Interesting topic for discussion.
I guess that the amount of mines being set to 12 would have also be linked to team sizes since back then it would have been rare to have 4 teams with 1 person per team. So now you will have a potential 48 mines placed instead of what would essentially have been 24 mines due to the now flexed team sizes.
Applying x mines per person would take away the whole point of it being a team. If you do not want to play as part of a team then go on your own private team. Teammates are there to play along with and not there to have less people to run away from!
I would say that the amount of mines should now be flexed based on population. However my reasoning, unlike some, is not to annoy the long term players but to help any new player into the zone during low populations. I highly doubt they would stick around for long when every time they find someone to shoot at they get mined repped to death.
Having flexible settings would also allow 12 mines (and potentially more!) to be set for when there is enough people in the arena to make it fun.
