Hey
Unfortunately, I'll have to disagree with the statement about reachability on newer servers.
Granted I do agree that it's not meant to be reached earlier on, however, the timeframe you provided isn't realistic.
Now as for you suggestion. I'll have to disagree.
Arena is a ladder system mean to reward players for commitment and time spent climbing the ranks. The time provided is reasonable (A month) and there's plenty of time to reach the desired goal. Currently, there are no plans on changing that ruling.
Again, appreciate the suggestion. But it's not something we'll be going forward with
