Don't tune to 200 then-1
You don't seem to get it. HTC limit their arenas because of the meta-culture that arises from the number of players.If disabling global chat allows endless numbers of players in an arena I would gladly give it up.
Why is no-body reading the bit about the arena numbers?Possibly if numbers grew again, would you want to split your squad across multiple arenas, like we had almost a decade ago?
Cross country communications did not cause the main arena to split into two arenas.
Communication in general seemed to do it: Skuzzy said it was due to people organising groups and acting out *seemingly* random/unwelcome behaviours is why they split the arenas..The chances of that kind of behaviour occurring would be greatly diminished if global chat were put away with.
If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.
While I have no problem with cross country chat and text I dont think a player from another chess piece should be able to tune his vox to you and rant in your ear simply because they were shot down! I had this happen years ago and it caused me to stop flying in the main arena,I have other reasons but it was the last straw for me.
