    You could have just condensed the title by removing "the" and 'of legends ".

    I despise arena. But this is cake. You can knock this out in 6 hours spread over 7 days. I'll be done in 4 days with 1.5 hours casually spread out over the day.

    I grinded my life away for 4* Iceman back in the day and missed him by 10k (what was that about 7m?). Still bitter about it and that was waaaaaay more time consuming and didn't even get the prize.

    For any arena grinder, this is nothing and you get a guaranteed 6*... Might be meh, but might be amazing too. That's the gamble on this one - the time in arena is way less than a basic 6* arena though.

    It's even more boring because of how passive the AI is. I have been playing Act 7 these last few days and the AI transition is crazy.

    Do u luv cake? since you are using that word everywhere
    Yeah, it's amazing. Fluffy, light and rewarding, like this arena.

    I don't need the shards 6 this way

    Yeah it's not fun (arena was never fun anyway but this is a double kill). Besides of normal arena now you have to grind for another arena and I gave up after the first milestone.

    Kabam might thinks the rewards they give us is too much... but in reality it's not. Nobody who has earned paragon title needs 10k 6* shards guys, it's meaningless these days. I would like to get those units but it's not worth the effort.

    Yes, I agree with you my friend, it is not worth all the effort

    i have not even done 50 rounds and you need to do 219 to get all of the rewards

    Think of what people are saying about ~240 rounds in 7 days. (everyone has different numbers depending on masteries, boosts, etc., that's my estimate).

    To make 250M+ to get a featured 6 star (which the line is often now much higher then that), you need about 1000 rounds in 3 days. Yes... more than 4 times as many rounds in 1/3 of the days... and you can't even rely on short refresh timers and grinding for 3-4 hours straight to power through while "watching" a football game or something.

    Last year I passed on this. This year, I'll be "visiting family" (aka watching TV all weekend as that's what they like to do)... so while the gameshow network is on in the background, I guess I'll be doing this (as it isn't like there is any other content in the game to work on at the moment).

    the difference is people know what are they getting for their grind in featured arena

    The know the carrot... but they don't know if someone is going to yank it away from them because bots/other grinders push the scores too high.

    At least we know its 4m. Not 4.1m, not 4,000,001... 4m, and done.

    I took a big step away from the game a month ago. Left my alliance of 2 years. Stopped putting up points in EoP. Stopped doing Cav EQ. Best choice I ever made involving Mcoc.

    All this to say, now I see how almost nothing in this game is worth the time investment required. Sure some of its fun. But most of it is just designed to be a punishing grind.

    Case in point, this arena.

    Iirc, last year’s one allowed 3*s, which made it a much less painful grind since you could 3x boost them and get it done fast.

    Arena is always a boring, tedious, time consuming "grind". If no one ever speaks up about that (in fact, it's usually the opposite response given by the forum community hen someone does: i.e. "Don't be lazy. You have to grind if you want the gold and units and don't complain if you're low on those items and not willing to do it."), why would Kabam consider this any different? We've allowed this to become the norm for arena "grinding".

    6 hours of "grinding" on this one will get you all of the milestones in this arena. Or just do whatever you can or are comfortable with and stop when you need to or want to (or don't do it - it's not required, it's an extra event) How many times do people get upset when they can't complete CAV difficulty, or get the top rewards in a side event when the difficulty is kicked up a notch and they struggle against it? This is not for everyone based on the effort, but it is available for everyone who does it.

    Again, I don't like arena one single bit. But how is this different than any other arena "grind" for the top rewards - other than this is a legendary appreciation arena by name? I'm all for making it shorter, less points between milestones, better ways to get point modifiers and/or more points. But in the grand scheme of things, a 6 hour arena grind spread out over 7 days that nets a guaranteed 6* (some will be bangers and some will be duds) is still, IMHO, better than an all weekend grind for just a chance at a 6* that you're not guaranteed to get and will take waaaay more time to complete.

    Personally I'd always rather have pie than cake. Cake is overrated.

    The rewards aren’t top though, not anymore. They’re good way new and less developed accounts but for longstanding TB or Paragon you’ll likely have a roster good enough that 1 addition 6* won’t matter. Then it’s a judgement call of whether spending 6 hours+ of your life doing a mind numbing task is worth a random 6* where you’ll likely pull a Groot or Psychoman. For my account, I don’t think it’s worth the time or effort, but there’s plenty of people who are happy to spend there time doing this.

    What are the rewards for the 6* basic arena - in comparison? And to get the 6* basic arena top rewards, how long does that take - in comparison? That's my point. I agree, each person has to decide if the time is worth the reward. For me, I'll gladly take 6 hours of arena grinding split over 7 days for a guaranteed 6* than an entire weekend of nonstop grinding for a chance at a 6* I might not even get, or would cost tons of unit refreshes to give the best shot at obtaining. This is unit-less, less time overall and a guaranteed 6*. For me, makes way more sense than the basic 6* arena that people grind for over and over.

    Also you can't blindly say people are only going to get a Groot or Psychoman. That's RNG and there on every crystal. Yes, some will get terrible champs, but if you pull a Nimrod or a Doom - whoever you think is good, it's well worth it. The point is, it's another 6* opportunity and a fraction of the time you would have to grind in the 6* basic pool with many more days to do it.
