Triple Triad Request

I don't know if this has been said yet or not. I don't even know if this is the right place to put this. I just thought I'd put it out there and gather some opinion on the matter.

Over the weekend I decided to gather up some TT cards while waiting in queue for my duty. I'm currently leveling a NIN right now and I'm at around lvl 30 so the queue times can be quite atrocious for the most part. To kill time, I play TT and try to score any cards I may not have. The duty finder kept popping while I was in the middle of a TT game. I had no way to exit the game except to sporadically just place my cards wherever and try to get the game done as quickly as I could. Sometimes, the NPC would take upwards of 10-15 seconds to make a move. In the end, I was withdrawn from the duty finder and had a mark against me for the day of queuing for duty.

Sure, I could not register for a duty while I'm playing TT and vice versa, but I'd like to be able to work on other things (leves, certain timed quests, TT, etc.) and be able to exit (without penalty preferably) whenever I choose so I can get back to the heart of what the game is about: duties, dungeons, etc.

Thank you for reading,

100%. It's especially annoying when versing an NPC like Swift, who is only available for a short window and so every single match counts. If I have to throw a game it stings twice as hard.

Also, 10-15 seconds for an NPC to play a card? That's bizarre. I have 54 cards and the longest an NPC has taken to play a card has been like, 2 seconds maximum.

Yes, being able to close a game or something would be nice. I have often had to throw a game because DF popped. Sucks

The issue has been noticed by SE:

Hang tight a bit longer and if we should receive more information, we'll be sure to pass it along.

Thanks for posting this I was just about to post the same thing myself. Yes a Forfeit button would be nice. I try to throw the game as fast as possible but if DF pops right after you click the ok button before selecting your card deck your not going to have enough time and lost DF a few times due to it.

Yes. Especially when you have NPC's that have sudden death rules. Try to throw and guess what.. SUDDEN DEATH! The match that never ends. Yeah.. a forfeit option would be nice.
