Personally I would say that Arena is everything in this game, whether it be for ships or just the normal arena.To me it seems like everything is set up just for arena, for example light/darkside battles is for gear and shards to power up characters. GW gets shards to power up characters, and raids give rewards to power up characters such as gear and shards. The only reason to upgrade characters in the first place would be to be for the arena right? Where you battle with your powered up characters against others?But lately ive been hearing people say that arena is not the most important aspect of the game. But, it seems that everything just builds up for arena in some way or another. I was curious as to why arena wouldn't be considered the most important aspect of the game, and if its not yours, then what is?

Some people like the collector's aspect, of trying to complete thier rosters. But that's a very very long-term goal.IMO arena is the most important part of the game since it's the main source of crystals in the game. I also enjoy the PvP aspect of arena, and I'm sure most others do too.

What he said. Arena = crystals and arena tokens. Both are very valuable.

It's one piece of the game which you might happen to care about because you want to beat other people, but not everybody plays the game to be competitive. People might enjoy it for different reasons. Personally, I hate arena and would enjoy the game more if it didn't exist.

I have to agree, when a should I restart thread comes around there is this theme of don't worry about arena.Arena is not everything, but it is the part of the game that I think allows you to be flexible without spending outside what you are comfortable with.It makes everything faster and easier. Sure you don't need to get a toon geared or farmed faster,but it helps.

GW is my fave. way more fun than the rest

Is Arena Everything in This Game?

Arena is exploitable, and massively exploited, by players colluding to control the results, and as a result, it creates that feeling.

Just battle everyone, don't reply forum requests to join shard chat groups, and finish wherever your team can, by working alone. It is called player vs player, not player vs group of people who collude.....Lol.

That's called a whale. Derp.

It's a very very long-term goal for f2p or casual spenders.
