It really annoys me when people have played a winning hand and just drag it out for the full time they can. Case in example, you're both on or about 70 when they start their hand and they get 10 points in the opening 2 cards they play, they've hit 80 its game over. But noooo, they then use the full 90 seconds buying tavern cards, shuffling their deck, flipping patrons and or just sitting there letting the clock wind down. Like come on, don't be a knob and just click end turn so everyone can move on to the next game. This situation happens alot.

Not to stereotype but many Crow players are the WORST about that. They'll accumulate a boatload of coins with all their Crow combos and could just end the match by hitting their favorite patron, but, no, you must instead sit there and watch their joy of buying 20 Tavern cards before the game ends their turn for them because they took 1.5 minutes buying all those shiny cards.
Like, why? Seriously?

But from the other viewpoint. I had this one extremely memorable game where not long after it started my bubz woke up earlier than her schedule and wanted a bottle. We were only 3 or 4 turns into the game but I already had a few psjic cards and a vestment. Because she woke up crying I just shot straight up out of my chair and went to her, plus because I already had a pretty strong combo early I was hoping I could get back to the game in time.
By the time I'd given her her bottle and she was settled I was fully expecting to come back to see either a "Defeat" banner or "you have been disconnected". But noo, the game was still going, I was on 6 points and the opponent was on 37. They just ended their turn when I sat down but because I'd been afk for so many rounds I only had 19 seconds to play my hand but sitting in the Tavern were 2x Forest Wraiths and a Vestment, I snatched them up and the game continued. My opponent didn't remove the Wraiths and on my next turn it started with a shuffle where I got a rediculous draw of 3 pysjic and my 2 vestment cards which when combined with the 2 forest wraiths netted me over 40 points in the one hand. My opponent got nothing but gold cards the next hand and couldn't match my score and lost.

while true, there is no way or the system to "automatically" determine if thats the case
if you still got a white reward box for conceding, then you could just start and concede matches with the NPCs and net like half a dozen boxes per minute
so they dont give any reward for concession to avoid cases where it could be abused
if someone is losing and has given up but doesnt want to concede, just ends turn every time, i kind of feel like a prat playing my full turn. but i feel like they could change their mind in any round and come back in... so is there an unspoken etiquette for the "winner"? i try to get to 40 asap, e.g. using crow patron much earlier than i usually would, but i still feel i might be taking too long in a one-sided game?
I feel that the etiquette is that if someone wants the game to be over, you should end it. If you're beating them so badly they've given up, just end it. If there was no concede penalty, then I'd feel different. BUT there IS a concede penalty. So if you are getting such a 1-sided match that the other person has no chance, forcing them to choose between sitting there longer and having no chance or taking a 10 minute lock out is just degrading.
The worst I've ever seen was some crow spammer intentionally stopped their run at 79 points JUST so they could force me to play another hand where I couldn't win.
Then again, they picked crow. While I strongly dislike druid and mora for the RNG farm they are, it really seems to be the crow players that are the most toxic members of the community.
