose not about any other game issues (ie: legendaries at 250 ap). Yes they can do that because the game allow them to behave like this which is why the devs are acting to solve the issue. I really don't see your problem =/

Ok man I won't argue any further, the devs position was made very clearly but if you want to know what my problem is, is very simple you hate this players and your position has been made very clear in this thread about it and I simple do not hate them, as I don't hate the people that run on turn 13 and 14 to get a draw with his half dead unit instead of engaging like an idiot against impossible odds and even the probability of getting that last unit injured in the process. Does it suck? yes it does, if you are on the other end of the stick but this is not bug abusing, is something you can do within the current rules the game has. So, why would you want to report people for this? what would reporting this people do? you make it sound simple, "if I dont want to I don't have to" but thats not all there is to it, in order for this kind of behavior to be a reporting matter there needs to be some kind of punishment for the people doing it and i sincerely can't agree to that.

You say this was only a discussion about the people doing it on purpose and I told you why some people do it on purpose but you didn't want to understand or couldn't understand what i was trying to say to you.

Today is reporting people that do something unpleasant inside the game rules, what will be a reporting issue tomorrow? and thats the reason for the examples of other annoyances in game.

So, my problem? I have a different opinion than yours about this matter, that is all.

We wouldn't take action against people playing within the rules anyway, no matter how many reports could be made about that.

We will take the reports into consideration - to change the rules of the game, in order to make sure that situations we do not want to occur in the game, do not occur.

Ok. Now that makes a lot more sense, if you want to use the report feature as a tool to find problems within the game, I'm all for it. Thanks a lot Jigoku for make it more clear.
