arena caps.......why have them?
« on: December 13, 2006, 01:02:01 AM »
Well i know why we have them, im guessing to get people to go into the other arenas.

Maybe i dont want to.  Maybe i like one arena and dont want to go to another.  So I have to sit there for 10 minutes checking to see if i can get in and this realy pisses me off.

Its clear that people like one arena if it is constantly full, its supply and demand.    There is more demand to play this game than your willing to supply, which means less people playing=less people playing=less money in htc's pocket.

Your in this to make money right?  Then take the caps off and let the people decide which arena they want to play in.

toilet  there used to be only one main arena with a cap of 750.  

read up on the changes.  I for one agreed with the split.  EW, MW and LW

im not saying there should be only one arena.  I think having EW, MW and LW is great.

But i like lw and i dont think the arenas should have caps.  If 200 people want to fly in one lw arena when the cap is 120 why force them into another?

well i think the changes were due to enrich gameplay as the old arenas had become stale.   Mass amounts of players hording over one front/base etc.

What the 2 LW arenas should provide is a smaller snapshot of what AH used to be whilst having better dogfights along the way.

For USA players in prime time this isnt an issue as both LW arenas can become full and the dynamic caps allow more players in.
