Just an idea to restore the arcade. I was thinking about dropping KoA and other missions cr payout, the boss levels a bit more than normal levels, while rising some of the arcade levels cr drop. Currently the arcade is rarely used due to the hall of heroes already containing the majority of recipes and the less cr/time spent in comparison to missions. Missions would still be played due to people seeking the initial reward for completing a mission for the first time, although repetitive play of the missions would be discouraged.
I believe this change would help restore the arcade as currently the only purpose of going there is for boss weapon/armor recipes.
Would appreciate if you helped point out any flaws to this suggestion :P

Remember you need to pay 200-500cr to enter arcade levels each time (small at first but adds up with multiple runs). So those lazy enough to not get clearance on each gate but still play a lot will find a better balance at missions in the end.

Correct me if I'm
@ Luguiru
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the cr payout for Vana in the arcade got reduced as well. By boss weapons/armor I meant BTS, BTB, Polaris etc.
@Juances
Thanks, didn't think of that. I was thinking that KoA may be reduced to 5-6k cr and arcade Vana would generate 9-10k cr, so that it would cover the entry cost.

Even at 5-6k cr a run, people would still spam KoA
Reason why people use missions for boss runs is not just the money, it's time. In the amount of time it takes to get to FSC in the arcade, you can do half of FSC, maybe more if you got a good group going.

King of Ashes has already had its payout dropped from 12kCr to 7kCr per run.

There are many well made boss threads around here. The primary reason to jump in through the Arcade is to get boss recipes. What should they do? Should we roll around on the floor and eat toenails?
