Friendly mode has no ELO, no time limits, no penalties. ELO scores are not necessary, but some people find them fun.

Why it is only "practise mode", how it is not like "regular mode" but only without ELO-scorings? What kind of philosophy is behind of that? Trying to make took games seriously and courage to take premium-memberships?

It was called "training" (practice), now it's called "friendly". What is it about friendly mode that you don't like? Do you want time limits and penalties, but no ELO?

Because games are often more fun if you play against people with similar skill. Elo is there to make that possible.

Exactly! This is a common misunderstanding.

ELO is not meant to reward or act as a ladder. It's there to allow for better matchmaking, and to help players to play with/against people of similar skill.

ELO has nothing to do with premium, it's calculated the same for premium and non-premium users. Premium allows you to start all the games - because games are not free, they cost money.

Why penalties and time limits then should be games with ELO-ratings? I dont see any reason abot that. What "friendly" is neglet time limit and accomplishment of game in that so called "friendy mode"?
That fact ELO-ratings has no direct deal with premium-membership is not counterargument my argument why it have undirect -psychological- deal about it.
