Please don't tease me with Arena games when I can't join them

Post by Jellby »

When looking for open tables (manual mode), I often see the "Some players are available for Arena mode" message with the "Play in Arena mode now" button, even when my ELO is below 100 and I cannot therefore play in Arena. I'd rather only see this message and button for games I can actually play in Arena. It's especially annoying in games where it's next to impossible to find players (at least in real time), so just playing more games to increase ELO is not that easy.

I agree, and what goes along the same issue: showing arena games available, but then not seating you to an existing one, because the player waiting gave you a red thumb or restrictions dont match otherwise.

I assume it also shows you arena games that you can't join anyway because of mismatching settings (E.g. lower league or conflicting time controls)

Yes, ideally games with conflicting settings or red thumbs would be hidden too. But I understand that could be more complex and computation/communication demanding. But just hiding Arena games when ELO < 100 is something that could almost be done at CSS level.

This doesn't seem horribly difficult to implement to me!
