Actualy, I did miss the first week, I was on vacation. But I consider the "begining" the first tour, and I know when squads were deciding which arena to base themselves in they chose LW to give their members a larger choice of rides. That's what the CO of my squad did. Yes, I understand people made the conscious decision to fly in the LW after trying the EW & MW, Thats fine. But I think HTC needs to even out the arenas a little. Losing the second LW and putting a larger CAP on on the first would bring the numbers up in all the arenas actualy making it easier to find a horde. And their would still be the dueling arena, AvA, and the corners of the large maps for the gunslingers looking for 1 on 1's. The multiple arenas would still help prevent server overload.
Here's a clip from the HTC archives mentioning the small caps.

Aces High II: Arena Format Change Thanks to your patronage Aces High has grown to the point where a single Main Arena is no longer a sufficient solution...
Being in this business a long time, we understand that people are creatures of habit and old habits die-hard. Going through any major change is uncomfortable until people become acclimated to the change.
This change is especially difficult because we cannot simply add these new arenas; we need to redistribute how the arenas are populated. To accomplish that, we’re going to be reducing arena caps so as to not have one arena dominate just by virtue of everybody following the herd. We’ll also be using small terrains exclusively for now, but that is not a permanent change. Once we’re comfortable that people have acclimated to the new format, we’ll begin to work those elements back in."
I think we should go back to this.
