PvP is out of order, and I do not have enough upgraded cards to last more than five rounds in PvP2
... and really, what's wrong with drawing public attention to another's behavior? I can drop the sarcasm and simply list players who load waste-of-time decks into the system. This would be a simple report of facts. Zanz incorporated a feedback system where I can say "This deck is uninspired and boring"; why can't I say this here?
Ideally, I'd send a private message to the player, but you can't in this system, as there is no elements mailbox.
The game needs work to run properly; we cannot expect Zanz to do all the work; players who work against the system need to be made aware that their actions are having a negative impact; "referring to an actual player" is the only way to reach out (in the hopes that they read the forums).
Can you think of a better way to inform people that they are contributing to the breakage of an otherwise lovely resource? Look up 'the tragedy of the commons' and see where that leads when bad behavior goes unchecked.
Oh, and Faro - I don't want to win, I want to play. I don't mind playing unupgraded decks, but I really, REALLY want to try a build with a trident, and the only way to get one is to grind and then play the roller-lottery, so I do object to the mind-numbing combination of extended grind-neccesity AND lame deck-construction (are you saying you don't?). ANd grinding isn't challenging, it's time consuming. Matches would raise the challenge and lower the grind simultaneously.
