How about respecting a very legitimate wish?
Not sure how my reply showed any disrespect, just an alternative way to deal with the problem.
EW is basically non-policed by mods and it shows. It's prolly the arena with highest density of insults, lies and cheating allegations.
Also the new ones are merrily broadcasting every step over CH 1, so everybody knows where they are going all the time.
Yeah, EW seems to be generally looked-down upon by the masses. I'm not sure why...maybe because most of those people can't (or won't) fly anything but their late-war uber planes. As for all the allegations of cheating...again it's mainly by those who spend most of their time in LW and have no idea how to fly or fight in the EW planes and armor.
There are fewer regulars in EW than other arenas, so you get to know them a bit better. This tends to intensify both the positive and negative aspects of human interaction. And I agree that it can sometimes get out of hand.
But I disagree with forcing everyone off the All channel just because some can't control themselves. With the LW arenas, I guess it made sense because there are normally 200+ people in there (but now look at the complaints about Ch200). EW almost never has more than 40; there are fewer voices to compete with each other.
Having n00bs broadcast their every action isn't unique to EW, but like you said, they generally start there because it's listed first. If people really cared about it, they will let that person know that everyone in the arena can read what they type on the All channel and that it's annoying.
