Pvp arena?!!?

Just letting the big boys at SWTOR development know that when it comes down to PROFESSIONAL PvP, the most important system is the formal arena ladder. I hope in the future when there are a lot of level 50s. You will add this feature that will allow people to face off in arenas and win rewards based on ladder ranking.

I know it will be a challenge to balance the classes and all that stuff, but I feel this game has the potential to make it much more successful than other games like WoW.

If there already is plans for an arena or if it already exists, ignore this post.

Fresh idea. Kudos.

Look what professional gaming did to WoW. /thread

But to be more constructive, it's the kind of thing that might be supported by 5% of the player based and less than 1% of the PvP base. A ranking system is nice as the game develops, but it also detracts from the fun. It's nice to see who is the best for a total of about 5 minutes but then after that inflated egos kick in and then things tend to get worse before they get better.

If a ranking system was added a team ranking would be for the best. Then you can track individuals statistics from there.

Arenas are gaaaaaaaarbage and done to death.

Yes it is obviously supported by less people, because there are clearly less skilled and hardcore pvpers than there are casual battleground players.

A ranking system or arena matches do not detract from the fun. In fact I'm sure a lot of people find them more fun and more rewarding than battlegrounds style matches like the warzone because it involves just a few people and your friends and actually requires a much higher level of cognitive thinking and skill.

I have fun just thinking about the possibilities of different abilities and combinations and tactics that are involved to win a match.

Clearly the only people that would be against the integration of an arena system are the low ranking percentage of the population that cannot achieve this higher cognitive thinking and execution of skills.

Then class balancing revolves around arena and everything else is secondary. Last I checked, the story line aka PVE was the primary reason for the game and PVP is secondary.

which is why ima quit this game eventually !!!!!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you've got to be kidding, right? Yea I'm sure BW even begins to take this into consideration during development. Arena is trash and any serious form outside of novelty gameplay should die when WoW inevitably does.

I was also hoping to get an "in before anybody who disagrees with me must suck at arena"; but you beat me to it. Former glad/arena master here.....arena is still garbage.

I dont wanna be force to play a tree I don't like in order or succeed in pvp.oh and lmao wow arena professional hahahahaha

Arena would destroy the open pvp...

If they gonna do anything with rating it would be rr (like daoc) or make rating on hutball.
