I like this a lot! Full support! I honestly need something to convince me to do Coli, and this is perfect!

Support!! That sounds a lot of fun and makes coli more interesting for a lot of people and I!

Support! I don't personally do coli stuff but I adore this idea and it'd definitely be super engaging for many people!!

I love this idea, having a little spice to the Coli would be MUCH appreciated, especially since I occasionally flip fodder for monies.

having generic coli loot as a prize might be a little blah though, seeings as you'd just be coming back from a grind (I've done "bounty" type challenges before where you need to fight until you've won a specific amount of a specific item, if the RNG doesn't want to give you a certain monster, you could be in there a LONG TIME).
I'm not sure exactly how I'd want to combat this, since saying "just have it be non-standard loot" feels kind of like a copout. :\

oh yeah, I get what you're saying. it's definitely not a deal breaker, of course, just a thought I had. still major support!

it's a cool idea and much needed.

this is a really great idea that might motivate me to do more coliseum time..

I support this. I hate coli and don't even want to coli during festivals, this would give me slightly more motivation.

I love the idea
