I had an interesting experience, got a gem stake and then big players knocked themselves down to come and grab it. Yes, I even did as many suggested, stayed low. Seems there isn't any point in that either, after all I then had no chance of reclaiming it.

Now I don't know about you but I always considered the Arena a place where you have a group and you stay within in it. However, it's obvious it's about the stakes (or at least the better ones) and I'm sorry to say if that's the case then the whole line about it being better rewards and a better challenge is all fluff and bluster. The UA is a breeding ground for bullies which is a shame.
I guess we are spoiled in server 7, We actually cooperate with each other in the arena. If we have Gem stales we try to find some one on line to share them with. If some one shares gems with us we always let them take them back. After all, we loose nothing if we let them.
