Pros: Arena is an intituive modeling software that allows you to simulate service and production systems, graphic enviroment is easy to follow. Cons: Software input analyzer can be better, model´s graphics animation should be easier top set. Overall: I used this software to modelate service operations like banks and workshops.

Arena is a discrete event simulation and automation software developed by Systems Modeling and acquired by Rockwell Automation in 2000.[1] It uses the SIMAN processor and simulation language. As of Dec 2016, it is in version 15, providing significant enhancements in optimization, animation and inclusion of 64bit operation for modelling processes with 'Big Data'. It has been suggested that Arena may join other Rockwell software packages under the 'FactoryTalk' brand.[2]
In Arena, the user builds an experiment model by placing modules (boxes of different shapes) that represent processes or logic. Connector lines are used to join these modules together and to specify the flow of entities. While modules have specific actions relative to entities, flow, and timing, the precise representation of each module and entity relative to real-life objects is subject to the modeler. Statistical data, such as cycle time and WIP (work in process) levels, can be recorded and made output as reports.
Arena can be integrated with Microsoft technologies. It includes Visual Basic for Applications so models can be further automated if specific algorithms are needed. It also supports importing Microsoft Visio flowcharts, as well as reading from or sending output to Excel spreadsheets and Access databases. Hosting ActiveX controls is also supported.
Arena is used by companies engaged in simulating business processes. Some of these firms include General Motors, UPS, IBM, Nike, Xerox, Lufthansa, Ford Motor Company, and others.[3] It has been noted that creating a simulation can require more time at the beginning of a project, but quicker installations and product optimizations can reduce overall project time.[4] Arena can simulate diverse operation types, including call centers, for optimizing the use of agents and phone lines, the size and routing of pancake stacks in a food processing facility,[5] and the design of a gold mine.[6]
I'm not sure what the devs were smoking when they implemented this feature, but it doesn't make sense to play secret fight club. You make more coins in lesser arena levels.
Spread the word
Math edit w/ads:
9/10 level 15 arena wins = ~9100 coins
6/10 SFC wins = ~9850 coins + shards
5/10= ~8675 coins + shards
Are any F2P players actually winning 60%+ of your matches? Probably not. Are F2P players even winning 50%?
And if you are sometimes winning 10/10 of your level 15 arena, which is definitely possible, and you are winning 50% SFC matches (which I think is gernerous) you would be losing out on ~1400 coins per 10 energy. That's a lot of coins.
