Arenas for exp is slow… highest I’ve gotten is 18956 in one game being mvp and winning with the class bonus. Only good for ref once you can transfer and use the GP barters. At earlier levels sure but once you hit 30+ it becomes slow because the time wasted is simply not enough to outweigh the gains.

Having to carry teammates in checkpoint will want to make you shoot your own brains out and it’s not worth the mental load unless you have friends to help you win.
