Default Farming and Arena

Hi, long time reader first time poster. I've been concerned about the effect of arena times on farming. It's fine when it takes a few minutes between matches but if you're fighting blacks that can take a while and you might get rt back but farming can take forever, somewhat diluting the effect of the trophy bonus. How about an increased trophy bonus when the average time between fights is a number I would let you guys figure out. Or set a minimum time between fights when arena population reaches a certain level. Just a suggestion.

Or you could try giving all haste auras to arena players for pve combat between arena matches whent the time between matches falls below a certain number.

True enough. But is this a deliberate attempt to discourage players from fighting high level mobs or an unintended consequence of the arena system?

the bonus was originally intended to make up for interuptions during farming...there already is a minimum time limit its 3 minutes if u cant kill at least 2 mobs in that time frame you need to kill easier monsters to farm

We believe these are working as intended.

Thanks, wasn't aware of a minimum time limit. It sure seems like it's shorter than that at times. My times aren't that bad.
