As we all know, arrows have been a HUGE problem, since they aren't an optional weapon as they were before, you can get up to 30-60 arrows before refill if you're lucky. Which brings me to the point where you, lets say are winning , then comes a pro with a bow and a stack of arrows bows you down to death and wins, its more powerfull than flint and steel now, comparing the damage of arrows (which is a ranged weapon as we know) versus the usual armor per game for a loosing person thats trying to win ( half leather half gold/chain or full chain/gold up to half chain/gold and half iron armor) that would mean that you would only have to use a bow to kill him after refill if you take it. Im just stating a lot of bad things that this ammount of arrows bring, in any part of the game they are a vital advantage now, i don't know if your goal was to make them a main weapon as like sword is, but its went too far, lower it down to 3 arrows per tier 1, or 2 or 1, because every time its deathmatch, i don't even use a sword i've always got stack or two of arrows which would win the game easily, stand in middle of the cornucopia and shoot like there's no tomorrow. I'd like to see what chad and others were thinking to achieve by putting this ridicilous amount of arrows.

Edit: I've forgot to mention that flint and feathers are also everywhere, to be honest now when i think about it little more i've got little under 50% of my arrows from crafting them.

Sadly the games aren't as fun as they used to be with only like 5 to 10 arrows D:

Totaly agreed, maybe if they boosted them up to 20 arrows or something, so you can do average/high damage with them now you can do high/lethal damage...

Yus. Sometimes I don't think having 3 stacks of arrows is fair to the rest or to me :/. There's not that much sword pvp now only bows :(

I don't get why they added more arrows. It's the Hunger Games..everything is supposed to be scarce! But nah..'let's just completely go against the lore of the Hunger Games and give the players more food, arrows, and other crap! :D'

Completely agreed. I think there should be 1-2 arrows in Tier 1 chests, and 4-5 in Tier 2 chests. If this was my decision, I would make it so you would have to craft all the arrows you have, but I know that isn't going to happen.
Also, I am terrible with a bow, and prefer sword-fighting. Sorry if that makes my answer biased. :p

To be fair, it isn't the hunger games, and we are in no way obligated to follow the lore.

I still agree that there are much too many arrows though.

I was writing a really long post but then my computer went [insert rage here] crazy. Of course. /ragequit.
Anyways, I agree. Less arrows please.

Sure, but let's be honest here. The game would be a lot more fun and intense if we didn't have stacks of food and other junk. Being in the Survival Games means you needa survive as best as you can; it's extremely easy to survive when you can easily get two diamonds and a stick.

It's my opinion at least. :p
