Why didn't my forfeit count towards quest

I am sure it would be easy enough to look up the rule and find out but that isn’t the point of this post. The point is to vent some bile while pointing out it is perfectly reasonable when you’re facing a 15/12 on turn 3 with nothing in hand to help and no way to deal with it in your deck for at least 3 more turns even if you do draw a card to make it go away forfeiting is perfectly logical. You have so slim a chance of winning why play it out. Why do I have to go through the whole being a punching post.

This feeling was compounded by I wasn’t really wanting to play Hearthstone. I just wanted to do my quest and go play Neverwinter Nights with my friends online so it was supposed to be a quick jump on. Do the quest in half an hour or less the go play the game I want to be playing. Well not really but it is what my friends are playing and I’m willing to stick with them for social until we wander back to a game I prefer in 3 to 8 months. Instead I get two extremely long games because rng is against me so I lost two games I was highly favored to win. Now on this last game where I can finally end this horrible session I play and there it is. He won. Time to quit and collect my reward and go play with my friends… wtf why no quest complete. The amount of rage I played through another really sucky rng game for me with the guy roping to the last moment every turn. $#!$!!! I couldn’t even go play with my friends afterwards. I went off to read during my social time which isn’t good. (Yes, as an introvert I do schedule time to be social, just like eating and exercise since if I didn’t I’d never be social in any way and I would become a hermit. Before covid I even had a special day once a week where the social activity had to be something face to face.)

For future reference: games will “count” for quest progress if you make it to turn 10 or you concede while under 15 HP. Otherwise, it will not count.

That being said, if you don’t really feel like playing Hearthstone, you probably shouldn’t play Hearthstone. If the game feels like a chore, it’s OK to take a day off. Maybe log to reroll the daily quest if it’s one of the 50g ones, but you don’t have to play any matches. The quests will be there tomorrow. And if you miss one quest every now and then, that’s OK too!

UItimately, games are supposed to be fun. If you’re not having fun with a game, why bother playing it?
