Active Players?

Active Players?
Interesting that 431 players have joined the CMX2 ladder but only 70 are active. I wonder why that is? do they quickly get discouraged after losing and disappear?any thoughts?

Many players sign up but never play.At least my experience.
You never get an answer to a challenge.Or they answer, but want to play a completely different game, not the one they signed up for.
Others only play one or two games, lose, and are no longer seen.Especially newbies and players who have been out for a few years are very unreliable in the morale.
70% of the players reported here are trash files.

RE: Active Players?
Yeah, it is a bummer. Out of that 431 around 100 have only played one game and left. In fact there are only 141 that have played 10 games or more.

Still a bigger population of players that you can find on your street or even your home town.

@ A Canadian Cat

That may be true, but you will also find less and less reliable opponents.
If I have 10 games running, usually only 2-3 are ended regularly.In the other games, the opponents stop reporting at some point.Or send at ever greater intervals, first every day, then it will be weeks, then months until nothing comes up.
That was better in the past. From 2011-2015 the morale was much better, you always managed 100 games a year.
It is extremely annoying and time-consuming to find opponents with morale and interest.

RE: Active Players?
If any of you want to play a game, I can squeeze one in ... if it is not too big. I always maintain a good turn rate and I always finish each battle. If RL will delay my turns, you will be the first to know. I use DB and H2HH. Plus, I need to post a ladder result to keep me “active.”

First come, first served.

RE: Active Players?
I avoid playing this game online because of 1 minute turns.
