lol at the people who say it's not about the comps. i guess only bads play the classes that have terrible representation too
Obviously comps come into account aswell, but noone is stopping you from playing a comp in arenas.

If you think something is OP and extremely easy, then feel free to roll the class and play it.

Everyone who says that its only about comp, I am 100% sure that whatever comp or class you played, regardless of gear, you would not be able to compete with any top 10 team on any ladder.

Arenas mercilessly reveal the lacking skill of a player, something which is a horrible thought for gamers that overestimate themselfes, which makes up the main chunk of the players.
Spot on, thanks.

Even Blizzard admits arenas were a mistake because of what it did to the rest of the game. If you built your game around PvP (AKA Guild Wars), arenas are fine. If you built your game around PvE (SW:TOR), arenas are a BAD idea.
Yea, because they had horrible developers who could not balance anything at all.
The main problem with Blizzard is that they were too *********** stubborn and dumb to realize when they made a bad change, this meant that they made a **** change in one patch. Then in the next patch they would try to fix this **** change with other **** changes, instead of just removing the change in the first place.

Blizzard had extremely bad developers, and them blaming the fact that it effected the rest of the game too much is just ********. Because they always made horrible changes, and so very few of them actually had anything to do with arenas, which could be spotted a mile away. This means that they are just coming out with excuses for their bad balancing, that is all.

Just say no to arenas in swtor, not now, not ever. There is no need to explain why, the subject has been discussed ad nauseum in WoW, WAR, AoC, Aion, RIFT and now SWTOR.

Dont go there BioWare, arenas just arent worth the trouble they will cause.
Then Havoc Squad is extremely bad at PvP, and wouldnt be a loss to the PvP scene at all.

Becaus of such wannabe elitists I don't like Arenas and didnt't like them in WoW either. If you want to boast with your skill, join cb and play fps.

I would vote against arena, open PVP is so much more enjoyable. It just needs to be fixed, IE ilum.

To all of those "but Arena is the truest test of pvp skill". Because im sure you played the flavor of the patch class in wow and played a powercomp with it. 2. You HAD ADDONS which swtor does not support (and hope they never support). Try being all ****** when you cant mouseover dispell or have something flash on your screen when x character is casting something behind you. 3. You claim skiill, and im sure you are avid pvp players but realistically anyone with half a brain and the ability to put A and B together can be a pretty solid pvp player. Its all stat padding and knowing who and what you can use and when to use it. Common sense. There are bad pvp players because they are either 5 years old, drunk, high, or are just trying to be the biggest douche they can. Bottom line is we dont need arena in Swtor, WoW has it and it can stay there, i dont want another wow clone.

I feel no reason to boast about my skill, I'd just like to tell other people they are bad because they are so much against arenas.

If Arena becomes a focus of SWTOR PvP, i`ll leave, so will many i know. Simple as that.

Focus on open world and GvG pvp and improve it.

I played the same class in arenas non-stop from S2 to S9, playing all kinds of various comps at high ratings. Did not use any addons at all either, because I think they helped people too much, so I did not like them.

About number three, then how come so many people were not good at arenas at all?

Arenas have wonderful skilled players.

That would be why you had such wonders as zone exploits (how did they get in my starting area before the match started?), GCD hacks, win trading, rating padding, and other such gems to insure the "good" got their high ratings in WoW. I can't think of a "clean" season in recent memory, and as long as that's the way of things, you can't call those arenas the height of PvP play. They're an attempt to fit an MMORPG character into the equivalent of Quake, and the box never has fit properly, nor will it.

Keep it casual. The good will still be good, but the massive impetus to cheat will no longer be there.
