I can agree with you Daffyd. It's a way to get some of the best items in the game (especially the weapons rival BT content) and we need those 10 games a week to gather points for them.
Keep in mind that tuesdays are the last day before points are accounted for the week, so it's not without a reason that we need to respect the times we agreed upon. I know it's all for fun and stuff, however 3 or four people waiting for a fifth to come up is a tad troublesome (same as you need 10 ppl in kara and are waiting for 2 ppl that come in after an hour overdue).
On a brighter note, it seems that november 20th will become the end of season 2 and season 3 will begin. The changes to arena system will be a lot more strickt and will depend on personal arena quoting that will make it for us a lot more difficult to get points in (1850 personal rating for the gear, 2000 for the shoulders). So try to get these last couple of weeks the points we can get easily
Also we are having some wins in there, for the more serious players among us that want to get a bit better in arena, i really think we can get something going in S3 when we can practice a bit more and try to focus to actually win some more
