ENY does not side balance anything. If you can not get into one of the two LW arenas because it is full and you are forced into an arena that is already lopsided with your team then you are not hobbled, you are crippled by the ENY.
Again why is ENY ever allowed to get so high that it cripples a teams ability to fly almost all planes? Why is there not a cap so that there is some ability to still defend bases.
The real question in my mind is why the count for letting you in to an arena is not more Dynamic. Why don't you limit a teams ability to go into an arena based on that teams numbers instead of closing down the whole arena even though the numbers may very well be lopsided in one teams favor. Make the teams stay within a certain % and then close that teams ability to enter until the other two catch up.
If you make the entry into an arena more dynamic like that, couldn't you do away with the ENY?
