    Any follow up on why something that would be a logical enhancement on arenas for all us locked behind a paywall? It’s not like advertising is being bypassed

    I know that the player base is sometimes critiqued as being entitled or spoiled whenever complaints begin to come out for new content and featers (espeically when they are paid content or features). At the end of the day arena will still be arena even without the express, but considering the arena is the place that F2P players are "sent" to to gain units since they are F2P, I can certainly understand the sting which comes from this particular area of the game having anything attatched to it which is connected to spending...even if the spending is a part of a larger bonus and not an isolated purchase.

    I really do feel this QOL improvement should have been something ALL players could have turned on and off in the main menu (similar to sp3 animations) NOT something that's locked behind sigil. This creates yet another unfair advantage and arena was one of the main places ftp players could keep up woth others. I strongly feel this has been handled poorly and should be changed.

    To be frank, top ranked rewards, no f2p was competing. With the scores put up, it is arena bots or mercs only.
    What about brian grant? He's a f2p and if he actually wanted to grind for a champion in arena i'm sure he would succeed, he has done in the past

    Recharges in arena in order to get a champion is actually normal, the community was always aware that it would cost plenty of units to get there but it's part of the game...people don't need to be p2w to get a feature champion
    Btw i'm not saying that's something worth spending, everyone has it's own opinion about it and i know i wouldn't spend that much to just one champion but still, it's doable

    that is a thing of the past. That isnt possible for normal humans in the last year with the scores that we see.

    people don't need to be p2w to get a feature champion
    No, they can get lucky in a crystal or something. But to get them in the arena, 99% of the cases is P2W yes.

    Back when the sigil launched, it came with a significant increase to storage. Eventually the storage limit was increased for everyone. Keep that in mind.

    This arena change is definitely nice and absolutely everyone would benefit from it, but like everything else that revolves around spending, you're paying to get ahead faster than those that don't spend. It's not a game-changing feature. Give it time, perhaps it will change, and even if it doesn't, you will still earn your units the same way you've earned them for the past 8 years.

    So now if we want to have the convenience of making arena go faster, we HAVE to have the sigil? Pretty ridiculous. I'm honestly suprised they don't throw in ADs that you are forced to watch unless you buy the sigil to skip them. I mean might as well if your trying this hard to get people to spend on the game. Desperate times for kabam I guess...

    Of course they want people to spend, they're a business. Also, I don't think their revenue will skyrocket 10usd at a time.

    Again, our community has the uncanny ability to turn every announcement into a sh1tshow...

    We already have those in the form of additional screens that shouldn't be there to begin with

    One extra tap on the screen = ads. Absolutely!

    And an add is just one extra tap to close as well. Just a waste of time

    Wrong.

    Grinding for a champ is extremely expensive. No F2P player can do it.

    I can understand wanting to make money, but the feature does not seem worthy enough to lock behind 10$ a month. If they really want money, add more cosmetic **** that people go crazy over, rather than useless emotes nobody wants.

    It would be nice to have for all players. But there is zero chance this gets me to spending for an outdated (by like a year at minimum) sigil.

    Small QOL change. Its so small that it shouldnt locked behind a paywall
