Lopsided unfair scoring in Azul

[Jontia]

You get Arena filters, so as far as avoiding pairing under such Arena gaps, yes, you did get a say. As for choosing to be paired or not vs specific players, of course you don't get to cancel. This is to avoid intentionally rigging the system. We can't have someone going into Arena and only bullying players for easy wins while dodging any legitimate games.

Though it turns out you can do exactly that by handing out the Red Thumb to people you don't want to play against.

Indeed, that's why having red thumbs in Arena overturned was such a popular suggestion and widely applauded when announced. When BGA never released it or explained why the reversal, they were also criticized, though their lack of communication would have also played a considerable factor in addition to the topic.
