Freeze, yes I do spend some time in there, but not nearly as much as Dedalos or Oldman or Simaril, or others.
I agree that the regulars should have more of a say as to what the AvA could/should be.
As a paying subscriber, though, I think I deserve to have a fun flying experience as much as anyone.
Dedalos, I wasn't referring to you as a resource. AvA is a waste of HTC's resources, whatever those are, to have one of 8 arenas catering to 300 or so players, of whom maybe 200 are in enough to even have a rank.
You're absolutely right in that AvA, in its current state has everything I want, except the attitude that exists in there... and people. Get 50 in there every night, and I'll never fly anywhere else.
Over and over and over you see the same discussion that devolves to 'I want to fly in AvA, but there's never anyone in there.' And we get the same answers as to why, and posts like this ask why, and when anyone tells you why, you don't want to hear it.
This isn't getting anywhere, and never does.
I'll see you when I see you.
