Currently the Big Arenas are worthless to the players (I wrote a short Contact Us complaint as well, but since I know pretty much every other major player agrees, I wanted to start a thread here too).
* First off, they take forever to kill the ~200 or so players. Most of them die quickly since they've been inactive forever, but it is a huge time sink since there is NO glory and/or gold reward for killing them like there is in the smaller arenas. Note that we have to pay to revive after we die in the arena, but no one gets the gold for winning... ***Please give us Gold and Glory so we have some intentive to try.***
* The rewards are completely worthless compared to having to 'win' the server arena of ~200 players. This morning was 950M.E... I can make way more in gold and drops killing myself and fighting monsters instead of trying in the arena.
* There are two major reasons to simply give up and not try, being as the Arenas have nothing to do with skills, gear or stats; 1) Several Rigged admin accounts often beat out top players (i.e. "Duma the King", "Magdalena", "Brandalina", etc...). 2) Any level newbie with a counter strike can 'return-fire' and 1 shot any of the top players.
--------------------------------------
Honestly I'd love to see the counter strike removed so that the arena was more stats/gear/skills than complete luck, but since I doubt that would every happen, I'd simply request that GOLD and GLORY be received for killing players in the Arenas. I'm sure this will help motivate most people since it would be a rare and excellent source of glory for most players, which is required for questing.
Thanks for reading.
