And how's that going to
stop
Shade vulching???


Because it is much harder to do with the population in the LWMA.  It is more likely to be interfered with in the LWMA.  That's why they do it in Midwar.

perks points earned in certian arena should not cross over into another arena.

Yes.  Perks earned in one arena should stay in that arena.  This would be the simplest solution to the Midwar shade-vulchers and removes any need for HTC to enforce a "rule" by resetting perks.

Let the shade-vulchers try doing it in the LWMA.

No, EW, MW and LW are still sharing the same perk pool. See also this post about the consequences of that...

I believe the simple and realistic reasoning behind such was to promote use of the MW and EW. The argument of not earning coveted LW perks in the other arenas may have been enough to cut their already low numbers in half.

Just shoot down their perk rides. There are those in the community that should be able to take a 262 down when it's flown with the same amount of skill someone used to farm perks. There's at least two in my squad that have. I'll be glad to test my mediocre skills, given the opportunity.  :P

I remember once going to the mw arena and land 20 perks just for basically deaking a base and dropping a couple of bombs in a p38.  I tried to bring an m3 but some "perk farmer" upped with a tank and killed me  :uhoh.  to get revenge I brought a tiger, next thing it turned into a tank to tank battle with about 10 guys per side.  battle lasted for about 2 hours.

I ended up with about 30 something kills in my tiger after being tracked several times but lucky for me there was a guy resupplying us.  I landed 20 or something perks.

that was the only time I actually saw combat in mw.  I dont remember being back and that was about 2 years ago.

I'm not inclined to jump on this bandwagon, either. Check my stats (Guthrie). The mid and early arenas were created to offer a better environment for flying the early and mid war planes (says captain obvious). It can also serve as encouragement to give them a try. Unfortunately, segregating perks would just discourage that, for most of the population. Personally, I'm not jealous of either rookies or impatient types farming perks in any way shape or form. Like I said, previously, I'd like the opportunity to splash a high perkie ride driven by a 13 year old.  It would be a rare opportunity for me. :D
