People don't like arena due to how it imbalances...

However, why not make an 'arena' just another WZ?

Just have one of the WZ you can get into a death match- no bonus rewards for doing it- and hopefully with x-server pvp will come getting to choose your WZ.

Stop with Arenas. This is SWTOR, not WOW.

an 8v8 arena style warzone i would be fine with, but screw WoW style arena's....all it does is imbalance all the classes.

I wouldn't mind seeing a 4v4, honestly. I think I just like smaller PvP engagements, as each person feels more integral to the victory.

it just needs to be objective-less kill focus play style with less LOS to use and around a 4-6min timer. I think that would satiate a lot of the arena demand. But I still say no to 4v4 because it will be centered around a specific 4 classes that will dominate it and thus still cause unrest about balance issues. IMO all pvp balance in this game should stick to an 8v8 play model.

no thank you
don't want arenas or the attitudes (of some players) that come with them

Blah ..blah...blah
oh yeah what's your arena rating?
blah...blah...blah

not to mention the ridiculously false side economy created by selling ratings. Already going to get enough of that 1-2 months after rated wz's start

I was thinking they'd just be like skirmishes (much like the Arena skirmishes) that aren't worth anything valor/commendation-wise, just something to do for fun on the side.

I wouldn't imagine they'd try to balance for 4v4 when all of the rated play and WZs are 8v8 affairs, but stranger things have happened.

Wow *had* to try to balance for small-scale Arenas (lol2v2), because they placed all of the best rewards in Arena, and gave it ratings, and tried to make it into an e-sport, all before anyone stopped to consider that their game was still balanced for battlegrounds like Alterac Valley and Arathi Basin.
