Friendly mode is awesome. You don't have to worry about ELO or any penalties. Yet I was just obliterated. Is that okay, or is it more of a talking point in friendly mode that, even though you can get however many routes, there isn't really a limit on how many you can choose? Is it still cool to grab...

Now I'm at 186 elo after 3 days ago being at 310. I feel a lot of people cheat or get around ways to either make sure you lose or make you give up. And I've had to give up a lot.

I'm not mad, upset, angry, or whatever you would have. But I bring this up because I think it's weird and damaging to me being able to play on here.

I'm talking about people who specifically block ALL possible routes in our around your route. They aren't even working on their own tickets at that point, just blocking everyone else's.

But I can't just ...

ELO thiefs is there such a thing, or people who do this?

I just finished the Ticket to Ride all maps new collection, and I lost 17 ELO to someone who had a ton more than me. I think I should've lost like 5 at the most, since the calculation isn't much when said player is more higher ranking.
