FoEhints: New idea for the PvP arena in Forge of Empires

I had introduced the new PvP arena in a video and the critics were raging. Above all, it was denounced that only players from the Mars Age onward have a realistic chance of a good ranking. The pairing of an Iron Age player against a SAAB player is called unfair. I think this criticism can be understood very well.

Besides that, the rewards were not very popular either. Realistically achievable positions have prizes that offer no real incentive.

I posted an idea in the forum of the beta server to improve this situation, quasi as a summary of the feedback in the comments of my videos, on Facebook, and in personal messages.

The core of the idea is the introduction of leagues. However, a league by age would not be an improvement for many players. For example, new Iron Age players would be crushed by Iron Age battle towns of experienced players without a chance. A solution that is fairer to all is therefore needed.

That's why I have suggested that leagues should be set up by playing time. This way all players with up to 30 days login should play against each other in a league. Whoever has more than 30 days of playing time at the beginning of a tournament week will be moved up to the next higher league, the league for players with up to 60 login days, taking with them all the ranking points a player has earned so far. Further leagues for players with up to 90 days, 180 days, 360 days, 720 days, and above complete the concept. In this way, new players in particular also have the opportunity to receive good rewards. In addition, there will be an incentive to move up through the ages in order to use better units in the tournament. However, faster progress will be at the expense of the rapid expansion of the Great Buildings. Here it is up to the player to find the right balance between these two.

As a result, the leagues would provide a more motivating game experience for far more players and at the same time better rewards through more leagues and therefore better rankings in the leagues.

I would be happy to receive comments on this video not only as a comment under this video but also in the forum of the beta server. After all, it is your idea from the comments summarized. Those who would like to see this idea realized, please write this in the beta forum because only with recognizable resonance such ideas have a chance to be realized. If you don't like this idea so much, you should write this in the forum, too. This is the only way InnoGames can get an idea of the players' mood. I would be very happy if this would lead to a lively discussion in the beta forum.
