Problems with Arena mode

[Zmaj_zivjeli]

Hello,

can someone from BGA help me please?

I think I have problems with arena mode or maybe I dont understand enough this.

When there is a arena table open but there is player I have red thumb on because they were not friendly in previous game, and I try to play arena. Does it open new table for me or not? I have tried to play arena with that situation but it not open new table for me. When other table starts or closes, then it open a table for me.

So that player is blocking me from playing arena which is punish me because I give them red thumb. Why?

Also, when I was in a arena table with 2 other players, another arena table was opened by another player and the two players in table with me went to other table and then other table got player 4 and it started before table I wait in. Why?

There is inconsistency in my experience with open 2nd arena table. I cannot but other player can do. Why?

What makes you think that you don‘t open a new arena table / that yours is closed when another opens? Like how/where do you see that for arena?

Afaik, multiple tables exist at the same time, and ppl can wait on several ones at the same time.

What is intended then is that the constellation that allows a full table first (due to red thumb and/or options limitations) starts the table first, and that everyone in that game is removed from all other waiting tables (for real-time games).

The forums are primarily for discussions between players. If you want to reach BGA management, this is not the best place.

There are some players who in competitive arena modes exploit or try to exploit the thumb down feature to avoid players who are better than them or better than their rating. I have seen multiple people do this.

So quite possibly if you thumb too many people's names down there are more delays barriers to getting a fresh Arena table.

thats a d... a bad tactic, for a game that has so much luck aspects. I would be better to rt everyone with low arena rating (but most are hidden since they dont reach elite). also an option is to rt the poeple with too low rating compared to the skill, but see problem above.

personally I block ..bad players and play just for fun which also results in high rating
and yes waiting for tichu arena takes a very long time, just in general, and yes any bugs on the platform you can just keep and the admins dont give a-
