Competition in arena

The way to make arena competitive is to make one payout per shard, give some credit for being higher than last payout and massive decrease in prize for being lower.
There can/should be only one, even though we gave a rule of two, and play NOT Highlander game.
Really, this aint a cry post, just love to see dog eat dog rather than some let's share fantasy.
And yes, the weaklings could still co-work, but let there be price to pay a.d let the biggest winner be the one to bring mayhem.

  • Our shard has been more competitive than ever other the last month. Not really sure what a single payout does to change anything. Really that's just more people that would miss out on rewards and probably stop playing. Arena rewards are the only location to get a solid amount of crystals.

    Besides hoarding, you need a steady income of crystals just to keep doing 600, and bump in arena on those bad days. Never mind gear and the occasional shard hunt.
  • Sure, with 2 more suggestions:
    1) The payout is at 9pm for me, 4am for you
    2) Sell a "pass" to trump first place... I'm sure that one would generate good revenue

    Oh, and:
    3) Sell a "curse" for the disgruntled: cancel all (or top-x) payout for that day (just out of spite, with no benefit whatsoever). I'm sure this one would generate even more revenue than (2).

    If you're having to chain lock to maintain rank (which you will have to) you are not even fighting. The winner is the muppet who just refreshes a ton of crystals and stares at the fake combat... they then probably get just enough crystals to pay for their OCD first place fixation and end up net zero. It would be counter what you want and also damage a good community.
