Seems the Arena is broken

OK, so I heard you can farm mats relatively easy in the Arena, so my wife and I decided to give it a try along with some "hands-on" marital therapy. We ported in, talked to the NPC, got everything set up, picked our teams, then the boxes spawned after taking our arena "stakes". Well, as soon as I bent down to get a team-tag, the boxes disappeared, leaving me standing there like an idiot.

What worries me about all this is the GM response I got from submitting a couple tickets: "Your issue has been forwarded to a testing queue so we may investigate and determine the cause of this stake disappearance. Please note we do not have an ETA on when testing will be completed concerning this issue.
Unfortunately we cannot reimburse or recover the stake at this time. " Wow really? In other words, sorry about your luck chump, better luck next time? I'm saddened that they refuse to reimburse a lousy 100k token. It is a lot of coin to a somewhat new player like me, even though I know in the grans scope, 100k is minuscule. Anyways, seems the Arena needs extensive "testing", I advise keeping out of it.

    Well guessing you didn't read the announcement when they first put the arena back into PWI did ya?


    The exact word where:


    USE THE ARENA AT YOUR OWN RISK!

    To be clear this is the cube deathmatch arena and not the AWOL arena from the floaty spinning sword thingie. I don't think there are any mats in there and noone ever does it since there is no real benefit.

    Actually, it was rude, as was the remark after that, but whatever. I had a serious doubt that I would have to search to see if something was broken before I tried it assuming it would work along with the rest of the game. Ain't gonna whip a dead horse, it's over, my loss.

    This is the reason why these forums blow. Because newcomers come here looking for answers, and people whose-momma's-didn't-teach-them-manners come and act like know it all jack asses.

    To OP: Sorry to hear your disappointment. Lets hold out hope that the Devs back at HQ will work on it.

    Why? Because they didn't have the common sense to actually search to see if anyone else had that same issue before? Chances are they are far from the first one to notice it, being the first one to find a bug in something as large as this game is incredibly, incredibly rare
