Something to consider;
there are just 106 M44 Arena players above bronze at the moment. Hopefully this will grow over time.
However, at the other extreme - Ticket To Ride - also released new this season - already has 1207
elite players.
My point is that if you play TTR, BGA will much more often be able to match you with a player in a similar points range.
Oh, I do get that there's the problem of actually having enough players within your level, I imagine it's the same for any new or small game.
But the problem is that you can't refuse a game that is literally just a no-win situation for you. That seems counter to the idea of ARENA giving some extra incentive to play on BGA.
If anything, as soon as I arrived at Platinum, had I been smart, I should have stopped playing. Because every time I've been at seven or eight points, I've been paired with a super strong bronze player (many of whom have come over from Days of Wonder, and have thousands of games under their wings) to lose it all again.
All I'm asking is why it's not possible to skip a match before it begins - as you can in normal play. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
