"Sorry, your move speed is too slow to accept this seek"

    I keep getting this error message every time I try to accept an open seek,

    My acutal move speed average is between 2 and 3 hours. Is this really too slow?

    As far as I can see when I make an open seek, anything under three hours is considered the fastest possible, so is this a bug, or am I missing something?

    I think everyone must be having the same problem, none of the open seeks are disappearing, I'm sure it'll be fixed soon enough.

    LOL. I've apparently have joined the turtle and tortise club also.  Received the same response trying to accept 3 different games. 

    Has to be a glitch.  But, then patience is at the center of most games here I guess.  Hopefully, it will be a straight foreward fix and sooner rather than later.

    I have that problem also, tried to accept a challenge from someone whose Ave Time/ move is 5 hours and 8 minutes and mine is 34 mins and 57 seconds !!! but it is me that has the slow move speed, wondering how fast do you have to be ?

    Yeah, this appears to be a system-wide issue, we're working on it!

    I am getting this error too on every seek I try to accept. I would think that 30min 2 sec after 818 games should be quite acceptable.Yell

    Hey guys, I found a workaround for this, while we wait on them to fix it. Just go into advanced options when you are sending the challenge, and instead of "all players" set the average move time to <12 hours. It seems to work.
