Is there a way to add a setting to only play other people that have paid for their accounts?  If the issue is the free accounts, let us only play against other paying members that take it seriously.

Johnsy is doing it to me right now, just blatantly waiting for me to resign.  Definitely takes all of the fun out of the site.  if this is a recurring problem that is not dealt with and the only recourse is to resign and blacklist, I would definitely question renewing my membership.  There has to be a better way to deal with this strategy.

Played on original Isotropic server and every option since

1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
   This is of no value to me.  Perhaps if I were really board on an airplane I would use it, but all of the value is in live games to me.
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
   There are always lots of games available, I wouldnt use a bot at all.
3. A strong bot.
   Same as above.
4. Options for timed games
   Love this idea, I greatl enjoy playing an engaged opponent that is quick with the cards.
5. Options for undo settings
   I guess this is a nice to have, but from a priority standpoint it is fairly low
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
   It would be great to have online tournaments.  However I wouldnt envision it as just setting it up as one for you and your friends.  There should be some structure for finding a tournament with similar skilled players.  This was done really well on internet chess club back in the day.  Adhoc tournaments and then a tournament leaderboard of some sort.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
   I enjoy playing with random people, not certain I would use this.
8. More translations (to what language?)
   I wouldnt use this.
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
   Personally i would go the other way with this.  I always enjoyed the text based implementation on isotropic.  I would be very interested in a simplier lay out with less graphics.  The present UI looks fantastic, but for those of us that play all the time the animations and graphics are window dressing.
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
   Yes this would be great.  Recent changes to be aware you are under an attack duration are great.  There are still some big ones missing (having debt while on black market comes to mind as something that looks like a bug)
   
   One thing I would really like to see added is a better in game scoring UI.  The end of game scoring update is great.  In game it would be so valuable to toggle over to that view as well.  Specifically I am thinking of when you need 3 of a card for points or to know which two cards are your highest count for the other event card.  Sure you should be able to card count it most of the time.  One of the other implementations allowed this view in game (or at least a count of how many of each card you have presently).
10. Option to hide the log
   Low priority, I find it quite helpful
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
   Good idea, but I use an iphone, see below
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
   Would love this.  I play on the ipad sometimes, but it isnt great.  Most of the time I have to spin up an AWS workspaces app and play using their UI as if I were on a desktop.
13. Downloadable game logs
   I wouldnt use this for much, perhaps it would enable some of the more advanced metrics on other sites.  I remember seeing strength of your play with specific cards, that was interesting and I dont think it is presently being done.
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
   Sure this would be nice to have.

   I'll add another suggestion here, I would like the option to ban someone temporarily.  There are times when I get annoyed with someone and dont wnat to play them again in 24 or 72 hours, but i don't want to add them to my permanent ban list becuase I will never remember to take them off.  Would be nice to have a timer on the ban (or permanent for the real ass hats)
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
   Not important for me
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
   Not important for me

I am just going to add a suggestion at the bottom.  I haven't read anyone elses comments (as was requested) so I am not certain if this has been suggested already.

I would really like to see real time rating updates.  Only getting these once a day is a real drag, it would be great to see how your rating changes on a more regular basis.
