It's reasonable to ask HTC to review these ideas and let the community know what resources are available to further develop this arena.
You might think so, but AvA wishlist posts rarely if ever get a company response one way or the other.
That's disappointing, because the arena does have its fans and a team of dedicated volunteers who could use a couple more tools to help the arena reach it's potential.
In Oct 2008 it was mentioned that the AI engine would be redeveloped for use by CM's.
I don't know if this is still planned, or if AvA would even be included in the use of this feature if it does come about, but if not, I wonder if HTC might be willing to take a look at the map reset and rotation issue?
Currently, we have to trick the arena to prevent a reset because it will often reset to non AvA configuration.
As the main arenas have base capture and win the war to stimulate combat and allow a variety of playing styles, it would help if we could do the same with an AvA historical twist.
If we could choose what it would reset to and also have an ordered map rotation, we could provide a culmination of goals and strategy and provide the players with a satisfying "Yeehaw we did it!" experience.
This might move us beyond being a psuedo SEA or a two country, plane limited furball only arena.
We just can't seem to learn if HTC considers this type of development to be simple, difficult, impossible, or the arena simply not worth any company effort.
Unfortunately, one can't help but feel the silence indicates the latter.
I hope HTC read all this the AvA is wasted as it is. 
I disagree that the AvA is a waste, the arena provides a good time to those who fly there, and there's enough of us to probably at least pay HTC's electric bill.
Hitech is correct in his assertion that the AvA will likely never draw huge numbers, but we do get decent turnout from time to time. Sat night we had 30 plus, and even with only 10 or 11 Mon night and 5 or 6 Tues night, it was a lot of fun.
I believe it has more potential.
Having a healthy AvA community would be good for everyone.
I think it is close to that right now and could improve.
