Magic The Gathering: Arena Dev Tracker

@Gunkslinger:

@WotC_Lexie:

I was given the okay to give out exact numbers, so here it goes... Only about 50 people were suspended (and only for five days). The people who were suspended were clicking the cat over 150 per minute, and it was constant. There were thousands of clicks per game. It wasn't a one time thing, either. This was over multiple matches.


If you have been just absentmindedly clicking the cat, you won't get in trouble.

This is where I go from an Arena whale to a FTP.
"I was given the okay to give out exact numbers, so here it goes... Only about 50 people."

How does 'exact' equal 'only about'?

I can pull the EXACT number of people suspended, but it doesn't matter whether it was 47 people or 52. What matters is the click numbers. :information_desk_person:

All those are great, but is there a chance to give us an option to hide our opponents' cats in the first place ? Just like we can permanently disable emotes ?

You can. Mute emotes, and it mutes the cat too.

I guess this is a heads up to all who actually pay to play.
Also I have no issue with F2P players but I love how certain F2P players within this post have admitted that they will never pay to play, being that WoTC hasn't given them a reason to buy anything, think that they have the right to decide what the pay to play players get to do with the products that they paid hard earned money for.
I guess they feel that somehow them constantly acting as if they are the protector of WoTC is payment enough for the dev's and will pay to keep this game running.

For those getting banned, I would wager a guess that you did it more than once, figured it out and proceeded to continue to abuse the mechanic in game. I am 100% positive WotC pulled the logs of the people that were banned, saw that they were doing this action on multiple occasions, and offered them a 5 day vacation from the game.


Let's be honest, most people who have the cats have clicked fast a few times and gone about their game, not causing disconnects and not been banned. I know I have done that.

This. We ran the numbers. If you clicked on the cat an insane amount of times in a match multiple times, you got a suspension. It wasn't a matter of just clicking the cat a few times... Or even a few hundred times a match... It was far, far more than that.


As I tell everyone who gets banne...

As I tell everyone who gets banned/suspended and finds it unfair, you can reply to the original email to contest it.
