Board Game Arena

How can playing in the Arena be fair competition, when the following occurs:

Players join and immediately quit tables once they are aware who else is playing.

Red Thumbs have been given out simple because an opponent is a stronger player.

Players can select what opponent level they wish to play against.

In my opinion these functions should be disabled.

League : Well, the league think dosen't work well whit me. sometimes, i am a bronze and i still get mix whit elites.
Elo : Maybe they just don't want masters in their games, marsters could easily beat averages or even goods whit no problems.

I can't really agree, except quitting because quitting in a arena mode make no sense at all.
Red thumbs could be useful if someone did kingmaking or insult someone example, but the "because he was a stronger player" will make no sense.
And like i said, maybe some average don't want masters, because they would feel this is unfair since it's a easy win for the master.
