I have to agree. I don't want to jump on the hate oasis bandwagon, but I will point out that my server merged over a month ago and we had 20-30 people on each team in sage - awesome right?

Well, today we had 10-12 each team in Sage. That's a big drop-off. I think my group has lost about 30% of the members since the merge (maybe more).

Most events - Matsuri, Sage, Plunder, these events really favor the top 10 on the server (yes i'm one of them). Someone with 36k power and weak refining and two designated was asking me how to get six path sennin in the Arena now that it's cross-server and I basically told him I didn't think it was possible. Plunder rewards are so skewed compared to convoy. I really feel bad to steal people's coupons but if you don't do it, you are at a real disadvantage compared to people who do.

Even GNW, most people aren't happy with the participation rewards. This kind of *s, because in some ways, the game is better for f2p more than ever (way more opportunities to get seals compared to 2-3 months ago). But, server populations are so spread out and all the events really cater to the top players (too much in my opinion). People just leave for other games or go to new severs - very few people ever start playing on an existing server.

Lots of people at different stages (low power f2p, small spenders, whales) seem to be unhappy, despite the 2.0 changes (which on the whole, were good)... not a good prognosis for the future.
I think one thing that could improve Arena (besides the matchmaking flaws everyone has pointed out) is to let people use trial ninjas in ranked. What's the harm...?
