That's true, but it is probably more fun because it is only once a week. I don't think that format would sustain the Melee arena permanently.
If that's all the Melee was, then I think you'd lose most the already depleted customer base. it would make the current numbers look like Mardi Gras.
I think that is the prime problem with WO:P. There is no "Game" there. No ongoing "War". Just some dueling arena and a furball area.

Yup. Same reason FSO wouldn't work if that was the MA. Things like these are best scheduled, and not constant.
Dot Dar was better. Had to use our brains a little. Now we know where everyone is going and pretty much what they're flyin'.

It allows the people that won't read bardar to see things they otherwise wouldn't. Personally I think it's a good thing, as I think it creates more conflict where before if you weren't in a dar circle, you didn't exist to most people in the arena.
As far as "which way they're heading", you got that with dot dar by watching the dot dar for 2 ticks. That wasn't exactly a "challenge".
