This may not be an actual test but so far it seems most of the people here seem to think that it is a good solution.
Not sure where you are coming up with the "MOST" want it your way statement. Have you taken a poll or just had 2000+ players contact you personally to tell you that they are not happy with the current system.
I took a poll, slapped it upside the BBs here and the information fell out like candy from a pinyata.
But I digress. My final point on the subject.......
If our login habits are any indication as to what the customer's desires are, it is obvious MOST want in the arena with the most players/fun. If not, why is one arena maxed all the time and the other filled with those who got tired of the same old BS responses and gave up questioning? I mean 3 special event areans 2 that have nothing going on? an AvA arena where maybe 2 guys and a few shade accounts live? Up the arena caps a tad and it would help a ton. I still hate the "happy medium" of two arenas, but can live with it IF I can get in the one I desire. The holidays are here!!!!!
