Add rapid with increment to "Quick Game"

bump!
I still think 15+15 has little place in a "quick pairing" and should be replaced by 10+5. anyone?
@peanatsu "Quick pairing" refers to finding an opponent to play a game in a short amout of time, not playing a game with a fast time control. Your obsession with replacing the quick pairing category for classical with your preferred rapid category is based on flawed reasoning.

Is it too difficult for you to create your own game seek?
I think, 15+15 should stay in the quick pairing menu, because it is *my* mainly used time control.

Seriously, this is the only really slow option there. I don't understand, why the quick time-controls should dominate even more.

I have absolutely no idea why 5 3 makes it there when 5 5 doesn't since the latter is more popular and catchier. It seems they randomly pick these numbers.
@Xeper: I already responded to that, so my response to NemPlayer.

@sheckley666: well, glad to see someone uses it! Note that in my OP I specifically asked for usage-statistics. I still assume you're in the minority, but maybe I'm just dead wrong here, who knows.
Anyway, I actually agree with you. I think there's too much focus on fast time controls, which is precisely why I'd like a rapid+inc in the quick pairing.

Of course since we can create our own game seeks this is just a minor gripe, but I think the quick pairing makes finding an opponent in your range much faster, so I prefer it over making a manual seek.

@Konadios Sorry, I meant "a minimum increment in seconds should be 20% of the base time in minutes" or rather "the increment should be at least 1/60th of 20% of the base time".

So what I was getting at was 5+1, 10+2, etc.
I would like a 10+5 time controll.
Therefor the "custum" choice can go away because the button "create a game" button is there anyway right beside it.
But the 15+15 should stay because this is the only classic and the only really slow option there.
I agree with Cuxhaven. You must remain a classic slow play option.
I do not care if it's 15 + 10 or 15 + 5 ..... or whatever is more popular, but there are people who like to play classic mode to learn and think better about each play.
Those who like to play blitz have 4 options. Those who like bullet 2 and Rapid and Classical only 1.
Please keep at least one option
