OK, now that I've got your attention (hopefully) with the silly title, let me get one thing perfectly clear from the start.
I completely understand and agree with everything that Hitech or anyone from HTC has stated as a need for the arena caps and split arena.However, I think there are some area's that could be improved to help the players "help themselves" so to speak. Currently when I enter an arena, the game just puts me on the side I was last on, with no regard for where my squad-mates currently are, or what the current ENY situation is (either good or bad). What I am wishing for is the ability to set some preferences for each arena that I enter.
So I did a mock-up of what I think the "arena preference" page might look like. I included a primary and secondary choice to give more flexibility to handle all the different permutations for how someone might want to play. I think with the stated limit for 32 players per squadron this would only work for squads of 32 or less, the multi-wing squads would have to go about it the current way if they want to stay together (unless HTC changes their minds).

I am sure there are other options as well that I didn't think of, but I wanted to post the idea and maybe we can have a civil discussion about the best options to give everyone the best opportunity to play the way they like.
