The way I see it, you might only get one in five people to vote for you. Some like Barton, and others will like Aekea, Isle De Gambino, Durem, or not even care. Ergot, one in five.
Then you need to factor in those who just paruse the arenas and don't even vote because they're fed up with all the "same old, same old." I'm one of those.
In addition, those who vote have the seperate levels to vote at, attempting to ensure that you won't be a mistake of the flawed system that the devs have created as of late.
I'm pessimistic about the arena because I view the odds as always against me.
