Mobile Filtered Out

Post by Geomattics »

Playing against people on mobile devices is the worst. Can't you please create a setting on the game filters to remove the option to match with mobile players? You do it for other criteria, so why not this?

Not sure how a post from three years ago is supposed to address this problem. It should still be an option.

It has been discussed before. If you feel strongly about it, use the Bugs & suggestions feature on the Community page and create something to vote on.

Also, a person can switch between devices during a game, so are you proposing that you want to filter the device they start on, then prohibit them from switching?

I prefer using the karma system to handle this. Some games may be better suited for mobile than others, but it's up to the user how they connect and as long as they keep up it's no problem. If they can't keep up and/or disconnect and get expelled, karma penalties will be assessed and you can filter by that.
