[2019] AFK players should be penalized

@TomDW:

by the way, this is the kind of the thread we are having every other week or so and many people give OP's of these threads good reasons: sometimes AFK's happen, sometimes life get's in the way (i have times where i just started a game and my 4 year old started yelling he had pooped and needed his ass whiped) but yes sometimes you meet a salty nut

if you are playing an event (like sealed, draft).. wait them out and use that time to report (WOTC most likely won't do a whole lot and everyone can have a technical oopsie or life issue that got in the way but [[58194,users]] has said a couple of months ago regarding the no nexus win debacle that they DO take care, espescially if they see certain names pop up more regularly)

if not and it's just play or ranked, either report them or concede
(preferably the first since the second option might encourage the intentional behaviour)

in life though, a little patience goes a long way sometimes

Report them! We DO take action, you just don't see it.

So does this mean I can report nexus players for making me wait 10 minutes for their infinite turn? That doesn't seem fair.

If they're looping a ridiculously long time with no win condition, then yes, report them!
