Surrey, whenever its possible, a second arena is indeed started. Again, "there usually aren't enough players active at one time for a second arena to be valid" seems to be a factor overlooked. People aren't demanding to play pro-tier opponents, they are simply lamenting the ability to get into a prac at all.
I specifically attempt to identify similar level to play with and against, and generally stay out of pracs quite happily when its all top-tier or ridiculous lopsidedness, except where there just isn't another 8th option to be found.
You would have us think players like myself (incomparable with a potential decent player like Mr. B-Hole, btw, who'd be checking your lanc for coeliac with a season with the right training and support) refuse to play unless its against quality opponents. That's massively erroneous. They just want a game. The age of Subspace is a factor because the players aren't teenage kids with a day to kill, waiting a while for a game is a big deal - people think, it'll take a while but hopefully my .cap should come up before too long. It's frustrating to have that patience abused - and again I feel there's many legit reasons but there should be guidelines for use in place.
I say "they" just want a game because I don't personally feel denied opportunity. I've actually pracced twenty more times this month than you have. I'm not arguing that I don't get to play (I manage a team in an almost non-playing capacity - that's fulfilling enough for me). I'm only arguing that a tool that seems to a newcomer to be unjust, and has no delineated clarification for its usage, puts forth a poor image to that newcomer.

Best answer of course is to find more players - would resolve most of this. But how?

One of the three most dangerous people in Subspace.
