They don't have an incentive to do so now.

As it stands, point inflation will not encourage newcomers to participate in Arena battles say a year from now when someone could have like 4000 points.

They have the same incentive anyone has to accept a fight at the moment.

And with the system of gaining more points for defeating tougher opponents, any new person can easily catch up if they're good enough. If you have 1000 points and challenge someone with 4000, using the system I'd advocate, if you win you'd recieve an additional 300 points.

Though the simple answer to point inflation is saving the records and restarting the leaderboards each year >_>

As Shiden has already said (we posted at the same time apparently.)
