Same for this guy...
Whiners or Ingrates.

Take your pick...


You exclude a possibility. There is no reason to think the a whiner cannot ALSO be an ingrate - so it could be a whining ingrate, doubtless with a surplus of available time. That time is also doubtlessly spent on any of the following activities, possibly in combination:

1. whining
2. playing AH
3. passed out on a urine-soaked mattress drooling
4. thumbwrestling with cyclops
5. being ungrateful

And I make no stipulations as to which since I have no desire to be disrespectful to the OP or anyone  else or to, for any other reason, take a Skuzzy-stick to the brainbox or a Skuzzbrick in the chops, if you follow.

Nothing to see here...

Here is my idea for the day:  Re name both LW arenas "GREEN".  This should add a whole new level of excitement to choosing which arena you want to go into.

know what would REALLY suck?

 if hitech woke up one day, and read some of the bs in these boards, decided to throw in the towel, and closed this place and the game down. THAT would suck.

I just don't see to many posts about how great the change was. 

That's human nature. 

How often do you see a customer at a restaurant demand to see the manager to tell him the chef created a superb meal and the wait-staff was very attentive and gave them a very enjoyable dining experience?  Not very often.  The more likely scene is the customer who had the same meal and waiter, but had to wait 5 minutes to use the bathroom, stomped around yelling at all the guests and demanding that the proprietor make it so he can take a dump on the floor whenever he wants, instead of waiting for the bathroom to become a little less crowded.

Or they stand on the seat and ker-rap on the wall... duhuhuhuhuh.

Thanks for your story, Imadot. The idea of a restaurant in which people take a dump on the floor at will is humorous to me.

There is a word or two that can be used  to describe these types of customers.

Whiners or Ingrates.

Take your pick...

It does happen. I do it on the rare occasions it's appropriate.

Except I don't demand the manager to get to the table, I usually email or call afterwards :)

I would suggest incrementing the cap increase by 10 or 20 each time instead of 50.  That way the arenas open and close more frequently giving those the ability to join a specific color more frequently and keeping a better balance in the both arenas.



Quoting so it hopefully won't get lost.

THIS IS A CONSTRUCTIVE POST!  It might even be a good idea!

Small arena cap change.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have changed the % of players needed from 70% to 80% to raise the cap on the opposite arena.

HiTech

Kinda?


Something I noticed yesterday when I logged on, arenas were capped at 350 and 400 respectively and neither was anywhere near full.

Where were the thank you's from the whiners?

Yep, me too.  I won't bring the manager to the table, but I've gone to find him/her and talk in person.
