Hi,
Recently I face a higher amount of rage quitters.
(In Anonymous games.)
It seems that there is a defined time limit of 2 minutes.
(So you definitely have to wait 2 minutes until you can claim for a draw or a victory).
For games like 15+15 this is understandable.
I believe this waiting time is just to avoid that people with connection issues
will lose the game.
However, I think 2 minutes waiting time for games like 3+2 is too much.
If someone really has a bad Internet connection, s/he must choose something different than 3+2.
It's neither my fault if my opponent's Internet is bad, nor is it their fault if mine is bad.
In my opinion there should be an updated waiting time table.
For example something like:
120 seconds for Classical
60 seconds for Rapid
30 seconds for Blitz
15 seconds for Bullet
To avoid missunderstandings:
I'm not speaking about the "thinking time".
I'm speaking about the time when your opponent leaves the game (gray icon instead of green)
and you have to wait for nothing.
And yes, sometimes I have connection problems too, but I can't remember that a reconnect took 2 minutes...
Most times it took less than 10 seconds.
Best regards
