arena caps and ENY
« on: April 23, 2011, 06:56:14 PM »
Please explain to me, in all your wisdom why you have an arena cap so i can't go in a certain arena, and force me to go into one where the ENY is soooo FN high, i can barely up a box kite.

Because when there were 800ish people in one arena it created a toxic environment and the subscription base stopped growing.  When there are too many people the chat buffer becomes useless as a communication tool.

For the past 6 years I never had problems with arena caps, just wait 5min and they'll drop.

If you don't like the ENY go to the other arena, it will most likely be low. Yeah ENY sucks and I hate it, but would you really want to see La-7s and Spit16 when your outnumbered 10 to 1? Chose something with a high ENY to fly and you'll be good (or something that has a older variant that handles almost the same).

Actually, problem made worse in this case. SE country on this map always gets ganged (as is the case now) 3 dar cons on entire nit/bish front, the rest of both countries are ganging rooks, who must defend with 17 eny planes. Jumping countries to get better plane with which to aggravate the gang? (For whatever reason, all the bish are in Blue last few days) Rooks have 88...Nits like 76, Bish like 45....and Bish are taking Rook bases.....mebbe zone population can figger into eny? The scenario would be workable but for having to fly D25's and A8's against spit 16's and Lgays and M's

That happens to me almost everyday I fly.

IMO the ENY is used more to stop base rolling with low ENY highly destructive airplanes.

Cap/eny threads are the lifeblood of the General Discussion tho.  Without them, this place would die.

Its a catch 22 into a vicious circle mixed with some slanderous accusations and cut with a vicious ugly rumor or two. That is what sums up the ENY caps problem. It's a problem for some and not for others. This means the others will tell the some to go to another arena, switch sides, or fly the higher ENY plane.  :bolt:
