The Upcoming Arena Event - Phoenix Freeshard

I really like how you thought about structuring the arena, the only thing I don't like and really don't understand is why you don't earn realm points. What's the point of not giving realm points for kills in a pvp event? It's like not giving experience in a pve event. If you think you can earn too much RP reduce the time you can join or the fighting you can take part in. But not paying for the wins really kills the fun

Well they said there is a reward at end maybe it will be RPS ?

They just said kills ans rez dont give RPS to avoid logical abuses.

For me the inter-realm could lead to some class exclusion from event.

Here the rule:

Arena participation counts towards participating in the general participation task. Kill / Rez RP and BP is 0 in the Arena, you still get normal gold for the kills.

You can prevent resurrections in the arena to prevent abuses.
Let's clarify a concept, even if the total sum of RP will be equal for me it's crazy not to pay the kills with RP. At least for my ears it sounds like a complete waste of time and I assure you that my friends and I have been waiting for weeks this event .. Even a few points would be enough, but 0 as I said kills the fun .. Better to turn like an idiot at mercy of the Zerg at least you risk making some RP and you take participation anyway... I would much prefer no participation, but at least a little reward for each kill.
Also since there is too much gold, I would prefer to pay a registration fee to be able to participate in the arena than earn 10g for each kill lol

To me it sounds like ppl play for the rps and not the fun. Nothing new.

What I never understood about soloers is that it seems like people would solo because they want a challenge, and this kind of thinking to me would mean you want to be on fairly equal footing otherwise it is more similar to ganking.

I mean if you have 2 people of approx. skill, and 1 is RR11 and 1 is RR2, we know who is going to win a vast majority of the time.

I would think a soloer would maybe want a zone with various buildings or whatnot, and have everyone either lose all RR ranks or just become the same RR rank, just to keep things balanced.

rr certainly matters, but up to a certain point it becomes much more about decision making, and a bit of luck. you can be rr13 as a sin, but if you arent playing correctly, a r6 can take you out. tani has a video of him on a r3 or 4 inf killing ppl that are high rr. dandere would wreck me all the time on his fucking pierce inf at like r4 when i was r8 or 9. idk how, but it would happen. (eu ping is nice for getting pa on na sins though)

You don't get better by just fighting weaker or equal players, as low RR (fairly new to the server) I have no problem fighting and losing to better players. Chewed my way through various high RR people from time to time too.

I played several years DotA at high level (not hightest, but nice level) in DotA u can play the same game in ranked and not ranked match. The only difference is that a win in ranked give you +25 points every loss - 25,in not ranked no points given or stolen doesn't matter win or lose.. I never played non ranked.. Adding a reward always increase the fun, for some ppl this can be stressful but here isn't the case bcs a loss doesn't decrease your RP. For me and a lot of ppl win with no RP = duel = booooooriiiing
