Why are so many people against Arena in Swtor?

I've yet to see PvP be balanced in any MMO yet, close sure, but there's always been classes that are at the top.

and yet again... people say "arena has"

who is to say you know how they would do it?

I like how people are acting as if WZ can't be competitive or strategic. Obviously if you pug WZ you aren't going to encounter much strategy. If there was an option to solo que for 3s or 5s in wow you would see the same thing. They are adding ranked WZ which should be good enough for all you guys who want competitive PvP.

Because until they fix the game I don't want to get caught behind on ladder. Super simple and direct answer I don't want to see yet another thing dominated by the flavors of the month and the Ilum kill trading cheaters and all of that.

If all you want is a warzone with deathmatch, ask for that, as long as you keep asking for arena, you're going to have people that don't want arena. Words have power, try learning to use them.

I want arenas.

Im a noob but i want arenas cuz i like competive play even though im casual and noob. I have nothing against to loose to players that are better than me or just the fact that someone has better gear than me or a class that i cant beat. I dont care.

Its fun to play a bit of skillmaking pvp. To see how bad or good you are, you character is.

Rly all grow up and admit you suck. Its okay to suck, i suck too probably more than most ppl here.

So why cant we have arenas? its not like you have to play it or care about it ?

Just add arenas, i dont care if there is rewards but i want competive pvp. And yes im noob and in wow i was around 1700rating. I was happy about that. If i met the uber fotm i just afked out anyways.

Because there's yet another thing that should be dominated by the exploiters and imperial zerg. Fix the game first.

And grow up? Have you considered that maybe before you get your personal validation and epeen measuring stick implemented I'd like to have my daily missions and gameplay bugs fixed? All it boils down to is your need to be validated by the game - someone to tell you you're doing a good job with your tracer missile spam.

That was uncalled for, he made a valid point that we don't need to be so "precious" about a specific way of playing, and your response to that is to insult him and his opinion. I don't think he's the one in the wrong here.

dude i play imperial sniper and its a damn boring stupid class. only reason i dont reroll is cuz the game sucks way too much.

Arena would help. then maybe i would log once a day. Right now im just readin forums.

No they weren't. They were biased against folks who wanted to be in an actual battle against their opposing faction. PVP in an MMO should be more than just dueling, which is basically all arenas are.

If you are at WAR with an enemy, you should have to freakin' fight them.

<< And yes I hate Huttball.


//edit//

I was a casual player in wow for almost 7 years. I managed to get my 160k honor a week and climb the ladder before arenas.

You claiming to be a "noob" and having a "1700 rating" is exactly why arena sucks: people can cruise their way up the ladder at a leisurely rate and have top gear. Why should folks who spend 2 hours a week playing have the same gear as folks who spend 12 hours a week playing? (And don't get me wrong, I'm still a casual in this game. I just don't have unrealistic expectations that I should be as equally geared (as quickly) as folks who spend a lot more time in the game than I do.)
