The situation is probably familiar to everyone here. You set up lethal for the next turn, and you opponent ropes the turn, and make you wait to finish him/her off.
Personally I find this very rude, and I'm sure there are situations where trying to find a way out is the reason for the rope to burn. Is this behaviour in anyway acceptable? Have you ever done it?, if so why.
Please don't mistake this for a salt thread. I am simply curious as to why people don't just concede or pass the turn and accept defeat.
Should people that rope while being inactive get a 5 minutes shut out or something like that, should there be consequences?
I've done it before. Then I realized i'm just being a salty baby and wasting my time, my opponent's time, AND still losing the game. And I can also picture my oppenent giggling at me which makes me want to go kick a puppy and punch a toddler in the nose.
I think what's worse is people that just up and leave the game after you make a big play and you have to wait through several turns until the game decides to tell you that "Your oppenent has left".
I'm a rapid turn taker and I would prefer to shave some time off of each turn. Half the time would be about right...45 seconds per turn. If it takes you longer than that to decide what to do, you're doing something wrong...or there's something wrong with your medulla ablongada.
They are playing out the legal amount of turn time they have, why should they be punished for that? Tab and watch youtube while they sit there doing the same.
Just a possibility: The player closed the HS client without conceding (on PC, or more likely on mobile). Maybe he was in a hurry anyway (something/someone waiting for him) and was delaying that other thing until the time he realized there can be no win. Happened to me once or twice when I really was in a hurry, and I do admit it's slightly rude on my part.
Of course, some just rage-quit (got up from PC, put down the phone/tablet), which again is nothing personal, just an emotional - albeit immature - response.
When that happens I usually attribute it to me laying down the smackdown so hard the opponent basically went. "Well that's enough of this bullshit RNG clown fiesta for the day." and press Quit over concede.
There are times where I know my opponent is going to win, but he takes for-freaking-ever to play all his turns. When that happens sometimes I'll get up and go start another thing. Last night I started filling the sink to do dishes, went back, and he was roping out his turn. Playing cubelock, of course, the same deck he's probably played for months and he still can't figure it out lol.
Losing isn't what frustrates me. It's my opponent taking forever to do anything. And when he finally does something that I see as the complete optimal play (since I know everything in his deck, because it's just standard cubelock most of the time), I question his intelligence and it makes me mad that there are people that dumb and slow in the world.
Or, you know, he just got up to let the dog out/in. But cubelocks just tilt me to no end haha.

If you purposely extend the match to waste my time, especially to get a lengthy fatigue victory... I have no qualms with wasting your time as well. I can walk away and do something else while the rope burns. Some of the decks out there right now are completely toxic to the playerbase too. This being said, I don't do it often, but some people are just trolls.
from my experience the people that seem to rage quit/rope the most are the ones playing tier 1 netdecks and they don't like it when they lose to someone playing something off meta so they rage quit. lol

Not all decks have the same complexity, most turns are pretty obvious and you don't need more than 10 seconds to think and execute your turn, but sometimes you have several good options and you need to decide what's the best thing to do and it could take more than 45 seconds.
Animation is another important factor to consider, if you do multiple actions the animation takes big portion of your turn, specially if you do actions that affected by previous actions (then you can queue it) like drawing a card or playing a card with random outcome.
The best example is setting up a defile turn against big board, it takes time to figure out what trades to do and what damaging spells to use, sometimes you can waste your entire turn searching for a good defile just to find out that no matter what you do you can't clear all the board.
I did this to someone playing Cubelock who literally roped every turn when all they were playing was board clears until they had their god combo. It was petty, but don’t waste my damn time.
I do this whenever I think my opponent is doing something annoying, like playing aggro decks on casual, playing time wasting decks like Razakus or Big Priest.
It's a kind of revenge for me and I'm not sorry for this.
Nothing should be done because you cannot penalize players if their network drops them, if there is an emergency and they need to go, if their computer crashes, or if the HS servers crash or hiccup.

Thanks for you thoughts.
They do that to irritate people, like you are right now :)
Top deck is cheat

A win is a win in my book... if they want to waste their time, that's fine with me.
They aren't wasting my time, since ultimately I'll get the win.

Lmao rage quit because this,must be a troll thread.
And don't worry i don't rope.
You get the win, what more can be done? Ultimately, these people have to live with themselves at the end of their miserable day.
When that happens I usually attribute it to me laying down the smackdown so hard the opponent basically went. "Well that's enough of this bullshit RNG clown fiesta for the day." and press Quit over concede.
Maybe they're going through their outs and trying to see if there's any way they can survive another turn.

Just laugh and drink your fill of their tears while their walk of shame turns into a victory. Babies suck. It’s a fact.
Roping doesn't equal Rage Quitting you tool

Rightly or wrongly I hit end turn and give my opponent the opportunity to take his/her killing blow. You’ve earned it, take it.
If they fuck about rather than just take it, I concede.
