You claim to have been playing this game for quite a long time and you have no idea how the population caps work?  I mean, there have been hundreds of threads about this since the caps have been put in place, in fact one thread was just done a few weeks ago.

Skuzzy should put a sticky up in the forums explaining how the population caps work so people won't feel it's necessary to post yet another "200 guys want to fly LW so cap is set to 100??? WTF" thread every other day.

You're in luck!  Two arena's with each capped at 100 and 200 guys want to play?  Sounds just right.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

That's not a bad idea.  I'm a little confused still how it works.

This SS with timestamp shows LWBlue arena.

LW Orange is 154/100.  Blue only has 90 guys in it--but you can see how the imbalances are FUBAR in Blue.

Yup, these caps are marvelous!

Imbalance has nothing[/] to do with caps and seems to be the norm in the arenas lately no matter the time.

sigh, you just don't really have a clue do ya ack-ack, population control when it is high is fine, when population control kicks in at rediculously low numbers it needs a tweak.

IMHO no arena should have a cap of less than 200 period, to try and defend your position is just silly what fun is 100 guys on a huge map???  It's situations like this cause guys to rethink their subscribtions.

No, it's you that has absolutely no clue.  If you had a clue or even a brain to process said clue, then you wouldn't have created a thread which is basically nothing more than one of your run of the mill whines about the population cap.
