Like a comatose patient thats been on ventilator for months. Someone pulls the plug and miracle o miracle the patient breathes on his own.
Too bad the relatives ( = the players) were not told anything , nor was continued life support or more curative measures discussed.
here is praying for a thought-through rotation , taking into account the low chances to invent last batches of sets.
please talk to arena players, I am 99% sure a common ground on how "we" would like to rotate stuff can be achieved.
AND PLEASE NO MORE NEW SETS FROM ARENA UNTIL ROTATION IS FIXED AND THE ARENA IS ALIVE AGAIN.

+1
In fact,even after the fixes are made....we don't need any new gear as such....though a brand new batch of potions (both bound as well as some unbound) would be great,as has been suggested numerous times before

I think everyone who takes part in the arena can agree that it would be completely dead if the price decay on components had not been implemented. But decreasing the cost of entry for increasingly worthless components is not going to reinvigorate interest in this aspect of the game.
AND, reintroducing extr, inv, sw & FI250 pots, as well as older crystal gear that still, in general, seems to have very little value in the AH (chronos was only rotated out quite recently...Oct/Nov...I'm not sure) will do very little to encourage new players to start nor to maintain the interest of the existing players.
The "cost of entry" versus "potential benefit" ratio really needs to be thought about. I'm not advocating that prizes need to be uber-powerful (as gear usually stays in the arena for too long, the market saturates, the price plummets and the players who bought the gear think twice before buying a newly released set) but most players do not seem interested in acquiring what is currently on offer.

Hopefully the crystalline gear won't be there for long (except maybe chronos). Hopefully the chumanas components are still there as these were selling for a good price making these arenas worthwhile entering.

Probably need to lower the entry fee on phellans gear, the cost vs usefulness doesn't stack up even if it is only an 8 player arena.. also the entry cost for all players combined for a chronos piece is about 22fsp, in a few weeks they'll be selling for about 12fsp probably.

If you're there Forn, Hoof, BG we would love some clarification on what's happened/happening?

Suggestions :
1. have 2 separate arenas , one for moves , one for the rest
2. stop spawning crap potions. Period.
3. Have recipes for old stuff spawning at very low rate.
4. Have recipes for new stuff ( nothing at the moment that is new) spawning at high rate first week, then very low rate.
5. Have all crysts spawning at low rate, except Volkers and Takeos which can spawn medium rate
6. Have all components spawning with higher rate for freshly introduced sets and sets that have high chance to blow up. Follow the patterns of how fast peeps join and how many sets and components there are in the game .
Would be 1-2 hours work tops to create an algorithm that would be solid enough for most arena players to be happy.

also can you tell us if you will EVER get round to changing the mechanics of the arena.
1 more thing for the love of god and FS please gives us more moves matches to take out the stupid luck factor it gets annoying after a while watching HCS puppets win over n over with the luck (HCS CODING) helping them out thanks and i hope you had a great holiday.

Apparently this change was not thought about again and really looks like a "push the button to load old setup" action. Which then makes me wonder again why this would not be possible every couple of weeks which would keep some variation in!
...and I still don't get the idea why one batch has the recipes for items but not the components and then half a year later a batch comes with the components but not the recipes :?

totally illogic change.

1) I agree, but also Increase the amount of tournies that have the prize of a combat move and reduce their cost heavily. The more people with all their moves means increase an in players playing the arena: a good thing.
2) Yes this too; unless you use these crap potions and similar prizes for "excluding" medalled or maybe just crystal medalled players out of these tournaments to encourage participation from those less experienced.
3) Yes or put all recipes in a shop.
4) Yes or put all recipes in a shop.
5) Yes; but for ALL crystal, unless they stop UB 190 distilling to UB200 and causing no decay on spine (wasn't the whole idea of introducing UB 190 and removing UB 200 to introduce wear on crystal? hehe)
6) Yes
Look at that I agree 100% (well almost Cel
and saku yes, i dont think I am registered in one tournament at the moment. Been online for over 2 hours

They conveniently avoid all arena threads even though they've time to make thoughtful posts like this in the EOC content thread,a couple of minutes back :
Tis enchanted yellow snow...wooo...sparkle...yellow magic!
