I respectfully disagree with the notion that the arena doesn't deserve further development because it might take away dev time from single player. When internet and multiplayer first started gaining traction in various genres, most fundamentals of multiplayer gaming developed from "after thought" of games that have very polished single player. Examples: Doom, Warcraft 2, Diablo, Starcraft. It provided said games with an additional depth on top the already decent single player experience, namely a competitive, skill-based environment for players to duke it out against each other. It also prolongs the longevity of the game and expands the potential audience. I'm not saying "just make a half-assed single player slapped on top of multiplayer" like most companies do nowadays. I'm saying Larian should make a great single player game (which DOS2 seems well on its way to do so already) and make the whole package better by adding a great competitive multiplayer on top of that. By the look of things that's exactly what Larian intends to do. We should help them out by giving constructive feedback like what OP is doing here.
