connection problems and auto resigning

I am writing to strongly advice you not to play in chess.com from country regions that there is poor network. The policies behind auto resigning after 30 seconds are against your elo growth. As an example I will tell you what could happen in poor network like mine in greece vs a good network like that I had about 2 months ago in france. I play chess.com via a tablet app in which i have the chance to play through home wifi or 4g plus sim card via the same mobile company. Every time a dissconnection occures I have to close wifi and restart the network with mobile mbs if i want a slightly chance to finish the game. About 2/3 of the times I am not get through with a solution instead i get an auto resigned game according to the app policies about dissconnections. This costs me a lot of anger and some elo points and in the end lost of motivation. In compare to this situation the games that i had in the french network between 24/7-13/8 was far more pleasureable and consistent and you could see this also from my stats that time. And the reason of that you guess it was the lower percentage of disconnections. I am also recommend the directors of the app to change disconnections policies in blitz and rapid games . In either games a long time disconnection is by alone much punishing for the player`s game. I would like to ask you if any you of have similar experiences and what do you think about the stopping of 30 seconds disconnection which automatically drives in an auto resigning... Thank you for your patience.

It is unfortunate that you get disconnected so often but what is the alternative?

Would you force your opponent to wait for the full time while you disconnect and reconnect multiple times?

Have you no sympathy for your opponents?

Why haven't you even tried daily chess?

I respect my opponent s time, but I have at least the patience to wait a half blitz time to make a move. My opponent as I have came into play a 2×5 minute or 2×3 minute game. If he doesn t want to offer as much time as that he doesn t respect the game itself. From my point of view if I start a blitz game, where cheating events are time strictly in general, I have at least the patience to wait that 10 or 6 at maximum minutes for that game that will eventually come to an end.

In contrast you think that a player with 15 seconds or less repeatedly disconnections has any sympathy for the chess.com community; Because that type of player only receives bad review and nothing more. I am telling that it s far different to get disconnected by purpose. I have came into a lot of games that opponent made a lot of disconnections, trash talking etc. I came in conclusion that if you love the game you can put aside all of this. But when the policies of an application are against the chances of advancing your chess ability by the policy of disconnections that limiting you to weaker opponents by the auto resign loss of elo. this is a good reason to think of resigning from internet gaming.

I strongly agree with GMario5 here. I am no master-level player, but I am not a noob either. Throughout my 15000+ blitz games' streak on chess.com, I lost at least 500 games give or take, all due to poor connection. If I am disconnected, I am the one who is falling behind on the clock, and it is I who is getting under pressure to win with less time to make my moves once the connection is restored. So why give the free win to my opponent? Because it is unfair for him to have to wait?!! How ridiculous! In many of the lost games that were 'taken' from me, I was way ahead of my opponent. So who are you being unfair to, chess.com?

i have a strong connection and then too i am loosing games just because of connection problems, site never show that my connectivity is poor, i just keep waiting for opponents' move and end up loosing games on clock😡😡
