Why are so many people against Arena in Swtor?

What is your point in spamming this link? I am watching an arena tournament right now, and I am seeing several different comps.

IF THEY ADD ARENAS, why not just have BETTING/GAMBLING for credits be the reward? Possibly teams can challenge and wager eachother, with NO GEAR rewards. This will eliminate any "extra" grind, while giving the top teams notoriety and some extra ching!

Really what would the argument be with this? Other than crybaby arena teams saying they want more... this is the MMO lifestyle though.

I really like this idea, I'd take this over gear.


Seriously not enough discussion on my topic! Really what issues would this cause other than what I stated, I think its worth a thought?


Gambling laws cant possibly even be in play for the fella that mentioned it---- there is no real currency exchange, its virtual money, the same as "free" online poker...

No, arena shows what comps beat other comps. It has nothing to do with someone having skills in warzones but not having skills arena's. Every comp in SWTOR arena would have a sage/sorc and a vanguard / powertech. The 3rd filler would just be how your team feels works best with the other 2.

Even the comps considered the worst can reach 2300+ in wow.

Player skill is so much more important then which class is played.

If you are a great player you will succeed, only at the very highest cutting edge top of the ladder does comps and minmaxing become the main factor.

Apart from that if comp is sooo important then warzones would have preferred classes also, resulting in the same problem.

Im sorry but anyone whos played an MMO in the last 5 years or so has to know... the nerf bat makes its rounds constantly due to the player base input good or bad. Classes go Overpowered to Underpowered in a single patch. As long as they dont balance the game around arena I dont see an issue with adding it for bragging rights, but is that even possible???....

Really Bragging rights in my opinion add alot to the game. I really like world PvP which doesn't seem to exist anymore. But-- the fact its a random 1v1 fight tooth and nail encounter makes it exciting everytime. I think competition drives a person and whenever a game can draw in players in this way they wil profit.

i'm sure you are. i mean out of the 53 comps possible there are a whole 3 comps that make up the top 50%+ of arena teams right now. clearly comp isn't important. rofl

U used a emote lol

This argument about arenas are meaningless, and we just have to simmer down and wait for something to happen. Arguing about the pros and cons will have very little effect on the decision the devs have. If they want arena in the game, it will be by their choice, and they will design it to suit their needs. If there is never any arenas, and you want them, tough luck. Go to another game. Thats the simplest solution.

The only way this is ever gonna balance out is if they take away the trees, only have 4 classes, no cc, no heals and mirror powers across both factions.
