Default Arena losing

I have no interest in accumulating rating or tokens. I have the tempers I want. Quite frankly, all I am interested in is the arena bonus. I would like to know if it is okay to deliberately lose in arena?

By lose, I mean don some gear with neg def stats, maybe delevel some skills?

I know this does not really embrace the 'spirit' of the arena, but I am curious if it would actually do any harm to the system. I would like to get my bonus while still providing meat for the grinder. I don't want to break any rules though. Could I get some clarification on what is legal or not in this specific arena please.

as this isnt a team based arena it only hurts you, while providing everybody else with free tokens and slight bit of rating, even giving lower lvls a better chance at managing a win. i dont see how it would hurt

Purposefully throwing matches is very much against the rules and people have been banned for it. In your scenario, if you did actually lose every single match it would not end up technically hurting anyone, but allowing people to purposefully lose matches opens the door to abuse by taking it a step further and actually beating people who you dislike if you recognize them, thus skewing the results of the arena.
