Picture this: You're down to the wire, your dragons only have a few hp left and the enemy you've fight for fifteen minutes now is almost dead as well, if you miss you're dead. By the luck of the draw you manage a critical! Yipee, you did it! ... er... what? Nope, sorry, you get NOTHING.
This has happened to me on so many occasions it's not funny anymore. What I suggest is to implement a system to where you ALWAYS get something, even if it's crap, at least something for your trouble.
Pros
1|| Make battling more lucrative to a point but more so fulfilling and with a sense that you accomplished something. Fighting for no reward becomes boring or extremely frustrating very quickly.
2|| Help those of FR that can't live on the site to gain a little profit from the time they can get on.
3|| Allow food seekers more pay out for less time (once again to help those that can't be here for hours to feed their poor dragons) and hopefully stabilize the food market.
So, discuss, support, not support?
I do live on FR, and happily grind the coli for hours on end. I make quite a profit off it it and so this suggestion is not for me. I thought it would help people who cannot grind for 75% of their waking time to not become frustrated as easily and actually be able to feel that their time isn't wasted. (there's still the damage curve frustration between levels but that's part of the fun!)

Seeing as I get more lootless than loot battle endings- support! Really, REALLY tired of spending 15-30mins to some hours (assuming I can get the Coli to work) of fighting and only getting....2 maybe 4 items total.
-_- does not encourage me to keep going.

Support' I've only gone on the coliseum for like 2 times for 20 minutes and although I lvled up my dragons to lvl 4- I only got a few pieces of food worth 1-2 food points. It's not even worth it and I rarely get to spend time on this website that I love. I've resorted to trading offsite currency to get like 10k treasure to buy my next dragon,

Support! I'm sick of getting nothing after a hard battle! I can't even load the coliseum 50% of the time, so it would be nice to get something when I can.

THIS.
Unless you have 4+ hours a day to waste mindlessly grinding, FR really isn't playable for more than a few months for most people. More than 50% of the battles end up with no loot whatsoever, meaning at least 2 hours are a complete and utter waste of time. That's a pretty horrible thing to do to what is still a dedicated playerbase. There should [i]always[/i] be some form of loot given out, even if its just food. Undel said that they've been re-balancing the coliseum, but the biggest change that needs to happen isn't some quiet nerfing of familiar sell values, but a change to the entire loot system where winning a battle actually means [i]winning something[/i] and not [i]pointless waste of time[/i].
It's incredibly common to get 5-8 battles in a row with no loot whatsoever. Multiple times. With only junk items drops in between. For hours on end. Yeah, coliseum needs some major re-working there.

Support! Really, the thrill of getting exp only goes so far. Even one measly tuft of feathers after each fight would be better than the sad, empty box I see so often.

Support. While I don't expect rare items to drop constantly, at least one common item would be quite nice.
