The new currency (materials for relics) looks to be primarily coming from live arena.

It is always hard to quit a game after four years time investment, but i think the determination to force live arena down my throat will be the push i need to finally stop playing to be honest. 

So much about it is frustrating - despite being in silver (as i havent been playing the mode) i seem to regularly be matched against 25 million+ power players with the narses/ankora combo, a super fast armanz (faster than mine at 395 speed) and a couple of mythics so despite being in silver my win rate is about 60% . I have no idea how they find so many players in silver with these rosters.

All too often when i do match, i have to sit waiting forever for the opponent to pick or to move 

And i have a specific time of day when i can play without a problem. Arena is closed at that time of day so if i even want to do my advanced quests i have to try and log in later in the evening. 

I know lots here love the mode, but i doubt i am alone in really disliking it. If engagement was currently good they would not be adding the quests etc

Agreed, you can usually tell right then if youre gonna win or lose.  Or at a minimum which one you have a better chance at happening.

It's possible but we have very limited information so far about where stuff will be coming from.

Hopefully seasonal Live Arena will be an improvement as well.

I would love to hear more about wtf "seasonal" live is

You are not alone, I hate it and rarely played before they put the daily in.  I'm in S2 and I must have missed something in an update about matchmaking  cos I don't know why the teams I'm matched with are S2 teams, because I just get the same teams as you,  I'm endgame FTP and don't have mythics or the huge hitters and I'm wiped out most battles, so now if I have time when it's open I may play, but geez the pick time and matchmaking is just draining and actually better not to bother

Teh hell are the drop rates on that lego book?

Not one single person in my cluster has gotten it yet. Personally, I've been getting the 'win' 5 chest about 3/4 days, no book.

I'm wondering this as well. I've gotten the chest almost every day since they introduced it and still have not seen a leggo book.

The easy way to do live arena!!

Can confirm it exists but the rates gotta be hella low.

One guy in my cluster got it yesterday.

I got on both accounts first couple days last month.  See if I get lucky again this month

Still haven't seen one yet.  

We're now up to 2 people in my 5-clan cluster who have gotten the lego book
