If you were in top 10 you can get more now then before. Even with a 5 realm server. The guy who takes 5th gets more then he would have if he was #1 in old arena. SO I think they did a decent job of setting up the new rewards. If you got 10th in your old arena you still get more rewards at 50th/30th.
This is true, but what about the guy who is 11th. I am on one of the newer servers with probably over 30 active players in each realm. So 30 guys are doing well, but 120 guys will never manage to progress beyond 11th place, and are destined to a game of fodder for the others who will far outstrip them. This is going to result in less than 30 people per server. They will probably merge servers, but again, those outside the top 30 will wilt away. They need to solve this problem or all servers will slowly die, and only top 30 people will spend in my opinion. but then, what do I know from nothing.
