Unjust Advantage/Player Abuse
I'm using Android.
2 Authority of Consuls, 1 Hallowed Priest, 1 Impassioned Orator, 1 Daxos Blessed By The Sun, and 1 Elesh Norn Mother F Machines on my battlefield.
1 Horn Of Gondor on the opponents battlefield with various other creatures (ie Ajani's Pridemate).
Opponent triggers Horn of Gondor turn after turn and only blocks my creatures with one creature each (at most) at any time.
Eventually Horn Of Gondor creates over 80 tokens in one turn.
The results should be: his move triggers my effects, he burns through his three timers, then burns through my three timers, then burns through his forfeit timer, and loses the game.
The actual results that currently happen are: he burns through his three timers, my three timers, and then I lose the game with no forfeit timers ever triggering.
This bug has been abused by multiple players since Lord Of The Rings expansion was released.
I don't see a workaround as this is an internal feature in the system that is automated on the server side.

They shouldn't lose because they are not the ones putting tons of triggers on the stack. That's your cards, that's your abilities on the stack, that's you not resolving them in a timely manner. Therefore, you are the one that should lose.
I am not "abusing" this as not only do I rarely ever encounter people playing these decks, but when I do the matches end well before it becomes a problem, either because I ruin their plans & they rage quit or I know I don't have anything in my deck that can turn it around so I just go on to the next match. ****, I assumed the match was supposed to end in a Draw if too much time passes with neither player actually being able to do anything because of comments previously made by some other people before you whined about it.
Yes, the game needs a way to quickly resolve a bunch of non-interaction triggers if both players click to "resolve all," but wotc have proven themselves incompetent when it comes to programming. Just look at all the complaints the last few weeks about every card from packs being marked as first or friend challenges not working. Or the last few months of bot matches against Sparky not working. Or the years of Draft wins being counted as losses.
Nothing I said demonstrated anything as abusive, exploitative, or needing fixed. You're just ******** that I'm pointing out that you shouldn't be getting undeserved free wins.
Doesn't matter how long you've been playing. If you're gonna be playing with decks used by skill-less losers who have to buy their wins, then I will speak to you as such.

And on a side note, I have been playing MTG since the first PC version came out in the 90's. You might want to re-evaluate your word choice when you assume that you are speaking to a novice. Thanks!!

They should lose because they caused it to trigger so many times that their forfeit timer would have expired first. And given the defensive nature of your words, you are more than likely one of the people abusing this bug.
Quite frankly, the game needs to have the ability to instantly distribute the counters WITHOUT triggering a timer at all during counter distribution as long as the player isn't choosing what creatures to put them on.
But again, thanks for demonstrating exactly WHY it is abusive, exploitative, and needs fixed.

I don't see why THEY should lose because YOU put a large amount of triggers onto the stack.
If you have a problem with it, maybe you should learn how to actually play the game rather than just buying your wins.
