Huttball is fun as **** if your team is competent. Thats the way most things are in life, if your sucking *** you won't enjoy yourself but if you can actually compete you'll like it.

lol@OP.

I played WoW for 5 years and spent a grand total of about 20 hours in arenas.

I spent close to 12 hours a week since Cata released in rated BGs.

As long as Bioware introduces the rated warzones as they've said they will SWTOR pvp will be fine.

Freakin' rogue/mage teams.

Screw arenas. I vote for no arenas. I'd rather see more world PvP incentives and more warzones. If I wanted arena style PvP, I'd play something else. Besides, arenas tend to favor OP class compositions more than anything else. Have a good team composition? Congrats! Enjoy your free gear. Are you limited by a small social circle so that you can't build an OP comp of your own? Is your class one of those classes that no one wants to bring to because it is crap in an arena setting? Screw you, buddy.

PS - This game will be just fine without arenas. What a ridiculous thing to say.

We need rated warzones. Not arenas.

This game does not need multiplayer dueling. That dumbs down pvp

PvP needs something, arenas are not it. This game is not designed for small scale PvP and these ruined WoW by causing everything to be balanced around these 3 person trinitys (healers became impossible to kill for 1 dps, tanks were useless, CC was king).

In my opinion this game needs ranked warzones that can be queued as an 8m team. The way the maps are designed and the way in which the classes have amazing synergy when played well would open up worlds of different comps and strategies in high level organised play.

Can you imagine a huttball match where its not a big zerg in the centre but instead each team has 3-4 people in the center and the remainder of the team engaging in small 1v1 or 2v2 skirmishes holding the higher and side platforms in order to set up a pass line on both sides. Suddenly you have a use for tanks and healers (sorc + guarding tank at enemy goal line, gives pull abilities and a hard to kill healer right on their spawn point), snipers/gunslingers stationary defending the top ramps only handling the ball enough to pass it further on etc etc...
Personally I think this would be amazing

Arena isn't needed.

Not in WoW, in real life, I fight people in a giant pit with a sword and net.
