What he is crying about is that eveyone isn't forced into one arena where his plane is in the very top couple of usefull planes. He further limits himself to one chess piece and is unwilling to change.
mrnogame... you don't even have the guts to tell us who you are... I doubt that you play.

First there are not 4 Arenas and 12 sides to chose from. If you have a squad of 18, All 18 have to be in an arena just to communicate and discover where everyone is. Then you would have to log out of that first arena and back in to the arena that would allow for the 18. Now if you are a toolsheder, You only have one choice where there are the number to offer some kind of fun game play; that's the LWA, not because it's easy, but because it generally offers the most challenging game play.
AH has only provided the tools to locate your squad after loging in to an arena.
I originally became a paying customer because I wanted to play an MMOG. With the main arena that is what AH offered. With the new arena set up. I don't see the game as an MMOG at this point.
The only way to balance sides if that is what AH's was attempting to do is, to automaticly balance sides everytime you attempt to enter a flight.
In other words, Everyone would wait in a tower, there would only be one tower and at that point you chose your aircraft and select the fly button you get spawned at a base. It would only be at that point that you would know what side you were on. That would distroy the squad community which was the only reason I play this game. but that would balance sides, if that is what AH is attempting to do, it's the only way sides will ever be balanced. I"d stop playing at that point.
When I first signed up for the two week membership, that first time I signed in, AH assigned me to a side. I"ve been a Knight all this time. That's the side I play for. That's my team. I'm not a side switcher. I think it's part of the fun of the game to be fighting for one side. It's the American way to fight a war. It's the way we play all our games. When you played ball, you played for your team, right? I know going in that at some time of the day, my team may be out numbered. It's a three sided war, in theory each side is out numbered by the total of the other two teams.
I'm glad you enjoy the early war arena, but the numbers of players that only want to fly early war planes is limited. The largest number of people I've seen in that arena has been 45, Split between three sides that's not many on any one side. If a large squad rolls in to that arena the game becomes totally unbalanced. But your one arena allows up to a max of 350. While my arena only allows a max of 120. I want to be equal to you. I want at least 350. I want the larger numbers. I want an MMOG as advertised by AH, "with hundreds of other pilots".
Currently the only thing that AH has accomplished is to spread the palyer community out over several servers. The server load is balanced, but not the player community in any one arena. Tell me Lazs if everyone signed on to the EWA would that max number remain at 350 or would AH do to the EWA exactly what it has done to the LWA and split the arena.
