Its one thing to ask some super powerful player to make his/her form easier to deal with, but to have the whole server power down is welfare. And to me your not really helping the smaller players. And you want to help them but you want to be more powerful then them at the same time. Makes little sense to me. But to each their own. Im just expressing my opinion. Not trying to say you are all worng, but do 100% disagree with the concept of powering all or most of the server statues in HP. I mean if its PBR's server and he chooses to not put subs in or something cuz lets face it, noone can beat him, thats one thing. I just prefer haviing challenges in the game.
You may think that but others don't. Whatever you do on server 1 is fine-that's what you guys do. The other servers find it an excellent way to upkeep morale and activity. I'm just sorry you don't see it that way.

I can see how that could be annoying if you get 1 of those rare stakes and your surrounded by either asshats or people who dislike you. But they are rare. leader cards and 1k stakes show up about 1 maybe 2 a month on a server. 100 gems maybe 10-20 times a month on a server. The other stakes are small pickings. SO you miss out of a mushroom during banish, you will get more. Even with sharing chests and getting 100% of my chests not taken form me in old arena I have manage to get the mats for 1 sirius spirit and half for another and 1/3 the mats for a sirius sword. Boo has crafted 3 but more people share iwth him and he makes it a point to share other people's chest more then I do. Most on server 1 have maybe 1 spirit crafted if they are lucky or are still collecting the chests for their 1st. I dont really think the chests in arena were suppose to provide you with so many mats you could craft items that would be other wise uncraftable. They were just intended to make it easier. The coins exp and credits, especially for a player of your size and caliber are no that much that if you only get half all day long its gonna make much if any difference to you. I think many are making mountains out of molehills.
Why should I help every everyone craft their Sirius spirit. It is micro managing because I'm having to check at least 30mins to see what I got coming up. I do not have time for this, the Arena is starting to take over the game and it isn't making it 'fun' it's a nuisance. I have lost decent items like medals to this system, I'm not rich and I can't afford to coin all the time. Small stakes I couldn't care less about.

If you are big enough this doesn't effect you hardly at all. Which is why all the large players are enjoying it so much. For the middle ranked, it's tiresome and annoying. I can't change with anyone not in the top 10 in the Realm because no one wants to go up in to the UA and I wouldn't put them through this torment anyway. I have never said do away with it completely just have it as an optional event. Everyone would be happy then.
