Any arena shake up is a bad idea. If you take people who are used to being at the top and shove them to the bottom. That isn't going to encourage them to spend more, it is going to encourage them to STOP PLAYING.

I used to play a game called outwar. People kept asking for server mergers due to inactivity. The game finally ended up doing it to reduce costs... and the small amount of people actually playing the game dropped by 50%!!!!

People think rearrangements are a good thing, but all they do is minimize the time people have invested, there is no actual gain for the majority of the population.

I dont think you can generalize like that, at all. Have you ever read a book called “Mindset”? I think you, sir, have a fixed one.
I wont bother explaning (seriously, read the book, its enlightening), but other people have a growth mindset, in which challenges are welcomed because they represent chance of growing.
Id love a shard shufffle even though I finish top 10 everyday - it would bring a lot of fun and competitiveness in a boring and colluded shard.
Bring. It. On

It's not a generalization. It is a true statement based on experience with many games like this.

Firstly, the idea that you are going to bring anyone back to the game is laughable. People either come back or they don't (the latter is more likely), so once people are gone, they are gone.

Most people that are in the "boring" situation of fighting the same people for years on old dead shards like getting their free rewards... that's why they are still playing. This will be the majority of players on older shards because more older shards will be mostly dead than very active. (numbers indicate this, so it is also not a presumption).

Basically, you are responding as though this is an opinion, when it is really just the way things work in this type of thing. Arena mixups have NEVER gone over well in any of the dozen+ games I have seen try it.

And for pete's sake people: THERE IS NO COLLUSION IN ARENA!!! Your morals are not laws, cooperation is not collusion. Mods already shut down one thread about it and warned everyone not to bring up the topic again. Quit saying it, quit thinking it. It isn't true and will only get you in trouble.
