Arena Changes: Rewards, Brackets Increased, New Arenas

First off, I grind in the arenas all the time. It’s the main source of my units and gold and makes up the most of my time in the game. That being said, I hate arenas. They are absolutely horrible, tedious, and unrewarding. The only reason to do them are the units and battlechips at this point. With bots in the arenas and whales spending thousands of units on refreshes, it’s nearly impossible to get rewards that match the effort you put in.
Let’s take a look at the five star featured arena. The rank rewards are terrible for the main reason that they give so little shards and that the brackets are so bad. I usually put in around 2-3 million points just to get into the 31-60% bracket to get my 500 shards but this past arena, I decided to put up 6 million—double to triple of my usual grind—and still placed in the same bracket, earning the same 500 shards for thrice the effort. Now I may come off as whiny, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to either create a new bracket for 30-50% and 51-70% (or along those lines) and have the shards for those be 750 and 500 respectively OR to just bump the amount of shards given to 750 and increase the shards for the next to brackets to 1,500 and 2,500. Similar adjustments should be made for the four star featured.
We also need at least two new arenas, one being a basic five-star arena that features the same champion as the basic four star and use 4-5 champions. The second new one should be a tier 2 alpha arena. I’m not saying you should get a full one at the end of the milestones or even for the rank rewards, but having the ability to earn up to 12,000 fragments (over milestones and ranks) would be nice.
Other arenas need to be retouched, such as the tier 4 class catalyst arena. The final milestone should be a tier 4 cc crystal and the second to last should be, say, 15 t4 cc fragment crystals. Just to ensure that if you spend the 10k battlechip fee, you will actually get something worth your time.
Other suggestions I have that aren’t necessary but would be nice to have is a refresh all button, more gold (just another 100 or so) given for each fight won, and scaling battlechips so higher star champions earn more per fight than lower tiers (i.e. a team of 3 five stars nets 450 battlechips instead of 300).

I also would love to see a t2a shard milestone added to the alpha arena and a t5b shard milestone added to the t4b arena.
I also agree that it is time for a 5* basic arena.
In short, I fully agree with the OP.
I don’t know if those suggestions are necessarily the best solution, but something needs to change. Must people just don’t have the time to grind 3 days in a row to reach that many points! Only top 800 out of how many thousands of people playing? Please everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, needs to comment and make Kabam hear us and finally make a change!!
