Why not get your afts out of the arena and help out us 'Bots trying to survive in the missions!!??!!!!!
Earlier today there were no less then 5 different 'Bot commanders with their level 1 'Bots in the arena. Meanwhile there are no decent mission to join because we have no back-up. Come on Autobots we're never going to take back Cybertron sitting idle in the arena. :evil:

Can you really blame them for fearing the onslaught of the Decepticon army?

Good Luck AC.

Con's have been calling for bots to stop hiding in the arena for years.

i only do arena when:
A: a mission is heavily lopsided against me with only 2 minutes left on the counter
B: at the same time, i go straight into a fight, not sitting idle.

if you are going to sit idle, might as well log out of HMW and pat yourself on the back right there.

This.

Going in a lopsided mission can sometimes be a good way to make extra XP, at least more than you'd ever get in an Arena fight. The reason why I gave up on Arena fights was mostly due to the fact that my XP return on time spent fighting in the missions was a lot more profitable.

Even with my level 4-6 'Bots I always like the backup of as many Autobots as possible in the level 1-11 'Inferno: Hell Unleashed' missions, as well as the level 2-4 missions. I'm in the missions 16 hours a day, and RoS is in the missions even more than I am, so there's no need to complain about a lack of higher level Autobot backup anyhow.

So I agree with the OP: Autobot's, get out of the damn Arena and come play where it's REALLY at.

Case in point.

Yes, I lost both times. But both times I earnt more than my base xp AND put some 'Bots into the cr chamber for a few minutes.

Yes, i'm in there for an hour, but two bots just inconvenienced four bots for nearly 30 mins.

Now in a time of tournament, depriving the opposition of four bots even for only 30 mins can make a big difference.

That's how I wage war. What do you do?

I have had my level 1 'Bots lose in plenty of missions but still end up with more xp then they would have had in an arena battle. And more often then not in the arena you would end up almost in stasis anyways so why not take the chance. So you might get out of the CR a couple minutes earlier but isn't the xp gain worth it. I will say, tho, that I still go into the arena but only if there are no 'Con's in the current missions and there are 'Cons in the arena waiting.

The saddest thing is I doubt many of the Autobots this is aimed at even post in the forums so it is highly unlikely it will change. But remember this Decepticons, not all Autobots are cowards and hide in the arena.

It's how it's always been FOR BOTH SIDES.

Some people join up, find the game a bore and move on.

Some join up, play on but are more of a dump-and-run sort of person and don't have time to post.

Others might just be hesitant to dive into a established community.

I'm always open for suggestions on how to get more people to the forums. Perhaps a low-level tournament? (complete with news announcement just to stomp on some news crew toes! mwahahahahahaha)
