I saw a 392k power player down in the #700 rank range with the day one players, why? because they wanted the 1k gems that the noobs get as a bonus to be able to compete. This, in my opinion, is terrible. Any self-respecting player battles people close to their own power in arena...

SUGGEST: changing the rules so that new players aren't eaten up by players who intentionally sabotage their rank in arena, by removing all their gear/runes/stones.

perhaps setting a limit to high power players not being able to attack anyone below rank #500?
