Arena Parity and LONG climbs
Regardless of the GL left in on defense in my arena shard players getting to the top 5 routinely get knocked back past 50 on a daily basis. This makes climbs take hours and is a real slog. I sugge...

I will say, dynamic elements tend to be anything but an "easy adjustment".
I meant an easy adjustment to the logic of my suggestion. I have no idea how difficult the development on a change like that is.
What I do know is that grinding out the arena daily is an annoying chore unlike anything in the last few years. I don't mind the fighting but having to play every 10 minutes on a timer for a couple hours isn't enjoyable.
An easier way would be to just adjust the CD length from 10 min to 5 min or 7 min of whatever cg decides. The battles take up 3 or 4 minutes so a 5 min wait would be a big help. Even 7 minutes would save about 20 minutes on a climb.
This would also limit the locking out issue mentioned. It would be a little easier than it is now with a shorter CD timer but not a lot. You'd still have to burn crystals to keep a spot locked indefinitely.
I also think that this could be implemented without cg paying a ton of crystals out. It'd still be a slog just not as bad as now. So those that currently don't bother probably still won't. So no change in the total crystals paid out.
Also worth mentioning, a zero cd could have the unintended consequence of having drops become far more severe than falling to 50. If players in the hundreds can do 5 battles within 20 minutes there may be significantly more people climbing into the 50s sending those in the top down even further.
I think a smaller adjustment would have a smaller unintended effect.
