Changes to Arena since going premium

Post by Rod Shelby »

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if this is happening to anyone else, or if it's a normal thing. Since the game went premium, I can't find any opponents for Arena matches.

I get that the goal is for players to become premium, but the point of Arena and positioning matches is to play against similar Elo players—not just other premium players.

To sum up, my queries are two:
- Is it common in premium games to have to wait many hours (or even days) to find a match?
- Does this mean that, now that the game is premium, rivals in Arena will only be other premium players? (this is my biggest concern)

If a game is premium, at least one of the players at a table must be premium. So, if you are not premium, you will only be matched with premium players. If you are premium, you could be matched with anyone.
