I don't see why this matters. If even the top teams can't get shoulders, it means they won't be fighting other teams with shoulders either, so it'll still be even. Gear being harder to get affects both teams playing in an arena battle equally if their ratings are similar, so the net effect there is zero. This will also have no effect on who gets gladiator/duelist/etc. titles, as that is percentage based.
The people this does affect are those who are playing solely to get gear and who don't care about playing for the competition.
