For the Championship Warfare, I hope that a few things happen:
1. All who are competing get interesting rewards that make it worth competing for. More like WB events, less like Ragnarok.
2. The Bets!!!! I think this sounds really interesting! I hope this system works really well, and again, proves to offer worthwhile rewards because it sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
3. That it will occur at a time that will be convenient for people with jobs.

Hero Improvements:
— I'd love to see a hero skill tree that builds upon the existing abilities of heroes. I know that saintings do this to an extent, but they're random. I could see Saffron with a skill path that allows options to make her shield other players, deflect a % of damage back to attackers, or block AoE attacks made from her row. Or BloodStorm gaining a chance to mimic Alexa's double hit, convert damage to hit points, or either an attack that has a chance to do a smaller amount of damage the hero immediately behind and beside the target. This would mean that it would be a much more interesting battle outcome, and people would make hard choices about which tree to follow.

Thanks so much for the update, I'm looking forward to seeing these things through!
