although i do very much like the idea of arena tokens for placing in the finals etc from my failing experience in there, it always seems to be 2 established players maikng the finals 9 times out of 10 so for me this idea is just another way for the top dogs to earn a bit more extra on the side on the odd occasion they dont win
But personally i think if you want the arena to be more active then i have a wee suggestion
as it stands the novice tab is well pretty much pointless, however the idea behind the tabs can be tweaked to benefit all and give everyone at different skill levels the opportunity to learn arena thoroughly without constantly coming across well established (dominating) players
i think there should be 5 tabs equal to the amount of medals that come with arena wins, the first tab still being novice should be the only tab to contain moves as well as a few small gold tourneys and should have a maximum of 100 wins, allowing you to achieve their bronze medal, then you move onto your 2nd tab allowing you to win 400 times upto your silver medal, 3rd tab 500 kills for your gold medal, 4th tab 1500 kills for your crystal and then the last tab unlimited wins for your ruby medal and more
i also think that if you have a specific medal then you are automatically exempt from lower tier tabs, this way any individual player trying there hand at arena will only face players of similar stature and when they eventually work there way to the last tier everyone should have enough knowledge about arena to give everyone a good run for there money and will hopefully in the long run be more active
