Nope, I meant 9am and sorry AWwrgwy, but you are confused between the "need" for a limit vs. the limit itself..... At 9AM, there is still a limit to get into an arena. The CAPs NEVER go away.
The noon CT thing has nothing to do with the wish. But thanks for commenting sir!
I'm not too sure about this either whenever I login at say 9 - 10 AM gmt ( minus 5 for EST ) there are both arenas available with up to 400 slots. Usually have around 80-100 in orange, that dwindles down to a low of 60 ish when everyone has gone to sleep, then slowly builds back up through the day until we finally get some action between 2-6pm GMT. This is Aussies / Japanese mixed in with Euros and the early Americans. Soon as we hit 6pm GMT, the caps kick in and the arena is strangled for action. Squaddies can't join orange, we usually swap to Blue around 8pm when it isn't completely empty to find a small map with more fights than a large map, that has been starved of players. End up logging out with about 150 in Orange and 110 in Blue.
For us All I suggest is moving the cap kicking in to 10pm GMT. This will guarantee action up until this point and no complaints from the non usa players. The problem will then be guys logging in to see 250/100 5/150. So this will piss even more ppl off for longer. Unless everyday the arena takes a dump at that time and people then log back in to see 0/150, 0/100. At least this way people will instantly fill both arenas and as long as the map positions stay the same I doubt people will have many complaints if it was a regular occurance.
The alternative is to have no caps but 2 late war arenas. The problem then is that people WILL go into the main arena, it is undeniable. Then you will see 501/500 and 50/500 in blue for example.
