We removed four arenas and it didn't really help. People are just not really playing SG.

Given that, there are two options:

Reduce arenas:
Pros:
Works to create larger games with the same net amount of people.
Cons:
Players without kits may prefer smaller games where there are less likely to be kit users. Same logic applies for players who have kits but would prefer to play without them. This could however make them feel as if basically waiting for a kit free game is not worth their time and they stop playing altogether.

Balance/Improve Gameplay
Pros:
Making the game more balanced and/or fun to play would increase the net amount of total SG players (and possibly number of players on the server).
Cons:
People who supported for kits may not appreciate them being nerfed.

I think it's obvious what the better option is but the fact kits were bought with real money stands in the way of significant change. People paid to be the best even if they're the only ones playing.

-1 I like all the arenas, and agree with Nicit

 

I believe that we never should have removed four arenas in the first place. It only concentrated kitters into fewer arenas, and further encouraged excess kitting. I loved being able to go to arenas 5-8 and have more options (RIP Arena 5 <\3).

Oh well, the past is the past. I do agree with nicit, in that there's really no good way to "fix" SG without encountering major bumps in the road. Removing another arena would encourage kitting even more, and decreasing SG options certainly wouldn't help the player count in SG. Sorry.

Honestly, I agree that kits should be nerfed ASAP. The only real issue I see now is spy and then the other kits need to be adjusted slightly.
