From what I've read the arena capping will come back once the "newness" wears off in the WWI arena.

That's because it's been stated that the caps will return.  I for one generally prefer the MA's with the caps in place.  If they were gone for good I may be voicing my opinion a little more loudly.

It's all relative to map size. 200 players on a large map is a terrible thing for trying to actually find a fight. But the same 200 on a small map can be a lot of fun.

I really hate caps on the large maps, but don't really have a problem with them when the map is a smaller one.

We don't have to argue for something that's already in place.

The only argument is by those that don't like it.

Besides, Hitech is the only vote that counts. He's stated why it's in place and being that you folks that don't like it force your way into arenas that are full anyway instead of going where you're supposed to go just makes things worse because doing that makes the process of balancing the arena populations take that much longer to accomplish.

Maybe it depends on who is doing the complaining

You are allowed. It works the other way around doesn't it? Your squaddies fly with you.

I don't care what you think. You wrote you couldn't find any argument FOR split arenas. Since the arenas ARE split there's no reason to argue FOR it. I was just stating fact. I'm sorry it offends you so.

Edit: I went to the trouble of finding Hitechs post on the reason the LW arenas are split. If you'd care to remind yourselves or for the newer players that don't know, it's Reply #372 June 15, 2009. It was a banner thread. 32 pages of unforgettable diatribe and one PNG.

I really hate caps on the large maps, but don't really have a problem with them when the map is a smaller one.


unfortunatly, LWO (where the fights are most of the time it seems) only runs large maps, Trinity and Compello mostly (wtf?), and is often full with LWB at 150-200 compared to LWO's 250-300. I say screw linking the arenas (if LWB is around 3/4's full, LWO's cap is raised and vise-versa) and have the cap based only on map size (can't have a good fight with 150 in Trinity and Compello)
