Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

Dear Kabam, can you please tell us...

They hire Designers, sure. Do they hire them specifically because they haven't gotten to exploring the possibility of revisiting Arenas? Not likely.
This Thread is drawing a fine line between suggestion and demand.
True, we’d like to have some changes in arenas. Ant it’s true that even if it’s being discussed in Kabam they couldn’t admit it as it’d raise thousands of posts/discussions/complains in the case it took too long/was ineffective or outcome unsatisfying.

On the flipside, a 5* Basic arena would at least increase our ability to expand our 5* rosters by awarding a 'newer' champ in the 1-10% rank that has already been in the feature. By the time a champ makes it to the 4* Basic they're readily available in the Basic Pool and their value for Feature Crystals has diminished. While the aforementioned expansion of the Feature champs availability via the 1-10% is nice in theory, it's not smart business wise. The game needs to have consistent income for us to continue enjoying it. So I see both sides and it's a balancing act for them.
Anyway there is a 5 minute fix that would not require hiring new people or significant manpower. Here you go:
1. Improve milestone rewards. PHC's are trash.
2. Add a champion milestone. Make it high if you must.
That is it. Minimal programming/redesign required. I doubt this will ever be implemented though.
1. PHCs might be trash to you, but others are still building Rosters. They still have a place for some demographics.
2. The suggestion has come up before, and while it seems like a good idea, it contradicts the nature of the competition in Arenas. It's a Blind Auction. You put up Points against the Points of others in the hopes of winning. That's the competitive aspect of it. Making the Champ a Milestone nerfs the Arena altogether.
There are ideas, but it's more than a 5-minute discussion.
2. That would destroy their FGMC and Cav Crystal sales. Will never happen.
When we have any information to share about any potential arena changes we'll be sure to make an announcement.
