I really am having a hard time understanding why you are complaining about static arena caps in an Arena you do not wish to play in.

I see your point, Dale, but I was thinking if the static cap was at 350, with only 60 people in it, meanwhile the arena some friends are in is overflowing at 200 (to the tune of 40-50+ over).... well that just seems wrong.
It's not about the static cap being higher then the dynamic cap of the LW arena- it's about the LW arena cap being significantly lower then an arena that has (normally) less then half the amount of traffic.
I don't know how your load management software works, so I'm not going to presume to tell you how to do your job.
I will say, however, that when someone sees an arena with siginificantly less traffic having a higher maximum player count while they can't get into the arena they want...well....that's just gonna give off the wrong impression.
What's the purpose of the dynamic cap? To spread the load across the farm equally? Or is it simply a gameplay decision and not in any way hardware related?
One final question- when you do Titanic Tuesdays, is it one server with a huge cap, or something else?
