I'll tell you whats harder than arena bronze III ...
... Palrium getting any more of my money until I am past the stage I need arena to progress.
I don't have much interst in or desire to put all my game time into PvP. To all the appologists for the game - Arena is one facet of this game, there are lots of other and often more engaging challenges, but it is Arena that is causing so many of us grief. It is broken and elite players telling me to "man up" and bring my team up to gold level just to beat bronze only adds to my frustration and resentment.
Heeding advice on this forum I got rid of most of my rares to lower my player power which has, as a poster elsewhere said "fubared" me especially in faction wars and with fusion. I don't know of any other game which requires you to delete progress (in the form of champions collected) in order to progress? how insane is that?
While the Arena cock-up has been in place those stuck are ramping up their player power by enhancing there artifacts and getting new champs, which they are forced to do in order to complete daily/weekly tasks, so when the magic arena fix does happen I do hope player power is not a consideration in match making. What does the number of champions I own have to do with my current arena team?
I'm a gamer through and through and love to play for enjoyment and to relive stress and boredom - I don't enjoy getting one-shot buy a team I should not be facing and it is oh so boring constantly getting my ass kicked.
Seperate PvP and PvE elements of the game, put player power in the dustbin and while I am ranting - cut the cost of everything in terms of finances and time spent.
I enjoy the game, why else would I take the time and bother of posting, when it is running smoothly I hope to stick around.
