UPCOMING UPGRADE: Arena sessions.

We created another thread to discuss this, to distinguish between the conversation about the current Arena (here) and the conversation between the future upgrade:

I'd love to see some sort of way to encourage players to play less popular games.

Also, I think Metromania would be good with 2 player, instead of 3, in Arena.

Yes.
Hi, I don't know if the rule above still applies, but in that case, it doesn't work... ;)

I wanted to try the Arena and chose Tzolkin as it was a game I didn't play a lot recently. I entered in bronze league, as I expected... and the matchup gave me an ELITE opponent... Not what I expected... :)

EDIT : I think I understand... If a game has few players in arena mode, then you can have very few leagues, and for example bronze and then directly elite...

I had an arena game of hearts with 2 players from the same IP address today. They were helping each other through the game. I gave them red thumbs, but I don't think it should be allowed for 2 players from the same IP address to play in an arena game.

Also in hearts, one out of every 4 games or so, one player will not show up to the game, and I will lose a few elite rating points when they run out of time and get skipped. It doesn't make any sense to lose rating for this.

Losing Elo when someone else quits is one of the most annoying stupid things is happening right out in arena. I think when someone else quits you should at least get +1 Elo.

I would disagree with 0 elo, but getting -5 elo, is dumb.

Where should i report colluders in arena?
The number 1 player in 7 wonders is clearly colluding.
I have overwheming evidence for it, and would anyone that watches his games where he often joins with people in his friendlist (not even try to hide it)
When they sit next to each other, the lower elo player does insane non sensical plays, like Buying the resources his higher elo partner wants, but it's of no reasonable use for them, they always buy resources from each other, and the most blatant collusion i saw in one game weaker player was passed two military cards in age 2, which he coudl build. But building it would mean surpassing his partner, so instead, discarded the card for 3 gold, even when having gold available. THat is as colluding in it's maximum expression.

What is the plan to fight against collusion which clearly will happen. IT demotivates me to trying to climb the 7 wonders ladder, or any non 1v1 game.

@Waterd103: On the top right of every players profile site, you find the button "Report Player". Make sure to include the game IDs in your report! Such behavior shouldn't be tolerated, not even in simple mode.
