A primary problem with the nature of Arena is because it's supposed to be competitive in nature, people still feel the drive to "win". I see some people keeping track of their win/ tie/ loss ratings and I can't help but wonder how many of those games actually ran fairly or if people didn't try to bend things in their favour just to get that "win".

I use win in quotations because ultimately, in this medium, the outcome has to be in a sense mutually agreed upon at some point instead of what should have been the finishing blow or submission being countered in some way.
