Arena mode is sometimes crazy

Hi, I’m having an issue that I don’t really understand. Several times, I’ve been kicked from games for running out of time, even though I play my games several times a day, in the order they are presented to me by BGA. In fact, I often reach a point where I have no games available to play at all bec...

So what's your point? That you can actually be top 5 with only a 8-10 win streak? Or that the top 5 are not "the best players"? Neither. It’s simply a suggestion to make Arena mode more dynamic, with more movement, rather than just aiming to reach a certain position and then hold on to it...

The only way to reach the top five is to win 20 games in a raw. [...] It is almost impossible to win 20 games in a raw.

The proposition is not about playing at the beginning or at the end, but to keep a minimum activity. A player with a 70% win rate over 20 games will be ranked higher than a player with a 75% win rate over 200 games. For general Elo ranking it's ok... but Arena just become a field for taking a positi...

I can understand why the overall ELO rating system does not take into account how frequently someone plays. However, I think Arena should work differently, since the whole point of Arena is to be a competition over a limited period of time. In my opinion, there should be some kind of rating decay fo...
