MTGA way to stack-draft day2


Hello players.
I think this one should be spread within community to possibly push for change on something, which definitely does not belong to competetive Magic/high level tournaments.
After rather disappointing 0-2 result on May Arena open Day2 I've let my roomate go for his day2 and decided to watch him draft. While he's been waiting in lobby for his Day2 draft, I've signed Traditional Bo3 draft queue to get some mood recovery draft.
After couple of seconds we discovered we might be in a same lobby due to behavior of lobby as people've been joining.
Draft ready check popped at a same time for both of us and we immediately knew what was going on. After couple of packs we knew exact locations, where we are sitting compared to each other and I have to say, it's not so much effort to make this work perfectly for either of you.
Especially taking into consideration this lobby took ~1,5minute to fully fill, this is super easy to stack some accounts and make it work for day2 account.

Not much math needed to figure out, with some setup you can make this to be 10,5k Gems(~$50) for full pool of 24 packs for your day2 account. Day2 where stakes are up to $2500.

Please, let's stop this blatantly easy possibility to cheat on each other.

Not only Arena opens, also I believe lot of Qualifier Weekends might be affected by this as there is a huge chance same lobby logic applies there as well.
