Voted yes ofc Mate

these are some awesome ideas!
and even tho i agree i have never had to play one game to support another, I would be happy just
seeing some older removed things come back.
When I started playing, Arena was the only thing I had, Lets face it, This game IS NOT beginner friendly..
Veterans (not all but most) want to have almost NOTHING to do with someone who has never climbed, does not have gear, or is not
well known in the LS community.
thats how it was when i started, the only difference is I had the arena.
EVENTUALLY i was lucky enough to be brought in on a climb with an awesome group due to the help of someone thats not around anymore who lent me good enough gear to
ALLOW me to climb with some of the best

having that solo aspect would be extremely inviting for people who have not yet dabbled in Ladder Slashers
The two biggest reasons I get from people who say they would love to try it but cant/wont are these:
#1: There is almost no gear available to a new person that does not cost an arm and a leg
#2: There is never anyone to climb with (as I stated above)
If it were not for arena at the time (and a much kinder community at the time) I can all but say I would not be playing LS at all
the whole free guild slot thing and vault slot is a nice idea
but with the right updates, one that we all know is something we can live without

with arena back and a much larger community and stronger economy, we would not "need" free slots
Just my 2 cents
See you all in the Cata
