@Kracks If what you want is more arena teams to fight against, I think you're going to have to go where the people already are. You're in a bracket where the vast vast majority of potential opponents are F2P, and it should be clear why they wouldn't want to queue against imba Vet opponents.
I feel like what you're really asking for, is for more subscribers to roll a 20 Vet to arena with you. My question is, why would they? Anyone interested in doing that has already done so. Again the vast vast majority of people who give money to Blizzard are obviously going to be playing endgame or Classic right now. There is literally nothing to draw them to 20s that they don't already have wherever they're already playing, except of course the opportunity to roflstomp on F2Ps and levelers. And obviously no one's going to queue for that.
So in reading this thread objectively, I'm struck by this question: if the most important thing to you is that you get more arena pops, then -why not- roll a pure F2P and re-invigorate that community? You would have tons of potential teams to play against, and people would be much more inclined to participate if they knew the outcome would be based on skill and not money. I get that you -prefer- Vet arenas because bursty damage is more precise, etc. And that's totally cool, but, if the choice is between playing a ton with your non-preferred low burst, or playing not-at-all with your preferred high burst.... what will you choose?
You can't go on complaining that no one is rolling imba vets when a) nobody wants to or has reason to roll them, and b) no one wants to or has reason to queue against them. Again, go where the people are! I am certain that if you re-direct that great amount of energy and passion you have into a project, you will get results. Nevermind the burstiness of it; encourage gameplay where the people already are. You've already had several people tell you they'd be up for that. You only need to be willing to walk away from the enchants and allow skill and reaction time to be the deciding factors.
I mean at the very least, why not do this on the side, while you're waiting for your Vet Arena ship to come in?
Just a suggestion.
