I think you guys need to make the multiplayer less prone to lag/disconnect or else adjust the rules. It's understandable that it should be kind of glitchy at an early stage, but because we bet gold on a match, these glitches are expensive. I have lost count of the number of times that I was about to win a high-stakes match when it suddenly froze and simply took my wager instead. I'm guessing it took my opponent's wager, too.
The result for me has been that I usually don't play Augmentors unless I'm certain to have perfect network conditions, which often excludes during public transit. Or I only play tier 0. There's little consequence if I get disconnected while playing Spells of Genesis, by comparison, so now I save my SoG action points for when Augmentors won't work, like more remote areas and certain tunnels
