Don't hold your breath, they won't be punished.

Why do I as a bronze level player, keep getting paired with Elite players, where I basically get kerb-stomped over and over? Even if I set my preferences to only play the same level as myself, I get matched with Elites that have 3 X the elo I do. I feel like a punching bag for high level players.

I have a question about Arena points. In Race for the Galaxy I am in the diamond league. When losing to an elite league player I am losing 4 points, when defeating an elite league player I am only gaining 2 points. I thought if you defeated a player in a higher league you got more points. This is making it difficult to promote out of the diamond league.

@duke007: This is definitely a bug. Please make a bug report with reference to the tables. https://boardgamearena.com/bugs There have been similar reports of strange Arena point changes for other games, there is definitely sth strange going on in some situations.

Has the amount of leagues in race for the galaxy changed?

Where is the "just one click" for extending a search for arena games into simple game modes?

I'm not sure if it's telling me that is what happens when I switch from arena turn-based to simple game turn-based, or if it's just reminding me that I'm currently searching for players in those games. And to get there anyway it's two clicks.


I can see simple mode to arena while I'm manually searching a games table, but I don't see the bridge between the automatic table selection modes.

Sorry, I have the same question and am unable to find the answer in this thread. Could anyone please help?
Been trying to get a match in the arena of a less popular game for days with no success.

They were considered guilty.
But one of them is second in a game Arena only because of that cheating and only got a warning! ridiculous...

As you may find, guilty verdicts are almost always handed down, but punishments are never more than a slap on the wrist.
