Partially incorrect. Good players win in arena more often than not. You can always break the contract before you even go for the first round, if the deck you were trying to build didn't end up the way you wanted. But there's a better way to have a better deck in arena: building the most efficient deck with cards given to you instead of trying to build a deck you want.
P.S. Are you placed top 500 every season? Or were placed top 500 just once at some point of a season?
Of course good players win more, but I feel that card/deck quality in Gwent Arena is much more important than in draft modes in other digital CCGs. The very first deck I drafted had Shupe, Stefan and Francesca, so it had easy 9 wins. Just one card like Wardancer, Olgierd or Morkvarg can secure you a few easy wins because of CA it provides. But then again, a good player will most likely to draft a better deck given the same choices.
What's the point of breaking a contract? Do you get better rewards than for going 0-3?
P.S. Nah, I don't have that much time to grind ranked to be in the top 1000 every season, but I believe I always climbed to at least 4300 with the exception of February when I got to around 4100. And yes, I was in the top 500 by the end of the last season. As a long time Skellige fan I couldn't miss an opportunity to get that border. But the irony is that I made it with Henselt who countered the meta pretty good.
