Because it ruins open world PVP. If you want to fight one vs one duel. I am so sick of MMO's making world pvp worthless by forcing every one to enter a que to get the good gear.

Nobody is going to leave over additional, optional PVP content as long as the gear is the same or lesser to currently available gear. So it's 100% win situation. ADDING PvP CONTENT IS NEVER BAD. End of story. It's how you implement it. I'm all for adding PvP content, but adding it exactly how it is in WoW is something that seems to have alot of resistance against. A compromise on the reward system for it, as many have posted/suggested would be a great way to start an Arena system in this game. It just seems that those for an arena system are completely against this type of reward system, yet those completely against or iffy about Arena seem to open up a bit more about it. Sounds like a compromise should be made to get the most out of it.

It will attract a similar percentage. So.. you know.. 3%. And it will likely alienate a relatively equal percentage... just like WoW's "competitive" PvP did.

World PvP ruins world PvP, an has in every MMO.

Quote: Because it ruins open world PVP. Actually it doesn't. What ruins World PvP is easy access to Instanced PvP. Warzones - Instanced PvP, easily accessed via the Queue Station, which can be used at any time at any location. Ilum - Instanced PvP, no matter how much you argue it isn't, requires relocation to the planet Ilum and a Flight Run to the PvP designated zone. Both of which offers rewards that World PvP doesn't. World PvP is already dead. Arena wouldn't change that. Just saying.
I healed, therefore i was... ...No, not a bucket of turkey. A healer.

Winning or loosing who cares aslong as u get ur medals. arenas in wow was a giant success, and i bet it kept 100's of thousands of people interested in the game. It also creates a separate community around it, people can upload theyr pvp movies from huttball as much as they want, but they dont mean anything at all. But a good arena movie ul see some skills and i bet it would get more people interested in the game aswell. really? that's cool. will i see skill if i watch a video with a glad in full glad gear in a battleground? will i see epic skills if i watch a glad in full glad carry someone to 1700? or will i see gear dominate. again i would support arena if you never found yourself saying on vent "don't feel bad they outgeared the sh** out of us and are clearly carrying that one member of their team".
Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody the power, the other to crave it.

"if i had my arena daggers i would have taken the last 5-10 percent of that guys health, and why am i facing ANOTHER sub 1700 team with their pvp weapons!?!?!?) LOL i remember making a post years ago asking to have equal gear but give it a pink flower dress skin or some flag that says noob on your back. anything to just pvp with equal levels of gear.
