Why are so many people against Arena in Swtor?

no it isnt, because pvp isnt REQUIRED to progress your character, whereas pve content IS

YOUR reply is the one thats flawed buddy

lol having fun follwing me around are you?


in any case, look to what i was replying on that post (the quote) before answering and looking dumb with a post completley irrelevant to my answer...

Because the game is too unbalanced.... You would have to play an operative, sorc, merc ..anybody else aint gettin rank or gear.sorry

I don;t care if they add it or not. I would rather them focus their efforts on something that more players would use though like new WZs.

No it isn't - you could have PvE that is based on skill rather than gear if you wanted it to be. But if the only reward was to have completed it people wouldn't keep on going back day after day to try and get better.

Rewards make people come back and play it again and again to get rewarded again.

Sorry if you don't understand this but that's not my fault "buddy"

I'll state my position again:

I will accept Arena on the following conditions:

1. No gear can be obtained solely through arena that is in any statistical way superior to gear obtained through regular PvP (mounts, titles, etc. are fine as unique rewards).
2. All arena teams must be 4 person teams (no pointless brackets which make balancing harder).
3. All arena teams are required to use one of each base class (i.e. no team can have two of anything which will eliminate a lot of the "FOTM Roulette" of WoW's system).

I can live with arena if these are the conditions, id much rather be without but alright

Blizzard never said that.

I think with the suggestion above Arenas could be lots of fun in SWTOR. I suspect (based purely on my own assumptions) that people loathed the reward system for WoW's arena system much more than they did the general concept. The idea that arena became the necessary endgame PvP if one wanted the best rewards predictably rubbed people the wrong way.


I like these ideas even more, however they seem like they would make the game a good deal less accessible (particularly your last rule) also the different ACs of the varied classes are actually pretty dramatically different so limiting the "one of X only" to class rather than AC strikes me as somewhat arbitrary.

Look at it this way, competitive pvprs are a very small portion of the population. If there was really a market for it, dont you think in this billion dollar industry someone would have come up with a way to turn a profit. Follow the cash, it doesnt lead to pvp sadly.
