Am I the only one who doesn't think 20 minutes is too long to wait?
No you are not, oboe. 20 minutes is a very short time to wait, especially with so much going on before the frame starts! Even as a registered player, I always try to get into the arena about an hour before take-off time (half-an-hour before 'show-up time' when the arena is usually locked). Getting everyone organised takes a fair bit of time for the squad leaders, who are also in constant communication with Command staff at the same time. We were lucky in our squad that it filled up quickly, but any squads who were short would be kept busy trying to grab walk-ons to fill their seats and 20 minutes would pass very quickly. Barely enough time to notice someone asking for a squad to join, deciding they need someone, looking back over the text to see who it was, replying with an offer..... no reply.... check roster.... find the person has left the arena.
Anyway, there is only so much we can do. I'm looking forward to another great frame next Saturday as scenarios are my absolute favourite part of the game, I love them.
