The way the actual battles are judged is a separate problem. Since I noticed the other day that I have been losing points, I agree that I have been losing more often to opponents that seemed to be weaker than I am, but usually, I only have one opponent out of the 3 given to me that I would even attempt to fight (fights which I usually seem to lose now). Around 50% of the time, all 3 opponents are way more powerful than I am, so I can't even attempt to fight them anymore. (And yes, I am still noticing that most fights which I do attempt offer me 1 mojo as a possible reward, but when I lose I am penalized 31 mojo, which seems additionally unfair)

Starting today, I noticed that every time I lose an arena battle, I lose 31 mojo (and I even lose 31 mojo on fights which would only have earned me 1 mojo in the first place). I don't understand the need for punitive changes to the arena system. It was bad enough when you changed the system recently to force us to fight battles by taking away our choice of opponents. According to the old system, we would be given 3 possible opponents out of which we could choose the opponents we felt that we were best suited to fight. According to the new system, the system chooses 3 opponents; these are the only opponents that I can fight for the next 30 min. I have been given, more than once, 3 opponents who have at least 6000 more ego than I do and are at least 5 levels higher than I am. The chances of beating those opponents were extremely low, but there was no harm in at least trying, since I wasn't being punished for losing. Now that you are punishing me for losing, there is no point in trying. If you are going to take away 31 mojo which each loss, at least give us 31 mojo for each win, not 1 mojo for a win and -31 mojo for a loss. Truthfully, I would like to go back to the old system of arena fights.

The "Working Holidays" contest is supposed to award two medals for every XP earned, I have earned 2 levels (which are thousands of XP points for each level) since the contest began last evening, but I am still at 0 points in the contest.
