That's what we are doing: soft reset. People keep the ranks.
GP loss already IS doubled. ANd the arena GP are removed. It is mentioned in the topic, so yes, metioning them is not appropriate.
So you're not interested in the other contet on the arena, we get it. However, how do you want us to just ban the players? Only because they are not active in the other activities?
The changes are not in the game yet, by the way. And why do you draw such conclusions? People will have to participate in sieges if they want ranks.
And it is way easier to get caught for trading in siege than in the arena, don't you think? A buch of people was already banned for trading in sieges, and the others who do it will have the same fate.
We didn't say anything about doing it by schedule. The announcement is about upcoming changes, and yes, we didn' announce the date on purpose. We don't want players to feel frustrated and stop doing anything in the game just because they know about the reset.
