Currently there is the drop down menu for Arena and All-Time, they just need to have the drop down menu include each map separately (Swiss-All Time, India-All TIme, etc), and if they wanted to be really nice also separate 2P with multi-player. All the data is there, they just need to parse it. This would be useful in other games too where 2P plays different, or expansions change the game a lot.
This would be optimal, but the current BGA system doesn't allow it, hence splitting them is the only way to have separate Elo. Your remark about slow queues makes sense, but keeping them all together isn't much different in case someone searches for a game on a specific map alone. The only difference is in Arena, which is forced to a specific map (or random maybe?) so everyone goes in the same queue. But even with split maps it wouldn't be much of a problem: I already queue for all 3 games (or 2 last season, when Eu arena sucked) at once when searching for a match and that makes the queue time as fast as grouping all the maps together
Now it’s Big Cities for Europe xD
Drake’s suggestion would really improve our « gaming » experience :D

Just played this Europe Big Cities, and it is... well I'm not sure what it is, but it is not better than USA Mega!

If you couldn't use stations, maybe it would be ok, and be able to block some, but it is hard to go out fast and next thing I know I am facing someone with 15+ tickets!... and not 15 Swiss map type tickets, but 15 big point tickets!!

Idk, I just played 6-7 games and kinda liked it compared to mega last season that felt like a total mess. Not sure what you mean by fast, but usually I aim for 11-12 turns and that's usually enough to prevent insane drawing. Never tried against strong players though, that might just be decided almost entirely by initial draw.
Anyways I'm not saying it's great, it has pretty high randomness, but I found it kinda enjoyable, more than mega, that's it
