I have been a player for more than a year now and I must say that the game is getting better and better. I have reached level 78, have spend quite a lot of money of this game BUT the frustration, annoyance and anger that I get from playing the Arena is endlessly overwhelming.
It has not been my favorite part of the game at all since day one but yet I have been forced to play it as otherwise I cannot make my champions stroger and go up the other parts of the game. I am stuck between Silver 4 and Gold 1 ( which is impossible to pass). I keep fighting stronger players that can spend more money, making thier champions stronger than mine and really struggling to go up! Not an help to go up from Plarium. I can admit that I am not really good at it like some other players but I cannot be forced to become extremely proficient and efficient in something that I do not really like nor enjoy. I was lured to this game being playing the Campaign which I liked and I still like also playing the other part of the game but never the arena.
The whole Great Hall concept is a mammoth task and seems like climbing up the Everest! Even if I play a lifetime, I will never get all golds in the Great Hall. Virtually impossible! This is truly disheartening and off putting, let alone UNFAIR! When the game started off the first players did not need to get 1000 Golden Metal to reach Level 10 but less! How am I supposed to reach the Arbitrer from the Missions, which is a pivotal player in the Arena and would help me to be more competitive, when It is taking me so much time to get at Level 7 (700 Gold medals )on one mission and Level 8 (800 Gold Medals) on another mission at a pace of 2 gold medals or 3 Silver Medals each time (if I manage to win)?? Just in a life time!
I cannot go up with my Dungeouns Level as my champions base stats are not getting high enough, I cannot go up the Doom Tower and play maybe the Hard level, because my champions base stats are not high enough. I cannot play the clan bosses and get high value items as my champions base stats are high enough, I cannot finish my Faction wars and get Lidia because my champions base stas are not high enough!!!
Every aspect of the game goes around the arena and depends massively on it. I log in every day, I do spend a bit of money at times but not crazy amount because I have a life to live , bills to pay and a social life to enjoy. And where I am standing at in the game?? Stuck at mid game and impossible to reach higher levels unless I will spend a fortune and waste all my life and time in the Arena! I could keep pouring in more money into their pockets but it seems that they will not do anything to make thier customers more satisfied as well as listening properly to the complaints about the game.
Does Plarium really want this from his customers?? Get them frustrated and pushing them to spend more money for than making them staying at the same level?? Does Plarium understands that we are all different and enjoy different things of the game? I have been working in the customer care sector for all my life and I do not think that Plarium really understand how unfairly they are treating all of us. Please prove me wrong!
I really want to hope that things will change in the Arena, take feedbacks on board and make things much fairer all their players. I hope this complian will manage to resonate inside of them and prompt them to make a change!
