New arena token payouts...
Correct me if I am wrong here but after some rather basic math, I have come to the conclusion that the update to arena tokens:
Arena payouts have decreased by 100 Arena Tokens, but the daily challenge reward for completing three Arena battles has been increased by 100 Arena Tokens. This was done to assist lower level players with acquiring more Arena Tokens to purchase character Shards in the Arena Store.
is not to allow lower level players to acquire more tokens but to require them to play a minimum of three matches a day to receive the same amount.
For example: Sally gets 3rd every day both before and after the update by playing 5 matches everyday. Before the update she got 900(payout)+100(for daily 3 matches)=1000. After the update she would receive 800(payout)+200(for daily 3 matches)=1000 yet again.
Now we come to Timmy who also plays 5 matches every day before and after the update, but he consistently gets between 1001-2500 because he is new and his team is not meta. In this situation He would receive 400(payout)+100(daily for 3)=500. After update it would be 300(payout)+200(daily for 3)=500 yet again.
Lastly we get to poor ole Mikey. Mikey, like Timmy, is also pretty new but he is a busy man and enjoys his time in GW and regular LS/DS battles so only plays 1-2 arena matches a day but is happy with the 300 tokens he gets a day for placing between 2501-5000 even if he does not get the bonus 100 from playing 3 daily matches. After the update however, Mikey will only get 200 unless he finds the time to play at least 3 matches to receive the extra 200 daily. Sure he will get 100 more, but it is by requiring him to devote more time to an area of the game he either may not like or does not have time to do.
In conclusion, the only people that will see any sort of benefit are the ones who play less than 3 arena battles a day, who now are pressured to play a minimum of 3 battles a day.
Sorry for the long post.

This change was made for the same reason they decreased the amount of time arena rewards stay in your mail box from three to two days.
The changes they've made to arena rewards have had one goal - Get people playing the game every day.
then why does this post even exist?? lol
just wanting to complain to complain, eh? lelz
I think EA members should be called out when they post something that is blatantly wrong.
Exactly, I personally care less what they pay out to anyone at any rank. The thing that kinda irks me is that they said it will give lower level players in getting more arena tokens. Like Wheaton said, it does not do that at all. They misrepresented the fact that they are trying to get casual players to get more into it.
Exactly
