This is just current ideas

Top 10 for server Recieve Legandary War Hero
Top 25-50 Black Color Crystal weapon
Top 100 Speeder
Rating approx 1800 eq from similar rating system to wow = Teal-Black Crystal Weapon

This is just current ideas.

Im sure peopel could expand more on it i was accually thinking one of those cat things with the hundreds of teeth would make a cooler and more prestegious mount for the top 100 but that would depend on there difficulty adding the mechanics for it as oppose to a speeder.

Signed.

For the 1v1 though... I'd make that class based aswell bye bye imbalance.
Each class their own ladder.

no no no to arena it ruined WoW it will ruin TOR.

Personally, I'm against arena and everything it involves.

And how exactly this is pretty vague.

Same question as above, it is pretty vague can you give some more info as to what it is you are against and what it involves.

Basically there's no point in pvping after valor 60 and no the "it is fun" argument alone wont count. People want shinies, so give em shinies.

Apart from that ...this game is horribly balanced. Bring arena and you will see which class truly dominates pvp and which wont.

Personally i dont see how arena ruined wow. I mean if you dont like PvP dont PvP cosmetics from PvP do not hurt the game. If players pvp for the cosmetic peices those peices are no better than gear players get from warzones at the moment they are cosmetic only meaning players who get them recieve a cosmetic bonus because they preform well.

If you cant find a player who you can pvp with then you do 1v1 arena with a companion. The idea of adding a companion allows players to not rely on another player while providing a versitility to balance class flaws. IE) an assassin dps might use talos or a sorcerer who heals might use ashara and so on depending on your class your start and balance factors. Seeing companions are not players you also add in the element that they balance out a lil better in some ways with evening out against players because expertise benefits them i would assume against players but does not benefit players against them.

There are alot of elements to that that could be looked at as an interesting balance to the equation. Additionally having ladders of 1v1 up to 4v4 adds additional elements to the game and gives people who enjoy the pvp aspects of the game something to strive for later in the game.

Some people look to end game for PvE other people want something for PvP as an end game factor. If the warzones still provide you with similar gear to the Arena PvP gear but its less asthetically pleasing well do better in arena. The same factor applies to PvE players who want gear from opps the same thing applies you want the best gear work for it. Honestly if all you loose is some asthetics well i guess that sucks for you. Or you dont get some prestige because you cant win the same thing goes in reverse. Especially with the current state of the games latency/fps issues.

I know there are plenty of people on some servers at the moment that cant do opperations at all but they would own your face in a warzone. This gives them the option to do something that allows them to get the recognition for there own personal skill in a similar fassion to a PvE player.

I also like the idea of having a death match battle royal. Its something personally i wish more games had a que to do something similar. 24 people fighting in a last man standing pvp zone. I mean its never going to be an exact science and yeah there will be downsides to it but hell it would be a tone of fun. Even if you qued with 2-3 friends and tried to team up theres no saying that like 10 people wouldnt gang gank you. There are alot of interesting factors to it and i think PvP would greatly benefit from having this. I think there should be a 100 match minimum to qualify for any of the cosmetic gear and id like to see something implimented different from the rating system wow had something more oriented arounda win/loss ration since pvp is all server oriented at the moment. (Which i personally enjoy).

NO! if this game starts with arena's i'm out! i'm loving it's warzones and many vs many.. Wow died in pvp for me when arena crap started.....!
To change a game that much specialy pvp is stupid !

IF there was to be arena, at least make it CHOICE! with that i mean that you can still do warzones and get BEST pvp gear, so it will not be like in wow you got FORCED to do arena since only there did you get best gear + titles etc...
Wow started with only battlegrounds, and it was awesome then they failed with arena... Arena is as boring as playing chess, almost the same too.

So i agree with the other's it destroyed wow, i mean come on? force a BAD pvp system on PAYING people? .... Lame ....
And my wish is that it will stay as it is, just add mode warzones etc, i NEVER hope they start anything called "rated" and stuff, like "rated warzones" = ONLY premade and NO fun at all, at least not if you're not in a "pro" pvp guild etc... MEH.....

Gear rewards should be the same stats for all pvp. But different skins and titles for each of the pvp content sounds just fine.
