sometimes it only takes one fight,the understanding I had was that there was an effort being made to draw a crowd of players into AVA that wanted something different from the norm.perhaps I was mistaken
The AvA
is different, if for no other reason than the fact you know you won't end up with some bizarro-world P-51 vs. P-47 fight.
Other than that, it is what the players make of it. Had you simply said on 200 you would prefer a series of 1v1 fights rather than a "furball", I know of at least one player who would have been happy to oblige.
Instead, you complained and then quit before anyone could respond -- which, by the way, was very "MA" of you.
So, really, your experience was your own doing. Hopefully you will come to realize that and give it another shot. I for one would be happy to have a rematch or several.
