ARENAS/Death match....NOW

Missed the part where I should care. Arenas only made WoW bigger, regardless of what Blizzard believes. It's still a huge part of the game today. All the WoW live streams are arena. WoW wouldn't have a PvP community at all without it. It wouldn't have a live stream community without it. Blizzard's "mistake" added one of the single most integral parts of their game. I'll take that kind of "mistake" any day.

Attention everyone using the Blizzard Arena was a mistake argument:

WoW was not designed ground up for PvP at all, it was a later addition. On the other hand, SWTOR had PVP and PVE balance in mind from the start.

For justice.

And SWTOR botched that by following the WoW model instead of taking ideas from less popular games with better PvP mechanics (GW, DAOC, Wizard101, EVE,HelloKittyOnline)

I hear what you are saying however, arena was the only thing in wow that kept me in place for a long time. You are beginning to see it with this game, with the content pretty much climaxing and no one able to do anything the game no longer appeals to many people. You can only roll so many alts before you feel like you want to quit. I for one have never been an alt roller, I typically stick with one character. I was like that in wow also. I played a warlock for a good part of 6 years. I did not only do arena, I raided for trinkets, I bg'd constantly and I set up raids to go after other factions cities. If you take away arena though from anything I just posted, I would of left in 2 years instead of 6.

There is more to arenas then just death match. It builds a stronger community...yes it filters out bads and creates emo qq's on the forums...but look at these forums now, its identical to that anyway, so it really can't be worse then this. The players who do well in arenas build a community in which they personally form. It creates greater competition, you get your 5 minutes of internet fame, which for as many people who bash it, it's pretty cool. Just because it is an MMO it doesnt take away from the fact that if you are talented at what you are doing, you like to be acknowledged for it. I for one loved being the best lock on my server, and I have made that reputation on this game as the operative. There are really only so many wz's you can do though without losing interest.

Arena will make this game last longer. Garunteed

My favorite part of this thread is knowing who the 1500 heroes are after 25 words.

WOW Arena was POPULAR with the only people I care about....GOOD PVPers.

I could care less about the rest of you because we won't be playing each other.

That said BW does care about you and your money. You are paying for a service and you want it to be worth the money and time you invest.

That said I am yet to hear of 1 SINGLE good PVPer complain about putting an ARENA system in place in this game. How do I know that, I refer you to my first statement. I can smell FAIL a mile away.

Because you are BAD at it and don't won't to be picked on IN GAME is not a reason.

Care to explain then what are you doing here and not doing arenas in WoW?

PANDAS man PANDAS!

plus here I get a lightsaber!

Because that game just isn't what it used to be. Arena's are not the reason for that...its the customer who wants everything handed to them easy mode.

oh wait, kinda like this game.

Except at least in this game, there won't be pandas (yet anyway)



The whole MMO mentality these days about instant gratification is nuts, go play a console game if you expect to have the best gear in 5 hours.

I just don't understand it. WoW was ruined by carebears....which is why most of us are here, hoping it won't suffer the same fate, but unfortunately it is.

^Wow was ruined because Blizzard listened to the whines of pretentious brats in the forums.The same thing is happening here.Some kids with large epeen because they were carried by their comp or class(spec) want arena here too.As well as other things that are not part of this topic.



There you go,i was a good pvper in WoW and don't want arena system in this game.
