Comon now.  If it really was as good as people say it is, wouldn't be full of people?  That is exactly what happens.  Few people are there having fun fights then more people come in and convert it to a mini MA and every one leaves.  Then people start posting, few go back, the fun fights start, more people show up and convert it to a mini MA and it is back to empty.  Repeat

I wish it was more of a "realistic mission" arena instead of a "realistic matchup" arena.

FX1 imagine what other people feel during your scenario.
its somthing like this:

1) dweebs flying around having fun
2) Fx1 uber-dweeb logs in and kicks the crap out of them repeatedly
3) dweebs want revenge for dying in a 5 second fight every time
4) dweebs try to kill FX1 uber-dweeb
5) dweebs fail and think of a new plan
6) dweebs change sides to spy on uber-dweeb to make sure they dont have to fight him because it was leaving 'a bad taste in thier mouths'

This isn't about just FX this scenario plays over and over:

1)Good MA stick who pwns in the MA used to safety flying with alt in groups in uber plane
2)Good stick decides it's time to pwn the AvA dweebs.
3)Good stick does ok but not pwning.
4)Good stick decides to safety fly to regain pwnage.
5)Good stick still not pwning and the whole arena is made aware of safety tactics.
6)Good stick used to the anonymity of the MA doesn't like the exposure.
7)Frustrated stick sais, "This sucks because it's just like the MA" then goes to the arena they just said sucked.

And finally, If you think the AvA regulars avoid good players. You have no concept of the typical mindset of the AvA regular.

IMHO, AvA is a "clinic" to hone your ACM.  90% of the players in there fit this profile:

- Are very skilled in 1 vs 1 combat with no clear advantages
- Have a sense of fair play and are good sportsmen
- Care more about having a good fair fight rather than W/L or score
- Are good natured and love to talk/analyze the fights

It's not for everyone of course - actually it's not for most! ...but if you want to go to a place where you'll improve your game quickly, AvA is it.

Very true! They always try to get into a fight with them.  The problem is, they all try at the same time
