I beg to differ. Ideas are often both arrived at and delivered with an air of hubris. I find an attempt to make an arena that could use more numbers (for obvious reasons) more exclusive by suggesting unrealistic rules of chilvalry to be community enforced to the point of running off anyone perceived to play the game in an ungentlemanly manner (and, quite frankly, 90% of the aspersions cast upon others in the game are just that, perception .... and generally not very accurate) not only anything but humble ... I find it a foolish move. We disagree. The tact (and time) you're taking to explain your stance more thoroughly is not convincing me otherwise. And if you further perceive what we're doing as anything but discussion ... well there you go.
Quantity over quality?
AvA wasn't broken, so why all the attempts to make it into something which has no chance to improve anything but maybe numbers (and only until novelty wears off).
Was it worth the try? Yes, but let see it for what it is.
