It's 'entertaining' to see people resort to the 'devs don't have enough resources' argument when they are out of ideas. I don't have any knowledge of Larian resources and neither do you. I know that they have three studios full o talented people, and much smaller studios have done wonders with much less. The game is there; the mechanics are there; the maps are there, and they are already planning to add more. We are asking for options, since Larian actually listen to suggestions. Maybe they will decide against, and that's fine. But people who are saying no just because they don't like it and play the 'too many resources needed' card certainly are not helping.
I like the idea of being able to play quick matches and also like the idea to play long battles that can take even one hour or more (again, look into Mordheim). The idea to level up is fantastic (Mordheim). Also you can use 'points' to assign the relative strength (Mordheim, but pretty much every other games with PvP). Balance is so overrated. I like to play creative matches against the odds. Again, broke record, but in Mordheim you can set up the match 'level' and then go with whatever configuration you like the most. It's not about winning or losing, it's about having fun. With what we have now I had fun for a few days, but at the moment I have no need to go back to the Arena and play the same cards every time....
