Does anyone use the Best Match option?

  Hello, I was just wondering if anyone uses the best match option when creating a new game?   I have started using it recently, but it seems that other players don't want to play someone they don't know.   Also, does it automatically pick a player that is online & available to play?

  Thanks :)

  It selects anyone of a similar ability that has a green light on (or blue)

  Ok, thanks Courteney. Have you tried it with any success or is it a waste of time in your opinion?

  It sometimes works but not often. Having a bigger friend list and being in a busy CC is more useful.

  Once in a while I will click on it when we are  having trouble getting a game together.  Most of the time it doesn't give any results, it would be much better to have a lobby where you can ask for games.

  I use it from time to time, it seems to drag randoms into the game lobby which soon enough leave.

  Perhaps this should, if it isnt already, only be dragging in those on Blue Dot.

  Oh yeah!

  Imagine seeing a lobby with a dozen games waiting for a 3rd or 4th player and indicating 'anyone' can join. 
  You  could  see course/ conditions, existing players & their tiers etc before joining the game.
