Remove live arena from the daily missions and watch particpation instantly drop 95% :P

Plarium hasnt demonstrated to me that they understand player concerns with LA or that they have the technical skills to make it functional. They can remove it and replace it with an existing app. More and more players are avoiding it so why waste resources?
I find the inferences people make without data fascinating. 🤔

Plarium wont tell us the participation rate if LA is removed from daily missions. We have no data. I am willing to give up 130 energy per day to avoid LA. That is how much I dislike it.

I don't think the energy is the big loss. To me it's the primals, relic mats from seasonal and area bonuses.

Assuming the roughly ~150 people in my cluster represent a typical breakdown of the playerbase as a whole:
More than 75% don't do live arena at all. A few did only enough to get horsey and havent done so much as a battle since. Maybe 15% of us go for the 5 wins a day.
One dude likes live arena. ONE. Everyone else hates it. Most of them hate it so much they would rather give up getting dailys completed and forfeit the energy than bother doing 3 matches.

It seems to me that your cluster cannot be representative. If it was truly as universally disliked by late/end game players as you infer: "Most of them hate it so much they would rather give up getting dailys completed and forfeit the energy than bother doing 3 matches.", then even Plarium would have to admit it was a failure and they'd do something different with it.
I am assuming here that the majoirty of your 150 person sample are late/end game players, but that may or may not be accurate. For players that are early/mid game, I can see it being quite different, and IMO, Plarium opens LA to players too early in their progression, and then LA becomes a pain point becasue they get pummeled and then become disillusioned....but that could be fixed by pushing back the level at which LA opens.
There are players that dislike all PVP components of the game, and nothing is going to get those players to like LA; however, of the players that genuinely enjoy PVP, I imagine that quite a few of them enjoy LA enough to do it. My biggest complaint about LA is the same as my biggest complaint about Raid as a whole: Time.
I typed up a long response, but then deleted it. I don;t want to derail this thread into yet another 'LA is a dismal failure' thread, and there really nothing I have to say I haven;t already said in 4 of those other threads.
So let's bring it back to QOL wishlist items:
I would really love to see some indicator on the champ selection thumbnails to show whether they're full-geared or not. Such a PITA failing a run because you forgot to put pieces back onto a champ that you borrowed for FW hard or sin city or whichever.
It'd be extra amazing if there were some sort of 'undo fitting room' feature. Like I gear a champ using pieces off of 5 different champs. Do the run, then go back into the inventory interface and click a single 'reverse' button to put those pieces back where I got them.
I don't think the energy is the big loss. To me it's the primals, relic mats from seasonal and area bonuses.
Unless youre buying primals I feel like you absolutely have to get those. Its not like theyre handing out primals left and right.

A "borrow" feature would be cool.
400 artifact and accessory storage slots en route in the next update for the people that don't ever cleanse :)

Completely incorrect typically...

smh :)
accessories i can understand. artifacts are a tougher sell
A few PVP QoLs:
(1) Separate Page of Team Presets for Siege. Arena Auras don't work in Siege, so it is really dumb that we have to share the same group of Team Presets.
(2) Allow us to use Team Presets to set Classic Defense & 3v3 Defense.
(3) Revamp 3v3 into a more engaging & rewarding game mode that allows progression by the mass of players that feel locked out of the Ramantu Missions.
(4) Increase Monthly LA Primal Limit to at least 6.
In live arena, it would be nice to shorten the time one has to pick champion, if they wait for time to run out and the program picks their champions. Or even better, put a button on the screen for them to just have the program pick instead of us having to wait..
This I second, I really cant stand waiting the timer out. I feel alot of people do that hoping to get the easy win from ppl like myself who quit because they dont want to wait it out.

Indeed I enjoy live arena and it would be a shame if it was gone anytime soon.

Well said, I enjoy live arena and im not an endgame player at all. I just reached lvl 64. My issue is the time as well. It takes entirely to long waiting for players who dont choose their champs.
Would be nice to have a way to mass remove artifacts from champions. I often forget I've thrown artifacts on low level champions for Faction Wars and on mobile, it's hard to see the avatars for champions on the 'equipped' filter.
Connecting people together in game more easily by allowing Clan leaders to add other clans to their clan chat by invitation only to the other clans leader and by that leader accepting. This would allow a more direct communication in game between cluster clans than having to use a 3rd party app like discord
While your at it add a friends list we can DM in chat or whisper
