Roping cooldown/timeout
After a player times out (due to roping), the client automatically puts the player in "timeout." Meaning they are unable to access any portion of the client for 10 minutes. If it's done again, the timeout is 30 minutes, 3rd time for 60 minutes. 4th time is 24 hours. On the 5th infraction it should flag the players account for review, where it can be determined what the next steps should be.

Game stopped/eternal roping
My opponent never made a move, but started roping (timing out) before the first turn of the game. The rope burned to its end but hasn't stopped. It's been over 10 minutes now. I can concede (I think) but if I don't then the game is stopped and endless.

Please take action on the roping plague
Roping is killing Arena. Please do something to stamp out this inconsiderate, sore-loser behaviour.
Various potential roping solutions have been offered on this forum before, so I won’t repeat those here, but suffice to stay that there’s a groundswell of angst brewing in the community for WoTC’s lack of action on this issue.
Reporting players for misconduct also seem to have now effect, as I’ve reported over 400 and keep coming up against the same roping oppoentns.

Solutions to combat stalling / roping?
Does WotC actually do anything about players who stall / rope games anymore? Reading the forums, it seems like they cracked down on it once 3 years ago, but no longer take active measures against it.
I suggest adding a rope under the profile tab that gets shorter each time your account is reported for roping, and once your rope runs out, your account is banned. That way people know their are real consequences for their actions, and that WotC takes player conduct seriously.

Roping
Username WIN is a time-wasting, stalling, roper. He roped me every single turn of the game. I don't know exactly when the game started, but I'm guessing that the game had already been going on for about 10 minutes when I checked my time at 1:32 pm, and I started taking screenshots from 1:35 pm to 2:06 pm as shown on the metadata from the screenshots. The game ended at 2:12 pm. I roped him back to show him how it feels, but I never let my bar get low enough to use a timeout as you can see from…

Do something against the roping / loser players.
Every day, there are more and more people roping and being AFK when they know the game is lost.
Please take action against the roping/loser players because things are already going out of control.
If WOTC cannot take care of their own product and community, these players will find a way to destroy what is good in Magic.
Reports, Ban or just move them to play without the roping extra time.
It is easy to auto track how many times players are using this. And if they have it above a limit after some games, they can have their …7 votes -
Griefing/Roping is ruining the game.
Players roping while losing without being penalized is the second most obnoxious thing in this game after the rigged matchmaking, we're already tired of reporting this abusing behavior, when are you going to do something about it?!

Report Players for Roping
There needs to be a way to report players for intentionally stalling games. I just spent over a half hour playing against someone who roped every single turn.

Solution: Roping (reward based, not punishment based)
Most of the anti roping ideas come back to detecting/punishing the ropers.
I've been starting to realist the solution isn't about the roping player, rather about the other player.
In any non ranked, random queued game add the following well publicised rule:
If you win a game to a roping opponent (an opponent who has roped for >80% of the entire duration of the match and/or has lost to roping timeout) - double your gold and XP track rewards for the game. Make sure both the roping player and the normal player are notified of this bonus at the end…

Systematically stamp out deliberate stalling/roping
Opponents deliberately stalling/roping before death (as a sore-loser tactic to try get the other player to concede) has become so commonplace, that I doubt I'm the only one being driven away from MTGA.
Removing the "earned" timeouts would help alleviate this problem, because all they do is provide the players the "ammunition" they need to stall later in the the game.
I'd also advise shortening the timeout periods, or scaling this depending on the players' ranks (i.e. beginner players get longer turns than matches between veteran players).
In addition, proving a "report player" button directly within the app would…

Report Function for roping intentionally
Countless times in my experience (and I'm sure thousands of others experiences) has the opponent decided that they are losing the match or that it is not going their way. No one is a stranger to flooding out, getting mana screwed, or simply not finding the answers that your deck can provide and I understand this frustration; it is simply in the nature of a game where you draw cards at random and sometimes it sucks. Taking the intentional action of AFK'ing or simply waiting for all of your ropes or accumulated time-outs in spite of this frustration is, however,…

Just uninstalled due to Roping/AFK players
Ever since the debut of this game I've ran into too many people roping after a clear loss. I've even ran into people just afk at the mulligan stage. This is annoying and has made me uninstall the app. I'm convincing all my coworkers, friends, and family do the same since WOTC hasn't implemented a clear plan to prevent any of this. No bans, no warnings, no reporting, nothing.

Actually do something about the roping problem
WOTC, PLEASE do something about this problem! For years this has been ongoing and you have done nothing to improve it. This is the #1 most complained about aspect of MTG Arena and you have been absolutely silent on the matter for YEARS. Reduce the turn time; reduce the amount of timeouts people can save up; add an in-game conduct report feature; BAN players who rope; prevent ability to stall by turning on manual control. DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING, PLEASE! And don't tell me we can report it via Wizard support, I know we can do that, and it's not enough,…

Please do more to stop "roping"
I am constantly facing opponents who "rope" to try to force a concession. Sometimes it happens multiple times a day. I cannot count the number of times it has happened. If a player is losing and they leave the game to try to get me to concede, it is rude, immature and pathetic. The problem is, this behavior is incentivized. If I don't feel like waiting around until they are forced to concede, but rather concede myself, then that player wins that game and potentially gets win rewards. They are, in effect, rewarded for this behavior. Please do more to…

Please improve reconnection time / roping on disconnect
Right now, when the game loses connection to the server, it is better to force quit and start it again rather than wait for it to reconnect. On my internet, the former usually loses me one turn (and all 30-second extensions) while the latter often times me out of the entire game. Granted, in most games losing a turn also means losing the game.
I'd love if the game could handle this better, as disconnects have become too frequent for me to continue playing. Rather than tackling hard-to-debug network issues (there is nothing useful in the logs) I think it'd…

Enable banning players that abuse rope
Some players abuse the roping system, clearly to annoy the opponent. It's extremely detrimental to the experience and to the community. Yes, you can report players but frankly no one know if anything happens at all after that.
There should be a feature that if a player ropes every single priority more than 10 times on a game it allows you to ban that player so you don't ever play against that player again.

Opinion: goblins, board wipes, and roping have ruined Magic
I've been playing this game for over two decades, and MTGA has spoiled it for me. There's no fairness, no sense of community, and no games go deeper than turn four.

ROPING BUG
Context BO3:
Game 1: my oponent started roping me in every single step of my turns and his turns. He ran out of timeouts, but the game wouldn't force concede on his side. I waited like 30 seconds on EVERY single STEP of my turns and his turns, for 8/10 turns.
Game 2: more of the same "gaming strategy/bug"
Game 3: The game decided SOMEHOW that I had less time on the clock that my oponent. And I reached 0:00 and the game autoconceded.How is the time mechanic working?????

rope
You guys need to penalize rope burners. At least in anything outside of standard play.
Once, fine after that, you've given an exploit that is used to an obnoxious advantage.
"give people a means to exploit a situation and they will". At least in person there are penalties for these behaviors.
