Why show full games?

Post by Wog »

Why does this site continue to show games that are already full when looking for games to join?
I get all excited when I see a more rare one that I haven't played in a while, only to realize it's already full.
Just remove them from the list if they are full! Some sit there *hours* after being filled.

I agree. Games that are waiting for particular invited people should only be displayed to the players concerned. If one drops out then it's fair enough to show the game to general players again.

Same with games that are restricted to particular groups or grading ranges; if I'm not eligible to join, why is the game being shown to me? :?:

I've posted this several times over on the suggestions forum and will always chime in whenever it comes up. I would LOVE for the site to hide games I can't join (it could even be a checkbox near the top for those who care to have it off for any reasons, "Hide games from tables I can't join" or whatever).

There are times when 75% of the games in the list I'm not even able to join!

Completely agree. This should be a feature!

It's the same with tournaments, or worse: Often there is a link with a text like "participation possible" and when I click on it I usually arrive at a full tournament.

+ another 20

I swear I can't join most of the games up, and then I also lose track of the ones I might be interested in cause they're lost down the page somewhere.

I often play lots of Turn-based games simultaneously with my friends, and I'll usually create like 10 at once and restrict it to my friends. I feel bad when I do it because I know I'm cluttering up the list for other people who now have to scroll past all my games to get to the ones they can actually join, but that's the only way right now.
