people not resigning when a piece down or 2 pawns down or down more than that

It really annoys me when I get to late game and I'm up a rook, knight or bishop and the opponent resigns rather than playing out the game and actually trying. We've just played for about 20 minutes, and when you're hardly losing and so close to finishing the game you resign?!?! Even when I'm left with a king and my opponent still has a queen, I'll continue playing. IRL there is NO RESIGN BUTTON and you're Infront of a physical human being, that's why I find it better but it's annoying when I can't find anybody to actually play me irl lol

I'm inclined to agree. Two games ago, I was rated 1476 rapid, which isn't far from his 1500 threshold. In that game I was a piece up with an easy win, then I blunderingly allowed a pawn to promote which I could have taken in complete safety the previous move.

In my last game I moved my knight to a square completely failing to notice it could be captured by his bishop. I suppose technically it wasn't hanging because I could recapture, but it was defending against a fork, so it was as good as hanging a piece. My opponent in that game - rated 1638 - later missed what to my eyes was a blindingly-obvious mate-in-two.

Players can blunder at any level. If you're down, look for counterplay. Only give up when there is none left.

it simply depends how much the game has progressed and online people simply troll so much it puts me off it makes playing less fun and less interesting imho (just force ban accounts but no chess.com likes it numbers to go up)
lets all make 10 accounts now shall we for the purpose of trolling games.....
online trolls rule vs recreational players online ( in real life i wouldn't be bothered with this at all) and afterwards i could be very inclined to slap the disrespecting player some sense into wasting valuable time disgusting humans not resigning when you know you are beaten in the game.
period.
if you'd make it a rule that if you don't resign a losing position and its obvious (given a player has done a minimum amount of games lets say 50-100 and a rating above 1000) and know it and it would auto delete your account i am sure games on here would be taken a lot more seriously then they do now...
but whatever go have your 1.000.000 troll players i have quit playing on here because of that done wasting time on here to improve a game i like to get better at.

I tell you what I find a lot MORE annoying, is people who are quite obviously in a losing position requesting a draw. I don't mean where it's marginal, I mean where the only likely result is a loss, so they try to negotiate a draw instead. Not very sporting. That's when you resign, not when you ask for a draw. I find when you say "no" they will sometimes just end the game, presumably by closing their browser or device.

I hate when people resign, they take all of the fun from chess. Most of chess games are uncompleted. A healthy game is consisting of three parts, the most amusing part is the checkmate. Resigning is just a disrespect and leaving the half of the glass empty.

being down a minor piece for nothing or a rook for nothing is losing almost 100% of the time. That is why gms resign when they blunder a rook or minor piece. Being up a minor piece or rook for nothing is so winning that it's not worth the time to play it out

Here's the fun part, you're not a GM, and neither are we

But that's why it's so complicated. Cause we aren't top players (doesn't necessarily have to be grandmaster).

Yeah , we are not gms and in under 1600 ratings , being down a minor piece isn't really a lose. Sometimes your opponent blunders between 1 - 4 moves after winning material.
