wow, so this is a complete mess, to no ones suprise.

You have said its based on a point system, yet you yourself are unable to explain how the points assigned to characters are calculated, and you yourself acknowledged that it makes no sense because a relatively rare, immune ninja with immunity suppression skills frequently puts you up against players using the most basic team in the game. the current system matches admin level initiative and at least 1 event only, pretty strong ninja against one of the weakest lineups possible and you dont think thats *?

"And I know plenty of people that don't like doing arena, so they match with their friends to finish arena missions. And they can do so reliably and quickly all day long using the rules I described above. They have no issues whatsoever doing so. They do so far more than three times, and none of them are CEO. They can so dozens of times, and can quickly complete all of their arena missions and even their first time arena mission designations for moon coins. Perhaps you didn't read what I outlined clearly enough and missed a step?"

are these mod friends with special privileges?, my main is the exact same age as yours and I have never heard of this before, I have played in servers with moderators, have been senior and anbu ranks in moderators groups , aswell I have played in servers with people who use to be the voice of reason in these forums - Garv, IamScrub,Scarlettblue, my current main account is in a server with some of the biggest names in my cluster, the type of guys who know every other player around because they all keep in touch with discord , they know the other players so well that they know when kagari/annie/aika/loco are in swb and when their "pilots" are running their accounts and I can honestly tell you in all my years here I have not once heard of people being able to deliberately match with people in arena

"Strategy and cleverness is also important in arena. Again, personally, With my random collection of non-meta ninjas I've yet to face a tsunade/ten-tails madara "meta" team I can't beat. I understand that you're feeling discouraged about this, but a full rewrite on this system is not something that is going to happen. Graduate teams of computer scientists do not grow on trees. And, again, and system you are proposing will be just as full of flaws and holes that others will hate as the system you hate now."

Its hard to respond to this without being rude, but this is pure, 100% claptrap , strategy and cleverness do not exist in naruto online, matches boil down to either who has spent the most money stacking pos1 or who has higher init ( depending on whether the match takes place in arena or elsewhere). If strategy and cleverness existed in this game in any capacity whatsoever then we would not have every single user and their dog using kushi, because init and pos 1 strength are the only factors that matter. tsunade cancer being the only character that is the exception to this rule, but she is only accessible to the 0.1%. if strategy and cleverness were here in any way shape or form, then we would see all kinds of teams, different players utilizing the hundreds of characters we have to create teams that suit their playstyle, their stats, their strategy, but that has never been the case, it has always been the herd rushing to meta, because thinking/timing/planning/strategizing are literally not components of this game

It is fine that you dont want pose the suggestion, I knew you wouldnt, , you are here for coupons, but theres no need to lie about stuff,

-strategy and cleverness are not factors in this game

-I didnt once say to overhaul the system, you could keep the incoherent point system, its a flash based game, anyone with any computer related degree hell even people with national diplomas could incorporate rules into the existing system

-it would not be expensive to implement,

-there are thousands of computer graduates every year, many of whom end up in places like macdonalds and would leap at a chance to get some industry experience. you are factually true they dont "grow on trees" but there are so many of them eager for work, and more than willing to negotiate on prices and contracts to beat out other struggling graduates that figuratively you could say they grow on trees.

-you are a mod, you saying you have not faced a ten tails madara team you cant beat is worthless, the players of the game dont get free coupons, we dont have unreasonably high power and init levels, ofcourse you can beat them, they may be rich enough to buy madara, but you get a huge sum of coupons every single month aswell as inside knowledge into upcoming events to be able to maximise your power level. An admin account being able to beat players is not an argument that your system is good. That would be like beating a dark souls game with a god mode cheat on and saying that means its so easy that everyone can do it, the 2 things are not even remotely equal, you and I are playing the same game, but me being a regular consumer and you being staff mean they are 2 drastically different experiences

I am not discouraged, just pointing out some blatant short comings in a system that evidently a mod cant explain and by giving your hashirama comment you proved me right that is is unfair, unbalanced and just sheer old *., As I said numerous times, it is the last area of this game that provides any fun and any game play, and i suggested a few tweaks to keep it as the last remaining good thing we have. You to deflect my mere suggestion by saying that nobody supports it, even though you know * well we are in a forum where 1:we are not allowed to express opinion 2: everyone knows you dont care so they dont venture to this subforum unless they have an issue personally to deal with 3: even if there was traffic in this subforum and even if they agreed with me they still would not voice up because what would happen if they supported change? you or another mod would delete their comment, delete the thread and send insulting, sometimes threatening dm's
