Isn't there already a time limit that causes the player to lose if the disconnect exceeds the limit? If not, there should be. Automatically losing because of a disconnect is not a good solution. I have had recurring problems of losing connection to the server while playing. It would be annoying if I would lose each one of these games.
Disconnection suggestion
What I am asking for would be a voluntary feature -- I would sign up for it, so that I would automatically lose if I disconnect. Then I could filter on like minded people, and never again have to put up with an opponent who intentionally disconnects when losing. There is a feature like this on ICC, and it is VERY popular.
If you need help, please contact our Help and Support team.
This is a simple request that could relieve a major irritation. Put a voluntary "i forfeit if I disconnect" feature in, that players can sign up for. Allow everyone to filter on this feature, so they have the option of playing those who have agreed to forfeit on disconnection. I asked about this in the help chat room, and got a very courteous but totally useless response. This seems simple and easy to understand.
Please respond -- I would really like that feature. I know that disconnects are irritating enough that I am about ready to return to ICC because of them.
