I can start games in Arena mode but I can't see anybody else's games they've started in that mode. Ideas?

You cant select your opponent in arena so they don't show what tables are open to keep it secretive

I get that == but does the game I start just magically join two others when they start their games?

You don't start your own new game when you play arena games. You get into queue and get matched up with others in queue. You'll be matched up with others depending on factors as : players you blocked and or blocked you, speed preference and some kind of setting for level preference.

Sometimes, when starting a game in arena mode, an hour glass rotates next to some players as the rest of us wait for them to join? Do some people have an option? What does the hour glass mean?

I don't mind that arena battles have been changed so that you can no longer tell who your opponent is, but the opponent's arena ranking points are never displayed, and points are added or subtracted depending on the outcome of the win or loss. This means I have no idea whether the points I gained or lost were more or less. This is very puzzling. Shouldn't the opponent's ranking points be made clearer?

There was no change about not being able to tell who your opponent was. The difference was before you automatically got paired and now you don't start the game until the players have accepted.

Not sure what you mean about not knowing whether the points you gained were more or less though. What does that mean?
