Cap suggestion

[clerick]

Tried a search and came up blank so here goes.

Arena caps that take map size into account.  The more bases and map area the more players it allows in.

I am all for anything that weakens the arena caps we have setup right now.  The one thing that I enjoy most about this game is getting together with my friends.  If that is hard to achieve it kind of steals the joy.  NowutImean?

Why are arena caps constantly being changed anyways? It only makes it harder for other arenas to get populated.. And for sure is frustrating to me when I can't join the arena of my choice, and arena with my choice is always the one with most players (and most of the time that one is full).

Why were arenas split in the first place? Can anyone explain to me the logic behind that ? I fail to spot any benifits

Is it because of:

Server?
Gameplay?
Hardware?
Faster map changes?
Faster(easier to find) action?
lag?
More balanced plane engagements?
More choice for player?



What were the problems with one main arena?

I would really like to see only one late war arena when the total number of people in LW arenas is less than 100. There's nothing worse the logging in and seeing 75 in one arena and 23 in the other. Those extra 20 make the difference between boredom and a good furball.

I went to log into main last night. Numbers appear to me to be up considerable.
380 in Orange and 300 in Blue. Plus 40 + in both Midwar and DA.

I understand the cap, but I do think the upper limit should be higher when that many people are on.
Or they need to open another arena, spread things out more.

well if yo are in Europe the caps suck,spent 30 minutes trying to get in a arena with a map i wanted to fly on,the cap was 100 with 150 people in it,while the other late arena had a cap of 200 with 23 peple in it.
No one wanted to play on the naff little poxy map that was in that arena,so everyone waiting to get in the other one didnt get any fun.
