Also, what about FSP instead of gold? So, 1 FSP per 200k gold on what the current rewards are, given as FSP shards, so 1.5k gold entry arena gives 5 FSP shards instead of 10k gold, the 30k entry gives 100 FSP shards instead of 200k gold etc. Basically another gold sink, even if they double the current reward, it would work out better, 200 shards instead of 200k for example. It would also give more incentive for people to play.

Is there a place for the crate update on the road map? Considering it was delayed from last month. It'd be good to know when we should be expecting it.

Edit: 

Some changes I'd like to see to the loot would be to remove some of the gag prizes, or move them to bronze key chests. When you spend so much effort looking for a chest, then you spend 10 million gold on a key for it, and end up with the gag prize, it's quite annoying. It already takes enough effort that there really shouldn't be a gag prize.

Remove Brew of the Buff Thief from Spirit Chests

Remove sundering Brew from Rune Engraved Chests

Remove Draft of the Revenant Hunter from Twisted Chests

Remove Potion of Genius Gatherer from Alchemist Chests

What's most needed is to remove Reborn Leaf Staff from the Steel Chest, its ridiculously outdated. 

I think the 4 potions mentioned should be split between Wooden, Gladiator, Solid Bronze and Studded Chests. Or maybe revamped into something new and worth looting.

Try adding more low-level arenas to the mix. There are many new players that mention it in global chat as well as in my own guild that state there aren't enough arenas for them to join at their low level, unless it is the novice ones that they have maxed. Perhaps also add a tiered level of cost to joining arenas that are proximate your level. That way the high-level players aren't scooping up all the low-level arenas without having to pay the extra cost to do so. Additionally, this would allow low-level characters to join high-level arenas despite the unlikelihood of their winning. It could be made cheaper for them to join, based on the algorithm and get more participation. It's all about tactics after all.

 

As for prizes, I see a lot of good ideas already, but the potions could use some more variety. I would love to see a

BE500 potion available to purchase for tokens for example.  This would not diminish the BE575 that composers make right now, but it would put it within reach for those that focus on this part of the game. I am sure that other examples could be found when looking at that list of potions.

Maybe add in an exchange of PvP tokens for Arena tokens. That way the prizes are separate, but it does add another form of in-game trade that can be controlled by the cows. 

I believe everyone should be able to participate in every arena, as unlikely as it would be for them to implement it, you should be able to equip gear of any level, just for arena. Would be an 'Equip for arena combat' option or something. I remember being level 300 and maybe having 2-7 arenas a week I could participate in, the lower level ones take so long to fill up. 

Remove the guild member 25% rule. Thanks!

 

I think this rule can't be removed, because if rule is removed, there could be guilds farming arena tokens joining 8 members from same guild

 

I am sure FSH Team will make nice Arena update, surprising all players with much more interesting things, epics and potions so arena is worth for all players to play for valuable rewards, not only for tokens nothing to do with them, and arena wins that count only to move up in top arena winners list

They can just change the limit to 50% rather than no limit. I think 25% is too low considering there's guilds with upwards of 100 players in them.

Quite many good ideas already.

 

Would it make sense also to include fragment chests as the rewards?
 

And rewards similar to the DQ rewards for upgrading the character, such as +1 BP slot, +1 AH slot, +1 components slot. I imagine a lot of players would get nuts on those.
It is something that doesn't really add any gold/FSP into the game, but everyone is happy when getting a characted upgrade. Especially the new players who start with only a few BP slots.
 

I love the idea of BP and AH, component etc as a reward, along with my suggestion of current and reserve stamina. 

I don't think frags would be good, it would just devalue the chest rewards, and make it not worth the keys to open, similar to how they've done with SE dropping potions that are found in chests. Plus you have global events for it too
