If you don't like the current Arena format, the solution is the play the version you don't like a lot so that you have 1 vote to maybe make it differnet the next time.

Certainly a flaw in the system unless you just play regular matches which if you care about this then it'd further the point of "play the version you don't like"...
Anyways, as others have said, everything the same is disappointing, I understand Colonies is still in BETA but I think a map change would have been be fair game/expected.

games don't have to be in arena to be counted so you can play your favorite mode outside of arena and still get a vote (as long as you are one of the most motivated players)

Sadly random map wasn't an option
Random map (among Tharsis/Hellas/Elysium) would be an amazing option, and it would make things a lot less stale. Everyone should vote for it here if they haven't yet:

I'm not sure how we can bring it to the devs' attention, just how valuable this change would be. I think it's really important and a massive payoff for the amount of effort it might take (granted, I do not know the codebase, nor how much effort it would require).
+1 to random map and vote using link above

I am so tired of the Tharsis map and same milestones/awards. I really want a change. I'm so disappointed nothing changed this season too.

Disapointing, at least new map would be nice, or venus/colonies added.

People play outside of arena?

Is that really the case? How about friendly games that are abandoned? Could you just spam useless games to be a "guru"?

Where was the vote for season changes?
I would have liked a map or player count change.
