This is, to me, the biggest problem with Catan online. It's beyond frustrating when players leave--mostly, I think, because a) when it's early, they don't like their positioning; 
later, they're losing and bail; or c) they're way too impatient.
What Catan needs to do is two thing: a) FIX THE DELAY PROBLEM; and find consequences beyond Karma score--which no one cares about and doesn't really affect anything..
