Arena payout change proposal

The number one change I'd like to see in arena in this game would be if we could collect our payout whenever we want, and then immediately had a 24 hour cooldown until collecting the next payout.

This is how some other games work, and it works beautifully: no sniping, no weird schedule pressure, no crowded shards.

You just climb when you have time, collect rewards for your highest rank, and call it good. It solves so much of the angst that players experience in the arena.

The trick would be to find a mechanism that allows scarcity of prizes to be maintained, but without the pressure of an arbitrary arena payout time.

Are there other potential downsides that I'm missing? Please chime in with your thoughts.
  • Changing the payout amount because there are more payouts.

    And adding additional payouts to the day.

    Those 2 things would devalue the payout in the "mind of the player", which is what I mean by devalue. Not the biggest issue, but something to consider when looking at ideas like this.

    The model is fairly f2p friendly when all things considered. IMO
