Ya Pay to Win ,,, or just Dont play in Arena ..
OH WAIT , you have to because they tied so many areas of the game into Arena
The Biggest being the Great hall
Then the mission for the bonus energy so you can play longer
Then the *Get to Bronze III * mission and Quest ( Completely cat poo as a new player now )
the Entire Arbiter Quest , what a laugh , but Sure was OK 6 months ago
( But Now that all the players from Gold and Silver are in Bronze , DUH )
Oh Ya ,, How to get 3 Stars in Guild ,, ** Fight in Arena 12 Times **
Lotsa Fun is you Lose 10 out of 12 isnt it
(( but then again you can do what i do , Enter , ESC, Lose ,, you dont get any points for Great hall but you get the bonuses , You ALSO GET EXPERIENCE getting smeared by Speed Nukers that should never be in Bronze in the first place when you do decide you might win agaisnt that team ))
but
WORKING AS INTENDED <<< Dont know how many times I seen that
in games i do not play anymore
NO FUN EQUALS NO NEW PLAYER RETENTION !!!
