@LoewenMitchell has there ever been talk about adding mechanisms to the game, especially with quests coming back, to protect players getting griefed by turn 1 leavers?

You could wind up with something like “trigger X deathrattles, attack X times, and have X minions die” as your requirements. That player has their quest completion set back by a turn if they wind up facing the ghost, which will often cost them a chance at top four.

@AaronCLerner There are ongoing discussions (though don't have any plans/changes atm). It's a tricky problem because for every scenario where matching against a ghost feels bad, there are more scenarios matching against a ghost feels good (since it's typically an easy fight/free win)

@AaronCLerner (To be clear, not trying to invalidate the negative feelings of matching against an empty board ghost with combat-progressing quests/heroes. Mostly trying to show that it's not an easy problem to solve without creating other problem ripples)
