I've been trying to think about the complete failure of the arenas lately and can only conclude that Kabam has either zero employees working in QA, or that they are not working.
I cannot see the justification for the recent changes to the Arena Battle Costs (abc). It is throwing the player economy on its head and creating too much dissatisfaction in the community.
Firstly, the recent 5 Star Arena was a complete act of theft. The ABC (arena battle cost) was an insane 5 gems per fight. However, this is not a special arena, nor a 6 star card and one we had fairly recently with Ticket/Gold cost.
What is the thought process of making this arena cost Gems???
Secondly, the Scroll and Potions arenas are a weekly happening and its very welcome. However, they used to cost 1 ticket each, and have 2 days to complete. Now it has gone up from an initial 200 Gold, to 300 and currently 500 Gold. What is the reason behind the increase? There are no more Gold rewards for Might on the arenas, so why the steep incline???
Why is it that the community and player base is constantly being utilized for Kabam's Beta testing? Where are you Beta testers and QA to sort these things out and make an overall fair arena experience???
Aaron, you have stated before that you are in charge of Arena prizes and rewards, you should see the mistake you have made and at least double the prizes for the 5 Star Arena from yesterday for those that used real money Gems to participate in a free to play arena. And you should start focusing more on fair prizes and ABCs (Arena Battle Costs), because it seems that you just throw together whatever you feel like for the arenas.
Finally, the variety of the Arenas has been appalling lately, and very repetitive. Scroll and Pot arenas make total sense and should be a mainstay, but how about making Arenas of cards that get no exposure, like Galzra Super Arena that hasnt happened for many months, or new cards like the Angel of Law a couple months ago.
This situation is turning off and turning away alot of players and on our server, Arthur-41 we dont even have 100+ people on the Scroll arena, and less then 200 on the Weekly Fire Arena...(and weekly arenas are so silly as well, waste of time and lack of prizes).
Please address this Aaron and do your job with some more thought process and justification then just how you feel about it in the moment.
Sincerely,
The Kabam Players Community.
