Please modify it to a somewhat suitable alternative in the arena such as sparring but not get deducted with rate and just deaths / kills so I can participate.

I'm fully aware of a mass PK Arena in the complex but I believe this suggestion would be more suited for players wanting a 1 v 1 challenge.  

Only the main spar adds statistics and changes rating. Master Li's spar is probably the best one to practice in.  

They need to have more like Master Li's just for fun.  

ive always wanted a once on one system that allows for the use of the other weapons and affects k/d and not sparring.  

Yeah, I'm at Master Li's now, however; it's not as populated as it isn't in Graal City.  

Everything doesn't have to be in Graal City. We have an entire map full of areas scarcely inhabited by Graalians. So many lonely NPCs! Be glad you can put more of the map to good use while avoiding unnecessary lag due to an excessive amount of players.  

The Guild spar arena in Belle is only good for dust collecting now ._. They need to spiffy up that place so people could use it. Or perhaps make it into a practice guild spar (like Li's) so score doesn't count.

Don't forget the ones in Snowtown and Swamp town.

We used it in US to divide the guild between iPod and mixed rosters for a couple GST competitions, and it really is great practice. It's often unoccupied, has similar level design to the championship rooms, and it's just really fun. Try it!

Although, it would be cool if either the Swamptown Arena or the Belle Isle Arena didn't exchange score, and we were notified so guilds wouldn't be too afraid of losing a good score to practice. It would probably cut down on the number of dumb extra guilds like "alternate" or "practice" guilds.. You should only need one tag.

The more they have, the less popular Master Li's will be.

The one in Snowtown technically isn't an arena anymore lol. Just an ice skating rink.

And Yen, Master Li's kinda already is unpopular ._. Poor chub chubs.

Players will always flock and group together in a single area. Putting stuff at other places of the world isn't going to give players a reason to sit around there. They'll go there when they need something and leave and go hang around Graal City.

That's kind of the flaw people don't seem to consider when they yell at staff to "make other towns worth going to" because you will NEVER be able to force players to spread out. It's a social game and players want to be around other players.

I was a bit disappointed about the mechanics used to 'judge' if your player can spawn at places like Battle Arena. For one thing it never tells you WHAT experience you needed. I went and sparred at Master Li's thinking I had to have some spars under my belt in the practice arena first, but that wasn't it either. I had to find out here, on the forums, that it simply meant I didn't have enough hours. What do hours have to do with experience? I think the prerequisite for sparring at the other spar arenas should be actually sparring at Master's Li. That's REAL experience, that actually lets a player experience a real spar, which is way more useful experience for Battle Arena than just clocking in hours.

in strosteria that will be fixed, youll have a hard time grouping in a city because if your not a part of that city the guards will attack you.

The hour requirment is used to unmotivate boosters. other than that 100% agree with you.
