Are we ever getting old Arenas back?

@Kabam Miike, I remember about in that "huge Update" announced when you decided to swap the old Bot Arenas into Bounty Arenas, and it actually worked well, because the game is still in development when it comes to "growth" compared to MCOC. But let's just stop and think: can't we have both? I know it's too early to have multiple Arenas, like in MCOC, but maybe in a future update that would be good for some players. One of the things I more miss in those are Milestone Rewards. Going to Ranks is too hard for players who don't constantly play Arenas.

See the main problem is the noobs haven’t got anything worth playing for. Most likely chance if you’re a mid tier player you will only score a few 3* shards if any at all (crystal bounty). Is it really worth wasting hours of your valuable life just to get a few 3* shards which will probably just turn in to forge fodder anyways? Poor noobs
It would be illogical (no I’m not shockwave, but I wish I was) and most certainly insolent to ignore our plea for milestones. We have made countless threads, some with replies most without. For those with replies we have gotten the ‘generic kabam response’ which pretty much means yeah we’re not going to do anything, enjoy crappy rank rewards.
Kabaam, it’s time for action. #bringbackmilestones
They don’t see arena
It weeds out the weak minded people. The ones who don't want to endlessly battle without respectable rewards. Oh wait, or was that the AS crystal?
Anyways, I am curious if Kabam has stats on if there is more participation now or before when we had milestones on all arenas.
At the moment we don't have plans to drop, but we are always taking feedback on this. We're always looking to try and better different aspects of the game so I'll make sure this is all shared with the rest of the team. If you have any other constructive feedback on arenas just let us know and it'll be shared as well.
Arena is where you can play each and every bot regardless of their current mission. It exists in many games alike. Game companies gather comprehensive data about overall bot performance and make decision which bots need nerfing and which bots need ninja nerfing, etc.
Interesting. Game balance is important.
Yet perhaps of the work I do, I suspect they're using it more to keep very regular (and to a certain extent, top) players occupied. To give players an outlet to feel like...if they work hard, they'll get better. I mean AM comes around every 3 days, what does an addicted gamer do with all that excessive time on our hands? How about giving them a somewhat bottomless pit with a separate cooldown i.e an arena.
Problem is getting more players to jump into arena and milestones help give that little push new players need to invest time in playing it.
How you go about getting more people to play without milestones is the million dollar question. I know it's a fine line that needs to be walked between giving incentives and giving to much away. I don't have an answer but something needs to change.
Thanks, @Kabam Vydious, I just hope we get a better way for low-ranked players to get rewards (even though low rewards) in Arenas. Milestones are just easier way because we can get the rewards right away instead of waiting few more hours to be ranked. Besides, this way we don't have to be worried with ranking over other players, because Milestones are individual.
Kabam:"Hey guys, what would make YOU happy?"
The players: "MILESTONES!!"
Kabam: "No, not that, but what would make YOU happy??"
Players: "Umm, Milestones!!"
Kabam: "No, not that, but what would make you HAPPY?!?"
See my point?

In addition, I think bringing 3* arena back for newbies would go a long way in helping them develop their accounts. The key is that there needs to be a way to exclude veteran players from also joining those arenas and hogging the rewards.
Perhaps setting it up so that any account with 3 4* bots is denied access to the rookie arena.
I'd like to see a mod answer as to why we've begged and pleaded to have some put back and are ignored
The recent shark arenas seemed like a perfect compromise. The milestones weren't amazing but the instant crystals and some energon was nice. Have the milestones be the same as those. If you don't want to flood arena crystals into the game and keep them as rank rewards then make each milestone 1 gold crystal and 5 energon
Yep most people don’t care about arenas because they cannot get decent rewards so they just don’t do it, if we got milestones the noobs would have something to fight for but we ain’t getting milestones back so I ain’t gonna bother anymore
It has been said over and over again, and looking at all threads amd posts about the arenas they all have ONE thing in common : BRING BACK THE MILESTONES!
How much more feedback is needed on this topic? Its all right here.
I dunno. They said they took it out to make it less confusing to newer players. But I think it just makes it more confusing for them. They play arenas, but don't know for what rewards. If I had just started out now, I wouldn't know what I would need to do to get decent rewards and probably just end up giving up doing them.
I think we need to start calling it by a different name. Maybe then they'll consider it.
It was actually ~3k (I fell right on an edge so it's a pretty accurate calculation) for the Americas. However that count is still damning. The only arenas that see decent activity are the feature bot and shark. They also have milestones. Hmmm.....

Can we get some feedback other than "it doesn't matter if you like it, we're still not going to do it?
There are SO many threads about players being unhappy with rewards, milestones, spark availability, gold availability,etc....WHATS BEING DONE to make the people who pay the bills happy?
You've already started seeing people leave. I like this game, but everyday the fact that we're being ignored is chipping away at my playtime. Space Ape has figured this out and players have started heading back over there. I've recently taken my shelved profile and made it active again.
We aren't ignoring anything. We're taking everyone's feedback very seriously. Though we may not have an immediate response or one you favor, we do care and we are listening.
