Why are so many people against Arena in Swtor?

arenas is close envyronment , everyone have all cds up , is all about how you use them , in warzone is not like that! you are just trying to hide behind something that doesnt make you seem bad and make you feel bad for it.

in WZ you can say 100000 excuses for why you fail without even think " was my fault" , in arena you cant do that , thats why no1 like arenas.

in warzone you can be a tank , you can not even have spells on bars , you carry the ball from the place to the base and you are good , in arena you need something more than that to be good , is different things , and cant be compared.

i think arena is good as the players who play it!

now in this thread i see 90% of the people saying arena is a bad thing dont put that ingame , if it comes i ll see that 90% crying here for nerfs , thats the problem of arenas =D

If you want us to take PVP seriously we will need ARENAS.
I dont care about WoW having Arenas or any other game, we as PVPers need them.
One thing is true, they need to fix the current PVP adn the ability delay first.

Because they come from WoW, and in WoW there was a very widespread - but very mistaken - perception that every single change to class mechanics and numbers was due solely to PvP.

"Stop nerfing my PvE because of Arena!" was a very, very common cry from people. They usually ignored the fact that most changes were due to PvE concerns as well.

The Warrior Shield Slam damage nerf was a good example. The PvE community whined and whined that their PvE was being nerfed because of PvP, even though Blizzard very clearly stated that they wanted to spread out Prot Warrior damage across their other abilities rather than having 80% of Prot Warrior damage in PvE come from one button.

It's funny, because in general PvP balance and fixes were practically ignored by Blizzard. Legendary quality PvE items in PvP, Arena maps that STILL had serious terrain bugs (Feared into the wall again, yay...) and other issues that just never got addressed.

So now we have these people in SWTOR, and they're just petrified of the idea of any sort of organized, competitive PvP because they still think that their PvE DPS/Healing/etc will get nerfed into the ground if anything happens in PvP.

Lets do an experiment OP...


answer me this, would you still participate, and consider them as fun as you do, if arenas gave ZERO REWARDS

zero valor, zero comendations...just bragging rights....

would you still want them implemented?

im guessing no..

to be fair, arenas changed not only the entire pvp game, but they also changed the entire development focus to cater to the arena junkies, THIS is why a lot of us dont want this travesty of pvpinabox implemented or even uttered by the developers here, heck even blizzard admits its one of the biggest development mistakes they ever did and the main reason they had to dumb down the talents and game so much afterwards

the thing is , i dont care about you guys that take pvp seriously , after all you dont care about the pve crowd that might get boned to accomodate for your lolarena balance so why should i care about your pvp?


regardless of what you may think, you ARE the minority on this
