Whoever is in charge of the arenas....

First off, thank you for listening to everyone and bringing back the milestones. Yes, I even think a top milestone of 1.5m points is fair. They're not perfect, but they're back.
And seriously, whoever sat down and reworked the rank rewards needs to be FIRED. The top 2% in everything now is half OR LESS of the top 30. Who could have thought this a good idea? For example...
Crystal bounty prior to this week,
Top 10 (×3 = top 30) got 1,000 4* shards and the top 2% got 900. So 98% of the work got you 90% of the reward. Fair enough, but now....
The top 30 get 1,500 shards (boy does that look good in the announcements!) and the top 2% get...750?!? So now doing 98% of the work gets you HALF of the reward.
But it gets better...
The new shiny gold arena is here! (BTW, as one of the main complainers about the lack of gold, thank you!)
Wow! Look at that announcement! A quarter of a million gold! Oh wait...
The top 30 get 250k (out of my reach, but sweet!) and the top 2% get....100k? Umm... 98% of the work for 40% of the rewards? Are you kidding me? Not to mention the top 5%... A 33% payout for 95% of the work.... Thank god you people aren't in charge of payroll at my job...

Top 30 also get 3 full 3* crystal = 300 4* shards from milestone and rank rewards. So they actually get 1800 shards.
Top 2% get 2 full 3* crystal. So total is actually 950 shards.
Milestones and rank rewards are apples and oranges.... And those 4* shards are a side effect of the 6.0 update, not something that they intentionally added as an arena reward.
As for the 3* and pbc shards in rank rewards, I don't remember offhand what they were so I can't compare them.
Sadly it's not worth it. I was willing to use energon when I couldn't afford to commit the 4+ HOURS of fighting that the top 2% required. The gold arena is actually the first that I've bothered to even score a million points this week. The rewards if you place 31 aren't worth the time OR the cash that need invested.
I believed they did design the milestone and rank rewards as intended alongside 6.0 update.
Otherwise, we would get 4* shards in milestones like old time, not 3* shards only.
not saying its wrong, we just have to be aware of this.
I tend to spend a lot more money when I'm having fun.
Considering that their costs are all fixed (servers, payroll, etc) and not based on what I buy (like Amazon or Walmart), I would think it would be more profitable to have a game with 1,000 people spending $50 month rather than 50 people spending $200.
That’s how they get you to settle. Like gas prices. They raise them super high so when they lower it to something that’s still double what it was, people are saying, “Wow, gas is cheap!”
No! 50 ppl require less servers!
*facepalm* Of course! How could I have been so blind?!
Edit:
Whoa, they're mad at me! Something was done so this thread no longer moves to the top when someone posts. Guess that's how they bury trouble makers...
when forum rules are not enough to bury complains
