I seem to have a lot of problems joining advanced setup games. Basically, 7/8 of the time, I cannot join the game due to connection timeout (ie, it just tries to connect forever and fails). When I do manage to join up, maybe 1/6 of games drop because of the "host out of sync" error. And I'm on a pretty fast box next to a T1 line.
Additionally, is it just me, or is there a lack of DM players? The most DM games I've ever played via quick setup in a night is one. I think there needs to be a check box on the rated/quick setup screen that says "I want to play rated DM (or RM/lightning/conquest)". Then, whenever another player checks that box, and she's near my rating, ESO can bring up an invite box for the both of us. This way, the other player isn't waiting around or missing his chance (I'm sure I miss lots of chances by going to advanced when I can't get a rated game).
