MPQ while out and about?

edited March 2015 in MPQ General Discussion
Forgive the random nature of my post, but I'm wondering if anyone has seen people playing MPQ on their devices while out and about... I ask because I took my family to Disneyland this week for my son's fourth birthday and saw a guy playing the game on his phone while we were both waiting for Big Thunder Mountain. It's not like people ever play games while waiting for something, right? icon_rolleyes.gif Still, I got a kick out of it.

So, where have you seen someone playing the game?

    I've seen plenty of people playing match-3 games on the train, but it's never MPQ

    Exactly, I've seen others playing Candy Crush and others, so those games are not all that uncommon.

    I can't imagine playing MPQ while out and about. There's so much focus on "finish fast and shield up", that I feel like you risk too much by doing so. Good mobile games let you pause and continue later. MPQ has no real pause feature (if you background the game, you risk forfeiting the match if your phone closes the app completely), and stopping mid match is asking to be attacked (plus your heroes don't heal while you're in a match).

    It's so hard to look in other people's cars while I'm playing...I don't even know what they play while they drive!

    I only play out & about either the event is running out of time (i.e. sneak in extra points) or something not entirely important e.g. DDQ (as you can do it anytime within 24hrs) or PvP simulator when you have a few minutes to kill. I admit, I have not witnessed anyone play MPQ.

    I normally play prologue or PVE if i am out and in a queue.

    Only once I saw the bloke in front of me in a queue, playing MPQ as well, and I was like "oh, maybe i should recruit him into my alliance!"
