Thats what i was saying a few posts before
I fail to see how this benefits anyone but the arena pro players
The whole point is people have been asking for arena updates. Constantly. No one said hunting needs to be made easier or any of that (Thank god) so why would more gear be found elsewhere? Much the same way classic LE events only benefit those who have the space to sit on the items long term, or Cave LEs only benefit those who can afford it, the Cows are trying to make one group happy, and in this case its the arena players. Lets face it, the arena was just depressing before this, definably was the slowest its been since they divided the pages up.
But did they do a good job? Too early to tell, but I would speculate that if the community wont pay the sought after prices, the prices will come down. They always do, arena prizes almost always end up selling for cheaper then their entry fees (Mainly excepting the inventables that came out most recently)Classic supply vs demand, and there will be no demand if the price is too high, as the supply only increases

Think about it.
More people will also try to get in there in win (really, its not hard, especially with as many guilds that have so much tagged gear for everyone) which will mean faster arenas and more gold being sunk. More gold being sunk is good for anyone who likes to buy cheap FSPs after their hunt because they are scarred of the dreaded find player search of today
And I dont think the "pros" are winning as much of this new stuff as you would think

Look at the FSbox, and look through the new stuff in the AH, many of the winners are not on the top 250 or even top 100, which lately has been a good portion of the active arena community.
I will say, they arnt even close to have given us what we wanted. Look through the "Current arena wishlist" thread, and there was tons of good ideas about changing the arena overall to make it more fun for all and attract more people, but the Cows likely went for the simplest thing possible.
Im sad they didnt add stamina as a prize

There would never be a slow arena day again.
