The dice roll sucks ass

Too many cheaters It ruins everything It s horrible when people cheat because they pretty much spit in your face with the toxic things they say in the chat They know they ll get away with it as you can see in the history there is loads of games where they cheat and nothing gets done about it I ve reported so many games i have lost count but nothing happens as far as I can tell You don t even get your karma restored because who wants to sit through a game like that so you exit and having a lower karma which means that the nicer good people that used to be on the site end up getting kicked off because they think you are a quitter There are quitters with low karma too and that s really lame because they often quit near the start of the game and then you have to wait ages for the now zombie bot to make a move It s completely ridiculous There s also lots of bugs on the site which makes it really annoying There aren t enough short cut keys and the one that there is to skip your turn doesn t always work Don t bother playing the game with bots as the hardest ones are just a walk over with little intelligence and I have won many times with 10 points to their 2 points and you start on 2 in a one on one battle and I m an average player Some other things that are annoying with the site is that when you join a game the host may have set the point limits to some ridiculous number that means nobody can win or changed some setting to something unexpected so you have to scroll down to check everything as once the game starts its not uncommon for people to be surprised by things as its not displayed I could ramble on and on about the many problems but the worst is just the attitude of people in the chat and the obvious swearing even if it is kind of hidden by missing letters out or misspelling and nasty things are often said like getting called an idiot etc I wish they d just get rid of the chat because it adds nothing You also get people that give up and rather than quitting because they don t want to lose karma they just give all there cards away to someone for one card and then you get the people that accept these trades and it ruins the game that way It s a frustrating game anyways but with all these other frustrations on top it gets a bit much Also I don t know how this site is so similar to the official Catan game and they get away with copying so much of it I m sure there s more things to rant about but you get the picture
