since there is mostly one and same winners of survival, why dont you guys give everybody who joins arena 5 arena coins? I dont want to loose honor points like hell when i join it,but still, need arena. To prevent gold botters, make hwid 1 in survival or something in that way.
Make some spot where mobs would be stronger and harder to kill as they would have few %(like 1-2%) more elixir/stone drop rate.
Talking as s/s ~ snow shield or no snow shield, 45% or 60%, i die like a little chick and find myself impossible to do anything.
