First of all, i know this is a bad time to complain about minor issues, when there's bigger problems like the latest patch controversies and balancing in general.
Second, i apologize for the term i chose to describe these players, but i couldnt come up with a better one.
Im talking about the players who create decks specifically to complete a quest - whether its from a reward tree or from a faction challenge - as soon as possible. Usually its a player spamming artefacts to obviously complete a 'play x artefacts' daily quest. I know there is a LOT of players who do this and see it as fine, and will probably be offended by this post, but i will complain nonetheless...
Yes, facing these players provide easy wins, and faster than a regular match. That's why most players are or like to face these 'quest trolls'. For veterans who dont need wins and resources, and actually play to have fun, facing these players is a waste of time.
I thought about suggesting a way to report these players, since its a form of minor cheating (not to win but to complete quests). But we all know how often CDPR implements player's suggestions...
I will say however this is a symptom of the poor health state Gwent is in right now. It started with HC, but it got really bad with the iOS launch. This type of behaviour is associated with mobile games (and respective gamers), F2Ps, microtransactions and addictive/toxic behaviours that make players only care about having more instead of enjoying playing their game.
Back in beta, we didnt need daily login bonus to lure us into launching Gwent. But now, not only did CDPR started focusing on cosmetics and monetization, but the players also gained a new focus on getting cards and resources and neglecting the gameplay to the background. I do not see this as a sustainable path for Gwent in the long term.
Rant over.
