If you want your ten ranked games done quick, rush to turn 5 then concede. The concede button will tell you if one must hang around longer to tick the quest, but its usually about 5 turns.
By âclear precedentâ you mean âI know a guy who said thatâŠâ. Thatâs an anecdote not clear proof of anything.
I am not saying itâs impossible but very little concrete proof and I doubt we will know for sure.
It is not an isolated incident and there is a button specifically to report this behavior, but if you want to deny reality, by all means you are free to do as you please.
I did not indicate that these types of behaviors always result in sanction, but there is precedent that it can result in sanctions.
That is enough for me to not do it, but your mileage may vary.
An event happened to someone I know.
That event happened to them a 2nd time.
Thats not concrete precedence. thats an anecdote. It is still supporting your point you wish to make. But it isnt an absolute this will happen to everyone thats like the person you knew.
Change the event to anything else that happened twice to said person, like they totalled their car. Twice. All because they drove a Kia both times like a jerk. It doesnt mean everyone that drives a kia like a jerk will total their vehicle based on that event happening to that one person twice.
But it does lead you to safely assume a likelihood can be generally applied that people that drive like jerks tend to total their cars. But it doesnt mean they actually will as if its set in stone.
Same arguments different nouns ands verbs. lol. But anecdotes can be use to persuade an argument, but shouldnt be seen as broad brush stroke set in stone precedence.
The issue is widely reported in other forums. I am not talking about the same person twice.
I said as much.
Which means I can safely assume that you do not actually read.
Yes, I have conceded on turn 5 and gotten credit towards âplayâ quests. I always get credit towards quests when conceding on turns earlier than 5, provided someoneâs life total is at 15 or less.
Below are pictures of me playing an awkward Handbuff Paladin hand against Flood Paladin, and me conceding on turn 5. The concede button is red, but I did get credit towards quests.

How does concede button tell you if you must hang around longer to tick the quest? On my mobile device the concede button always looks red.
When you have an active quest and hit concede, a second popup appears with words to the effect, âIf you leave early this game wonât count for an active quest: confirm?â

How does one become to enjoy first taking the time to âtank their MMRâ so as to then steamroll less skilled players? That being fun is foreign to me.
Edit: think I replied to the wrong person, sorry.
Ya, I have a ditto response to this kind of behavior. For me, it falls into a âtaking candy from a babyâ kind of behavior.
Also, I recently was explaining to a friend, who I used to play Magic with, about the prevalence of âbarcodeâ players in Arena, and his response was, âwhy would anyone do that.â

Mate, gambling sites put âGamble responsiblyâ so they should want you to, right?
I do not deny reality, I just say that anecdote is not a proof. You did not show that there is a precedent, that is the thing.
We do not argue whether Blizzard is banning people for deliberately losing or even if it is wise to refrain from doing so. We are arguing whether there is proof that Blizzard IS BANNING people for deliberately losing. And you failed to provide proof.
You know whatâs widely reported on the internet? Voter fraud in 2020 US election and that vaccines cause autism. You clearly have no idea what is a convincing proof.
Voter fraud happens every presidential election, unless you believe dead people actually cast their own votes. 
Aerthis? Or are there more similar cases?
I donât doubt this. What I doubt is that your experiences are sufficient for you to make informed decisions.
They come up enough on reddit to be more common than people want to admit.
Further, RidiculousHat has become involved in several of them to get bans reversed when itâs in error.
Iâve seen enough evidence to know it happens.
While technically a true statement, there is no evidence that it happens on a scale large enough to alter the outcomes of elections. Trumpâs own Attorney General confirmed this and told Trump as much. Every GoP state AG that has gone on a witch hunt for illegal voters has failed miserably to demonstrate anything on a scale large enough to alter elections.

This is especially true in authoritarian countries that pretend to be democracies.
Otherwise, people donât trust computer voting because of the possibility of hacking and Iâve also heard of dead people voting.
But I wonât name any country, because after all, the forum is not at all suitable for talking about politics.
Blizzard automated lots of things, including bans. So you can pretty much get banned for playing the game.
Iâm sure it has ways of detecting bots.
It seems that almost all people in prison say they are innocent. And maybe thatâs true for 0.01% of themâŠ
Probably a stupid question but i never found a option to report a player in hearthstone: so how you reach this option? Only had one occurence where i would wish to report one in Battlegrounds Duo who sell his board and donât even surrender (so we both lose points + time waste).
While I did not actually report this player for anything, I did take some screenshots to show the menu options under âcheatingâ to show you how you could report a player that you just played.

This is not a stupid question at all, I wondered the same thing when I started.
You see your last 5 opponents in your friends list, at the bottom left (the little guy).
Unfortunately, you cannot report your teammate in-game.
I came across a player who bought a card and played it.
And he left !
NB : I written before looking at the image.

Itâs not about how they vote, itâs about how you count, isnât it? 
All those âdemocraticâ elections in general, that is.
You know, thatâs almost like saying, âI donât wanna point my finger at Johnny (Jenny, BillyâŠ), butâŠâ â you kinda did anyway in a passive-aggressive fashion.
By the way, leaders in countries dubbed âauthoritarianâ (both the countries and their particular leaders) by propaganda factories a.k.a. âfree and independent mainstream mediaâ (also âreliable sourcesâ) tend to be elected via most transparent and direct procedures (in plain words, the guy for whom the majority of people voted wins) and/or have high approval ratings, say, about 70%-80% or so. Conversely, very âdemocraticâ leaders tend to be âelectedâ in most contrived ways that are hard to even comprehend and unpack (âYou didnât truly believe that the majority of voters decides the outcome, did you now? What a naive victim of authoritarian propaganda you are, we will enlighten you!â) â itâs mostly how the results are proccessed (what do they call it, âJerryâs meanderingâ or something like it?) â at best (a coup dâĂ©tat or good old plain usurpation of office will also do for a âbeacon of democracyâ nowadays), and/or enforce decisions, often fateful, bypassing their own parliaments and not even bothering with the opinion of their voters (who cares about such stupid and irrelevant things in a free and democratic country anyway?), and/or are happy if their approval ratings reach as much as about 30% or so. Whatâs more, the most fundamental and direct expression of peopleâs opinion and will, namely a referendum, is generally incompatible with modern âdemocracyâ â itâs mostly a resort of those pesky âauthoritarian dictatorsâ. I could name multiple examples, but, since weâre not talking about politics here , I donât see the need right now.
In this light, the popular joke that democracy is the dictatorship of democrats seems to contain a very small modicum of⊠joking.
