If you really really want to bring changes into the arena

1) Make the competitors able to see each opponent's kit as entry set.
2) Display the winning kit and stats for every tournament.
3) Prevent the entry into level X tournaments by players who have won that specific level tournament Y number of times. "I'm sorry, you can't enter that level 200 tourney as you have won a level 200 tourney 25 times. You can, however, enter a level 201 tourney, which you have never attempted."
4) lower the medal requirements to be in parallel with other FS options. High count winners will obtain their crystal faster and move on and set other personal goals.

Bring on the Love!

I don't think Yzerhotten is off topic.
It seems people who reply to this post are trying to help improve the arena. We are giving our thoughts and ideas just as your topic has started. The topic was started on one single aspect of the arena and many of us are giving other great idea's for HCS to consider.

All in all we're all here to help the arena become more fun for everyone. Yes new or different arena prizes would be great but there's more that needs to be done.

I myself have posted quite a few ideas in the "Right Section" named "Improving the arena"

So NO this topic is for one thing only! Prizes, HCS have a section for the other stuff... I just could not add a poll to it so we can see how many people is unhappy with the prizes thats all ;)

hmmm... too bad you're not thinking about the overall picture.
Updating new arena items isn't a solution, it will only cause more problems. Think of it as a band aid covering a bullet wound

What would be the point in letting all your arena set ups be seen?..I mean the people got their set ups the good old way. They got them by looking up stat's and exparimenting. Terrible idea. This would just kill the arena a little more!

New/better items would pique the interest of people in the arena. Temporarily.

However, very few people have the patience to learn the arena system. Its something quite different than the mechanics of the game.

Rather than complaining about various aspects of the arena, why not try helping out others? Post your strategies, setups, moves, stories, etc, to get others interested in what you are so passionate about. Generating interest will mean more gold gets sunk, which will lead HCS to spend more time making it worthwhile.

I think that items should be taken out of the arena. (not including xind essence, and dwarven stuff) I mean just slapping new gear in will only kill the AH. I mean look what it has done to the Steep Nojor Shield!.. Just keep the arena's with Gold, Combat Moves, Epic Requirment items, and bring back the chance to win fsp. :-D

That really wasn't my problem. I knew how to win but i couldn't afford to buy the gear to do it. I mean i have about 3 good set ups in my arena arsonal. Do i want to share them no. :-/ :)

Then don't share your setups. You can share other things, amusing stories, rivalries, close calls, favorite moves, hell even a decent explanation of the moves and why they work in certain situations would help. Anything to generate interest.

I like MrWright's optimistic view about posting strategies, setups, moves, stories, etc. This would help newer PvP Arena players understand a little more about how it works, allow bragging rights, keep HCS better informed with the arena, etc.

I also like rhann123 idea where we keep arena wins with just gold, fsp, combat moves and epic requirement items (and maybe free combat arena's for practice that have no prizes or impact on PvP wins). As is stands the usual winners gain a strangle hold on the rare AH items. If we did epic requirement items at least those would fill so fast that anyone could win and not the same people all the time.
