I hear you loud and clear on wanting private messaging on the forums, but it isn't something we'll be implementing. Sorry about that!

Well, I guess that answers that. Any reasoning behind that decision, Lexie, or are we to be left in the dark?
(edited to tag mod)

Because that isn't something we'd like to make available.

A flashlight would be nice.... or at the very least a damp matchstick. :smile:

There are a lot of reasons as to why private messaging won't be happening, and I'm not going to do discuss them. :slight_frown:

There is only one more charity related drop this year and that is for Extra Life. If there are any other charity organizations that you'd like to see us support, feel free to share with us! :slightly_smiling_face:

You can buy this drop at https://secretlair.wizards.com/, and it includes an MTG Arena code for a Saskia the Unyielding sleeve. This drop will only be available for 24 hours, ending on 3/9 at 9am PT.

Here is a quick guide for this drop:

Haven't gotten your confirmation email? Don't worry, you will! Sometimes the system takes a while to think about life and it takes a bit to send it to you. Give it a while and reach out to our support team later today if it still isn't there.

Stuck on the "your order was processed" page? This may be because you have an extension that bloc...

@MaGiC#9:

I haven't receive any mail for WoTC about the code... Any idea why ?

You could also just use "Good Game". It's okay to lose, it happens to everyone (and fairly often). If someone needs to learn how to pilot a deck, unranked queues are the perfect place to do it.

But as stated a few times already. GG gets taken as an insult by a portion of the playerbase already... specifically because tilted players only got GG to throw at you

Any emote can be taken as an insult, depends on context. Just say "Good Game" and move on with your life. One of my favorite things about MTG Arena is that I can play a lot of games rather quickly. Say GG, concede/lose, and queue up again!

The March game update is sure to put a spring in your steps and phases with new cards, new features, new events, and new ways to interact with your fellow players.

Nice? Nice.

HISTORIC ANTHOLOGY II

In case you missed it last week, we announced that we'll be adding 25 cards to MTG Arena as part of Historic Anthology II.

With Historic Anthology I, our primary goal was to open up the options for Historic decks to start bringing the greater breadth that a nonrotating format should support. We felt like this landed fairly well, with cards like ...

If you're having an in game issue, please submit it to our support team or bug forum! Click the Support button at the top of this page.

Is that a way of saying the forum was closed to new posts? Like some kind of consolidation?

The Player Support section of the forums has had posting turned off for a while, because we have changed our process for troubleshooting and reporting bugs over time.

so now they are doubling down of the ridiculous bug report system that gives no feedback to the player and I believe only has 5 resolved issues on record

This has been our process for quite some time now, and things posted are resolved all the time! I'm not sure what feedback you're looking for. If something reported is a bug, and...

If you run into someone roping intentionally, please report them! That is how we decide to take action or not. We do regularly take action on accounts that are intentionally roping other players... Even if you don't see it happen.

(And before this turns into a, "it should be easier to report people" conversation, there are definitely benefits to having an in-game reporting system! There are also negatives. The system we have now is the system we are going to have.)

@setsuna:

Abuse and multiple reports without solution for months.

Woah woah woah, why do you think nothing is done? We definitely take action on peoples' accounts for repeated roping. :slightly_smiling_face:
