How to deal with very slow players.. (Without violence)
Do you feel frustrated/angered or mad when the opponent player takes 2-3 mins just to spend 1 magicka ? or She/He has 1 card in hand but roping ? On the other hand, Do you hate when people are incredibly slow like in sidewalk, slow drivers ? Do you wanna punch 'em in tha face ? Every solution starts with a first step. Acknowledgement. That kind of players are called Rope Players. And you have Slowness rage.

Each one of you who came here to read this are my brothers and sisters. I want you to know that don't worry. You are doing the right thing. "Khajiit will find a way in. ;)"

Patience and impatience has an evolutionary purpose. They constituted a balance, a finely tuned internal timer that tells when we’ve waited too long for something and should move on. When that timer went buzz, it was time to stop foraging at an unproductive patch or abandon a failing hunt.

Now that we know why we have this feeling, we can now talk about the most important part. What should we do?

First of all, No.. You shouldn't punch him/her in the face. Because you can't.. If you can, please go ahead, teach him/her a lesson. If you can't, know that your slow opponent might be afk, getting drinks or the door. Just be patient like a gentleman and wait for him/her to return.
If your opponent ropes for 2nd time and doesn't say sorry, he/she is roping. That means he/she is griefing or trolling. Before you play, In case this happens, make sure your phone, food, anything you need to do is with you. While roping guy thinks he's triggering you, you are doing something you enjoy or the thing you need to do after the game.

  • Wait for your turn. (Always check the screen, so you don't make the opponent wait. Don't become him/her.)
  • Play your turn.
  • Go back to the stuff you enjoy. (eating, watch a video or call/text someone etc..)

Make this a loop, remove bad emotion from it and you are good to go.

It's that easy, ladies and gentleman. Now no ropers can affect you. You are focused, you're gonna beat his/her butt. You are the best.

I hope this guide helps you. I'd love to hear your comments and ratings as well. Thank you for your time guys. Good luck.

CAN THE DEVELOPERS MAKE A QUICK FIRE GAME, 5 SECONDS PER CARD PLAYED,
BANKED SECONDS IF NO CARDS WERE PLAYED, TIMER RESET IF YOU ATTACK.
IM SURE PPL WILL APPRECIATE QUICKER MATCHES.

written by a roper who knows the point is to get you to look away, get distracted, and miss your turn. The best way to handle those cunts is beat them with shovels, fuck your non-violence

I feel so bad when I'm playing legends on my commute and I go through an area that has horrible reception. Trust me taking 9 years to Stolen Pant's isn't fun for me either, if my game doesn't recover after 2 turns I just concede.

Just rope 'em back, an eye for an eye.
Works every time.
