Hi Pal, welcome to the forums. Glad to see your first few threads have to do with sparring, I like it. However, allow me to outline an unfortunate theme that has plagued this forum.
Sparring is basically a forbidden topic of discussion here, because the iClassic (or maybe even entire Graal) community seems offended by being shown outright that they are worse (or better, I guess) than a player at some element of this game in a very practical and straightforward way. The general community seems more interested in team-based parts of the game, like towering and "guild sparring." I theorize that this is because, if they lose, they cannot be pointed at directly and be told that they didn't do well. They can instead put that burden on the entire group of players on their team. It is much easier to be better at these parts of the game because it is harder to determine who is worse, whereas in a spar you can get stomped in a very personal, 1-on-1 match over and over again and have no excuse to fall back on.
Here is a list of people that you might be interested in observing in the Battle Arena: - Everyone in US and Alumni (mostly the same people anyway)
- Sarah (forced to spar with delay to her location, extremely difficult and annoying to spar against)
That's all I can think of right now, actually.
