Welcome to Live Arean, the most hated portion of the game.  

I wasn't specifying the live arena...I won't even venture there! I had a personal GUT feeling that wasn't going to be a fair fight the first time it was introduced to me. I meant the regular and tag-team PvP battles. How many pages must someone scroll through to find one team that isn't packed full of level 60 fighters?? Did anyone consider this when making the PvP battles to begin with? Maybe have Mini-Boss battles instead? or maybe have a tier system in place-like an olympic stadium with olympian competitors(spelling?)? Anything else is better than the sink or swim method, especially when you need to compete 5 times in one day for a daily goal! 

It takes time and patience.  Choose the fights you can win or at least have a chance.  

The game isnt going to change.  Focus your engery on how to win.  Use this forum for advice.  There re a lot great players here offering advice.  

Matchmaking is probably the most frustrating part for me. A close fight can be enjoyable even when you lose, but facing a team that is clearly on a completely different level does not feel competitive. More consistent matchmaking would help a lot.

Having to go through these battles daily as we all have to do, I've come to realize the worse thing overall about having these teams so unevenly matched is the only way to FIND a team to battle, you have to spend a WHOLE LOT of gems!!! I had over 900 then quickly had 4!! 😟 Are you serious??!

Do not spend gems on arena resets. That is an absolute waste of resources.

You don't have to win 5 Classic Arena fights; you only have to fight 5. If you really can't beat any teams that pop for you, then maybe you want to fall down a Tier?  Just fight & lose 5 times.

However, PVP is an integral part of Raid, and the more you advance in the game, the more PVP & PVE are intertwined. You should invest some time to learn PVP Strategies & Builds.
