A permanent opt-out feature for the in-game "did you have fun" survey
Hello MTGA players and devs,
The in-game "did you have fun" question shows up a lot more recently, typically once every three to five games. There's a skip button for those of us that don't want to answer, but then a few games later it just asks us again.
Would it be possible to get a more permanent skipping feature? Some kind of checkmark in the game settings where we can opt out of being asked?
Kind regards,
Daniel

Lately I've randomly been getting the "did you enjoy the match" after a game, but 1) it's not very common and 2) you only get to skip, say you didn't have fun, or say you had fun.
I think that, even if we don't get to give written feedback, I think we should get to choose how much we enjoyed the match on a scale (e.g. very not fun, not fun, neutral, fun, lots of fun). This might give more detailed and useful feedback.
It's true that people will just put that they had the most fun when they win, and the least fun when they lose, but 1) I suspect this is being done now anyway and 2) at least by giving more detailed feedback options, the option to give more specific responses could make this data more meaningful than before.
I also think that there should be a setting you can turn on that will allow you to submit this "did you enjoy the match" survey after every game. It should specifically be something you have to opt in for; as for people like me I don't mind doing feedback on each game (it's one easy click!) but many people wouldn't like having to do this every game. Even if a minority of players were to submit after every game, it will hopefully be worth implementing as it would still be more data to use than before.
Lots of my games (win or lose!) are fun and I think it's important to give that feedback, even if it's redundant (people play Arena because they enjoy it all in all, or so I hope). Also there are games where someone intentionally uses their timeouts and stalls when in a clearly losing situation, and other not-so-enjoyable situations. It's a bummer when you don't get the "did you have fun" survey in these games.
Depending on how the survey data is used, maybe none of this is necessary, but I at least thought it to be worth considering.

Stop asking if I "had fun" in a match.
The only thing this does is insinuate that you have or want to have an algorithm that matches players according to some definition of "fun" which is based on the cards contained in a player's deck.
The fun in MTG has always been, and still is, is being matched against players whose deck could be anything. Stop doing this "survey", it is not good for the game.

The message asking if you had fun has reappeared. Each time I have got it was after a loss so the natural answer is NO. What "feedback" do you get from that? It is another totally annoying part of MTG Arena and needs to be removed permanently or it needs to have context rather than just a straight Yes/No
