    I choose door number 3... Remove arena altogether.

    Why? More importantly what would you replace it with? I understand not liking certain content, I in fact avoid quite a bit of other content but at the same time, I don't campaign to get rid of something just because I get nothing from it, I just don't do it and leave it for other people.
    Maybe should have included the /s so it was easier to interpret my sarcasm lol.
    It would not have hurt. But seriously it's crazy how some people want to get rid of stuff they don't like and they don't really even have a reasonable replacement in mind

    They may as well just send everyone the rewards on a weekly basis if going to do that, plus does a 6 month old account get the same feature as a 6 year old account?

    So.....auto fight...sounds like bot, just without the guarentee of a win...nah. Arenas are supposed to be a grind. If you're not fighting in arenas yourself, then what are you playing in the game!

    Most games have this feature though?
    Do most games allow you to earn a couple hundred dollars worth of in-game currency a month doing it?

    So there's no confusion, the trials has 270 units in it and the other two have 135 units each, for a total of 540 units per cycle. There's two cycles per week which is 1080 units every seven days, or about 154 units per day. In an average thirty day month that's about 4620 units per month just from milestones. Factoring in the units from battlechips from all milestones plus the actual battlechips from grinding, and adding more auto-grinding on the Sunday arenas, it would not be hard to get to about 6000 units per month.

    I voted no, but only because I’ve seen the quality of the auto AI for story content. That thing isn’t winning any arena fights.

    Go play cookie clicker if you think this is a good idea.

    Every game has a grind/farm spots. In mcoc it's arenas, that's why it's called arena grinding.

    Voted no before I fully considered. Perhaps the best way to combat arena bots is to allow everyone to have arena bots.

    Auto arena would be unfair, many people could just leave their phone on all day and it wouldn't be competitive anymore

    It would be useful on weekends when I'm seeing 3 mojo's fight 2 groots, ethanol debuffs are no joke.

    This would prob increase the amount of points new champs would go for

    How? I’m confused if arena added auto fight it would make points required stay the same for the placement rewards and percentage drop severly because instead of 10000(arbitrary number) 50000 people would do it because you just turn it on and do other things.

    Make it fair for those that do grind, and those that don’t. Let’s say we have auto foghts going on until you reach a milestone, and you can only do that for like the first 3, otherwise that would be broken to get like 50mil in the higher arenas. It’s neat for those that don’t grind arena, and doesn’t affect those grinding for a champ.

    I disagree, I don’t think everything should be automated because it should be unequal. It should be if you grind you get more. Stop giving participation awards to people who don’t.

    You can already Auto fight in a lot of other content why would you want to Auto fight this one? And then what's next, Alliance Quest and Alliance War on autopilot?

    Now I understand the argument for simplifying gameplay, I even understand the argument for more quality of life improvements but at some point, you're just not really playing the game anymore if everything's on autopilot while you're just sitting around watching TV while your phone earns free stuff.

    If that's all you want, you could just be playing a different game that already follows that kind of play style.

    This was a bit silly.. come on lol. Things that only directly effect you should be automated (and a choice)... things that affect the community (IE war and aq) should never be automated in any way.

    No, this entire thread is what's silly. This would fundamentally change everything about arena and your big picture view is by proxy askew.

    I've played games where they'd have gauntlets that you could run entirely on auto and honestly while I did enjoy the Free rewards (because it really was no matter how you try to dress it up, it was free) eventually I got bored because it wasn't a priority in my day anymore and then I just quit.

    Not to mention you would want to Nerf milestone rewards to ensure fairness? Dude read the forums, that's the last thing anyone would want.

    Also you know end gamers and grinders can clear most, if not all the milestones in less time than your proposal so they'd still have the advantage over others.

    It just doesn't work.

    No... once again.. this would only be for milestones. Those chasing champs wouldn't be affected by this negatively at all.. For example, no one stopping at 12 million in the 6* arena is getting top 10% let alone top 800 for a champ. With auto arena, the people chasing champs would actually see a larger pot of top 10% (IE if more people are hitting rank rewards the larger the 10% pool would be)

    As for those saying this would be unfair because of the unit and BC benefit... I'm more than sure kabam could nerf the BC / gold payout for auto fights and make points far less than fighting manually.. IE you'd have to run auto arena for 12-24 hours per arena to complete it's milestones (which would benefit kabam far more than loss of hypothetical unit buys I think). I personally see the larger engagement of players far more lucrative for kabam than hypothetical unit purchases.
    Second paragraph. Your own words stating how they could Nerf payouts for auto fights essentially ruining any motivation for people who would want to do this.

    Also I said the thread was silly because it is and all I said about you was that your big-picture perspective was off the mark and that this was not a viable solution.
