Thanks to everyone taking the time to read it it's a bit longer than the average forum thread so I appreciate that
The idea is interesting, genuine, and well thought.. However, here's the catch, alot of programming needs to be done: Creating clans with no owners but admins automatically. Transporting the players. Disallow crystal usage. Team strength calculation. Etc etc. Its technically feasible, but Im not sure would want to spend the time and/or resources doing it... Great idea though.
Full support, this sounds like a brilliant idea. The devs should really consider this, despite the mass of programming.
Supporting now for a second time...!¡! Devs we all know you @_@ this. The only question left now is, how long will this take you to get up and running? Hope you don't trip off your clown shoes.
Support however I'm not sure about the full level of EE. Maybe a new similar spell would be in order?
Two very valid points have been brought up that I would like to share my thoughts on for discussion, the use of xstals and the rewards. Enabling xtals ATA is a business and they need to make money, fully understandable. I removed the use of xstals because I think that may be a reason for players to war less. But enabling the use of 1 xstal could work. Another idea is maybe that one needs an ArenA ticket to enter. These tickets drop randomly from certain ebs (with a medium drop rate, higher than SoD's but lower than inferno) or can be bought for 1 nob a ticket. That seems cheap, but to have lots of participation and as a result lots of good matches, the treshold to join should be low imo. Rewards A full level of EE may be a bit too much for a win on the other hand, towers kill plunder and EE compensates that, so if we wanna encourage warring then having a 'war build' should not be punished. Perhaps a second spell can be implemented like forumbum suggested that gives 5% increase per level and 10 levels; so with a maximum of 50% increase. But not sure how that could work alongside normal EE spell, stacking those seems excessive. Or maybe one needs 2 'ArenA' wins to get 1 level of EE? Any other ideas?
