@kedik22
I have noticed the same name changing of those two players as you, I assumed it was due to them being off line but I do not know…
I see you in my Diamond League and your are 5th.
1. Hal with 1825
2. Anatolii with 1545, Hey kedik22 the name appears on my screen to have two “ii” or two “II” at the end of the name, is yours different? I only see one “L”, if that is a L.
3. Anopen with 543
4. Meester with 480
5. Jan with 469
9th is me with 179
In the last three weeks the arena has been very demotivating, at least to me, to play because once one gets to the Diamond League it is orientated to the negative with very little reward for the positive to its members:
A. We do not get any more feathers but they keep giving them to us. We should be the same amount of gems for our Star number.
B. We cannot not go up or get any real rewards for being on top but we sure can go down when we get demoted for finishing in the bottom 3 positions…talk about being punitive with zero positive reinforcement or reward, this one really “takes the cake” on being only negative
C. The cheats, hacks, etc., appear to still permitted in the arena. This has to be the most demotivating aspect of playing in the Arena in the past, present and future.
D. What chance does an honest player have to at least obtain the only reward of the diamond league offers, the metals, basically none…so why do we still play?
E. Yes we can improve our Star numbers but I do not know if that really does anything. I have defeated others with higher star numbers, so what is really their value? Please explain
F. Oh yea, I forgot the most useless item that anyone could have thought of…The Snow Flake…get that one as your last spell in the Arena or Regular play and you are guaranteed to loose…what use does it provide? Someone must have had a sadistic game play sense of humor to think that one up and let it be the LAST spell, with not blue birds following it. I have received the Snow Flake as my last item on a few occasions and talk about demotivating and negative, I did not loose through my efforts or mistakes, the game took it away from me.
The same thought of being downgraded entered my mind but I am hoping that the programmers will be able to eliminate the hacks and cheats in the future. I do not think I can again obtain the feathers that I already obtained previously. For me it is a matter of faith in the folks who are getting paid to go a good programming job so I keep playing in the Arena if only not to get demoted because I have NO chance of ever getting another metal with the top four in my Diamond League. I hope they are honest players but I cannot see how they can obtain all those stars without spending a few bucks each week or they know something that I do not.
