Having a class make-up to beat another class make-up is not hardcore pvp... That is why arena is a fail....Has nothing to do with skill and everything to do with group make-up. 8 on 8 rated waz-zones will be much more of a skill test... and thats comming soon... cant wait
PUT YOUR HELMET ON !!!

Only way I'd be ok with Arena was if it only gave vanity rewards like mounts, titles and vanity costumes. Arena creates this horrible gap that is so ahrd to overcome. All the people in full battlemaster who make full battlemaster teams would end up at the top of the arena ladder adn get the best arena gear the fastest and just squat there. People who come to the table later get screwed. It also leads to balancing around stupid team make-ups. Because only 2 variations of 3v3 are viable or only one is the best, some people get shut otu of arena completely and can't ever get their gear. Arena is crap.

I wonder why so many people want arenas. I can only conclude it is for the following reasons: -Something to show off perceived leetness (With gear, titles, ratings, etc) -I liked this system in WoW, why WOULDN'T Star wars do the same thing?! WoW and arenas: "When they introduced resilience and arenas. It split the community in two and we never recovered". -I don't like potentially queuing with scrubs in my team -I like a challenge (THEN SOLO QUEUE!!! Or setup matches in world pvp, etc but most people won't do this because they have nothing to show for it. Going back to my first point).

probably because they feel like it will be a detriment to the game. I don't really care either way, I love PVP and fair 1v1 fights but I get fulfillment from WZ and just running around ganking.

The Warrior Shield Slam damage nerf was a good example. The PvE community whined and whined that their PvE was being nerfed because of PvP, even though Blizzard very clearly stated that they wanted to spread out Prot Warrior damage across their other abilities rather than having 80% of Prot Warrior damage in PvE come from one button. It's funny, because in general PvP balance and fixes were practically ignored by Blizzard. Legendary quality PvE items in PvP, Arena maps that STILL had serious terrain bugs (Feared into the wall again, yay...) and other issues that just never got addressed. So now we have these people in SWTOR, and they're just petrified of the idea of any sort of organized, competitive PvP because they still think that their PvE DPS/Healing/etc will get nerfed into the ground if anything happens in PvP. Dude you are so WRONG, my Scrapper did get nerfed and my PVE damage burst in PVE got cut in half. Now claim you are still right. Go ahead and lie more please.

I think people are misquoting Blizzard devs. IIRC, they never said arenas were a mistake per se, but said they wish they would have planned for arenas from the very start instead of tacking it on later.

World PvP aint very popular and therefor it aint main thing in any MMO since DAOC, There aint a single popular MMO with healthy world PvP. What comes to no skills and no gear, all decent and up from that teams had same gear so it wasnt any issue, even bad teams had same gear at 2/3 of a season apart minor upgrade on weapon.

Warrior was only viable tank class, 1-2 paladins, rogue was must, so was mage in every team. There wasnt much of variation on team compositions at higher ratings.Will be just as same when rated WZs come, although this game has less classes/specs but FOTM will be name of the game in high rated WZ also.
