The arena is now the real Doom Tower!
It is like rolling down a staircase.
How did you like the last reset? Did you arbitrarily go down maybe a few hundred points cuz you were near the top of your tier and then got reset to the bottom? That was worth maybe 25-30 battles in one fell swoop. Then when you hit the bottom, sitting there leaves you open to attack and you can get bumped down into next lower tier, how's that for a fun game? Then you have a very hard time recovering cuz the same people you could not beat in your old tier are down there with you.
I guess eventially most of the golds will roll into bronze, do not see any way around it. You cannot possibly get better in time to counteract what the decreasing GH bonuses are doing to you. The people that were legitimately really good will probably stay that way, but many others will spiral down, down, down.
Plarium would like you to spend your way out of this, and get an elevator ride back upward, no thanks, there are real things in life that are best served by $$$.
