Sorry gents
As much as as I read about the higher standards in this arena, it looks like nothing more than a limited plane set HO, vulch and gang arena.

Wow this is like the millionth post about this. Who were you flying agenst? AvA does have higher standards if you fly agenst a player that has them. Not to be an bellybutton but how long did you fly in there? It takes more then 15min. to see how an arena is. 15mins in the MA could be REALLY bad or great same goes for this arena.
Edit: Vulch? Only people that really vulch in here are MAers that take the wrong turn into the AvA. Or if your fighting someone and get damaged of bored and try to land. (thats not really vulching thats finnishing you off) Most of the time if you ask to land becuase your damaged they will let you, but if dont it may look like to running to your ack (something that most people dont like very much and makes anything fair game).

There's no lock on the arena door. Anyone can come in there and be as dweeby as they are anywhere else.
It's all a matter of degree. There is less dweebery, generally speaking, than in other arenas. Some will come in have a bad experience and conclude it's all the same. If you come in on a regular basis you notice that there is a difference. When the "regulars" are on vulchers will be derided from all sides even their own, fewer will just jump in an ongoing fight, and good pilots are more interested in separation and lead turns than jousting.
Standards is the wrong word, maybe culture would be better. It's just an arena, not a magic place that emits anti luzer rays through your monitor.

Ah yes when the fins are on they dont care if theres only one of you and three of them.:aok

well at least they are polite on 200 though

"maybe culture would be better"
truer words have never been spoken.
Thats the main reason when I log on now I look to see who is in AVA first before deciding if I want to TA or try out the MA. If even a few of the regs are on I know it's going to be a better time than over in the MA. Sure I get smoked 9 sorties out of 10 but the talk is either polite or humorous and I much prefer that to the nonsense that goes on in other arenas.
I've been flying a 109G for the last two nights and I hate the airplane. I equally hate the P40's. But the ava regs make flying a doghouse preferable to me than taking an uber ride up in the MA and landing 10 kills.
But that's just me

No one has ever or should have guaranteed there will be no ho'ing, vulching, ganging etc. Its is requested that you try to refrain from making the arena a mini-MA and thus draw like minded people in. Its hit and miss Shamus. The place can be very fun arena. Your best bet is to come in on thursday nights. You can then draw your conlusions in a better light about the arena and who flys in there. Then you can have a better feel when you see who's on the roster on whether to up and fight or go to the MA.

so the biggest draw to the arena is the "good fights" but it is just like the MA....there are "good fights" surrounded by HO's/vulches/gangs? just on a smaller scale...much smaller.

Very true. Plus, we're having re-growth issues now, with all the new folks trying the arena out. It's to be expected that some of them will bring their MA inclinations along. Over time, we find that people are either assimilated by the Borg, or go back to the MAs. Those who remain tend to be kinder, gentler, and fierce fighters.
Why don't you stop by now and again, perhaps you'll begin to notice the difference.

Had a few MA whiners in there yesterday. Nothing big just one that was flying on the same side I was ganging every plane he saw then ten minutes later he swiched and whined about geting ganged after flying into three of us. Another Whined about geting vulched after he was wheels up climbing out about 5-7k away from his base. He went for a HO while I was in on him, then shot at aother guy while I was turning around. I then killed him and he siad I was trying to vulch him. Iv noticed a few people in the AvA trying to use "big boy" terms and have no clue what they mean. So I think Ill have to post some.
Vulch - Being killed on take off or landing while eather with your gears down, under 150mph, and/or under 500ft.
Ganging - Geting "ganged" by more then one plane. Three or more to really qualify as a gang.
CheryPicking - Killing or geting killed by someone while you were in a 1v1 with another.
TrueKilling - Pwning any red plane you see no matter who or what they are in or fighting agenst.:p
Those are a few anyone else wanna chime in?

Could well be that he hasn't learned the fine art of getting out the way of the HOtards bullets. :rofl
You are only at fault for perpetuating the HO... Fight on your terms in there, Not on the enemies terms.
