Rewards for losing QB?

It occurs to me that you get 50 runes for losing a battle in any event and losing in story mode, but get nothing for losing in quick battle. I realize that many long-term players don't care about or want extra runes, but a newer and lower leveled player would definitely get use from getting 50 runes after losing a match in quick battle, but it's still in their benefit to win since that's not only more runes, but you don't end the match with a dead planeswalker, letting you battle again for more runes.

If I recall correctly, you only get 50 runes the first time you lose a story battle. Giving out runes for losing QBs would make runes worthless, since you could just enter and quit QBs repeatedly to get runes. This game is already grindy enough; I wouldn't want to be incentived to just hit the "quit" and "fight" buttons over and over again.

Hmmm possibly, though if you quit it drops you to very low life. The fight and quit technique to grind out runes could be avoided by making it drop your planeswalker to zero life instead meaning you'd have to wait the 5 minutes in order to use it again, or burn up a potion, in which case, unless you have a vast library of planeswalkers, you're better off just finishing the match to get your runes, or perhaps the runes wouldn't be awarded on a forfeit, only on a defeat.

Either way, let's be honest, runes aren't terribly valuable for established players. I'm just thinking of something that could help newer players get somewhere with their planeswalkers.

I remember, that it was still like that when I started the game. But I can't really tell when they took that out.

I agree that they could have just leave it as it was.
