Simple question really, quite a bit of my friends are Android players and wonder why Android devices are only allowed access to the Mixed GST, and not the iDevice/Mobile GST? They are mobile devices, just like iDevices, so I personally see no reason as to why Android players should be excluded from the option of participating in the iDev/Mobile GST. If I'm not mistaken, they don't have any advantages over iDevice players, do they?

I'm just looking for some logical explanation, if there is any.  

i think its bc bluetooth keyboard and bluestack android emulator.

Ah that makes sense, but Graal can detect whether or not you're using an external device, right? If so, then this probably shouldn't be too big a problem.

If that's it then that's pretty unfortunate for all the legitimate Android players who'd like to do the Mobile GST with their iDev friends or iDev teams, hopefully they'll find a fix for that sometime bc it seems quite a lot of players use Android and are being deprived of GST options.  

Kind of irrelevant to say that android devices cannot play with/against iDevices because they can move differently, thats like banning iDev from competing against Pc users.

Not only deprived of options, but performance on devices, in general, is poor. Unless you're on a decent computer, you won't suffer any freezes or lag spikes. It's a solid advantage, but I'm stuck on a tablet and cannot benefit.

I don't think I can have fun with GST until there are less problems with the game.  

should only be 1 GST anyway, segregation is very '50s

Bluestacks has a decent delay. Itd be pointless to use it in gst.  

I thought Graal can detect keyboards...when I used mine on android it didn't let me queue up in idev room ...couldnt tht also detect blue stacks players too as they use keyboards too?

keyboard is connected to PC, not directly to bluestack and it doesn't even use bluetooth. so the server perceive it as just an android. maybe.

The server is still called "Classic iPhone" so your argument is quite invalid, I'm afraid.  

yea there should only be 1 gst. i hope they change that
