Let me know if this was nerfed or something, especially for newer players.

Never tried it with a buddy. I had it happen with another player in arena. They kept attacking and failing, I kept attacking and winning. It was a lot of points for me. They eventually quit trying, after about 45 attempts, lol. Not an exageration either.
I've never had a revenge buddy per se. I did have one guy though that I went back and forth with for well over a month. He beat me on his second attempt, and I revenged him twice. Then he revenged me twice... and on and on we went.
As Androly-San pointed out, there is no good way to make sure you get matched up with a friend. If you do happen to somehow find a friend on your list you could set up some kind of arrangement with them to both set weak defenses and revenge each other repeatedly. If enough people beat you after your friend does and before you revenge him he'll get pushed off your history list though.
I don't know that it is worth worrying about this too much though. If you set a weak defense you are going to maintain a pretty low arena rank and be matched up against low level players a lot. If you have good monsters, set a strong defense, and work hard you will get to higher ranks in the arena and get much better gp rewards. Earning 4 gp instead of 3 per win was a big jump for me. The higher rank rewards are even better than that.
If you have not the greatest monsters, well, I've seen people with one weak monster for defense, who, when attacked, farm back and forth.
Sorry I may not have clarified; That is what I meant by "If you set a weak defense you are going to maintain a pretty low arena rank and be matched up against low level players a lot."
You get matched with low level players and have easier wins that way, or you might get beat by low level players that you can beat on the revenge side. It's a pretty well known farming technique to set a weak defense.
Once you have better monsters though you get more out of the arena by setting your defense strong and getting all your wins in the higher reward rankings.
I think some of you misunderstood his question. I think what he wants to know is whether he can still place a weak monster on Arena Defense, and then have people attack him, then he revenges, then the opponent revenges the revenge, the he revenges the opponent's revenge on his revenge (lol). He's not asking about whether you can be matched with your friends and revenge him.
Yes, you can still do it. I'd say that if you can't get to Fighter and win consistently there, then you should do this. However, if you're at Fighter rank and can maintain consistently, as Mathbud said, it's better to stay there for both the GP and weekly rewards.
Yes, Mystrile pretty much got it.
I assumed something so easy would be nerfed, as you can revenge back and forth furiously with eachother until you run out of points. Rather easy to do, especially with your normal attackers. And yes, I have befriended most of my attackers, as it is far easier to revenge eachother this way. The true trick is finding one another online at the same time. If you have a Buddy List, you could expect someone will attack you, and you can then revenge them at your leisure.
Strangely enough, I do not get attacked by many people, but I only sit at 1100 most of the time. I'm still very new (started at the beginning of May), so this method is the easiest for maintaining a good number of glory points every day. Just my 2c.

I still do Arena farm, and it's great. I can get over 700 points a week easily. Starting around Friday I set up real defenses and fight up until Fighter 3 again. If I were to try to earn that many points at Fighter 3, I'd have a hard time so I farm every week now.
I guess I got a bit ahead of myself. I had some big luck with some arena fights, and was able to reach 1200 level. Now, every time I refresh I only get impossible groups. I honestly have to let people beat me so I can find someone I can beat. I just got some awakened 4 stars, and groups of awakened 6 stars are fighting me? What is this?
Anyways, if you run into me, please, attack at leisure.
