7 wonders Arena: Scheduled or Live mode

I'd like that expert players post here their preference for the Arena mode, whether it is Scheduled (games start every 10 minutes) or Live (the actual mode where you wait until a table is ready).
Please post only "Scheduled" or "Live" and anything else. Don't justify, don't propose other options. You can do that in a separate thread. The idea is to make it simple for BGA to have an idea what the players prefer.

I prefer Scheduled.

I say you can make it live but improve the match making algorithm so that you can't be matches with someone outside your level in the first 4 minutes based on 'table host'^.

This would get quick games when there are enough other players at a similar level, but would make players wait a few minutes in order to get more even matchups.

^The table host would be the first person at a given level to enter the arena mode. (this could be expanded to multiple Elo sectors in the elite mode, say +/- 100). If table host hits 4 minutes (for example) then the players accepted at that table expand...so nobody would have to wait much more than 4 minutes, and most games would start faster...but it would achieve what the games every 10 minutes was trying to do, but without excessive waiting around.
