Arena is dull and boring

My win/loss ratio has not changed after update so please don't think that's what I'm here to talk about.
My biggest complaint, besides the unfair nerfing of anakin and fotp, is that arena experience has became dull. You can literally pick up any decent toons and beat any team.

I'll be honest, I'm not a whale, I've spent around $1400 to collect great characters but to also gain an advantage. The advantage the spenders had, and there was a little one before update, is now gone.
If this was their intention for the last update, then that's fine, but I don't feel the need to spend anymore.
You're not encouraging spending when you even out the playing field. Instead, you alienate spenders and we get bored.
But hey!, guilds are kinda cool!. ( still won't be spending).

    Fair point but at least more toons are viable. Also, are we sure spending $1400 doesn't qualify for whale status?

    $1400 is a whale. You're just not a kraken. And eventual evening of the field is needed or you'll alienate 90%+ of the rest of the players. And there's far more money in the other 90% than the few really high spenders.

    yep $1400 is not whale.. but definitely a lot of money for any mobile game.

    I still have fun with arena. i guess farm slowly is more fun than just get every toon instantly..

    Well you will get more fun if you play slowly and farm it everyday..


    I don't know. Thats a ton of money. That's way more than a months rent in 95% of the country. I honestly don't know how people spend that kind money (let alone whatever you guys think is a whale benchmark) on a product like this. Must be nice.

    I disagree, when you even out the playing field, it further discourage spending across the board from everyone. You do not gain anything from spending so why do it?.

    When your rent is $300 a month and you have even a minimum wage job thats 20+ hours, without a child, you have a lot of disposable income for hobbies.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention I live in the UK where the minimum wage is around £7 or $10.

    Some would argue that not having everyone with the exact same 5 characters makes arena less boring.

    Better check your math. Minimum wage at $7.25 an hour and working full time is $1160 a month. Adjust for taxes, food, utilities, and misc, and you don't have that much left over to be spending a lot on a mobile game.
