Why are so many people against Arena in Swtor?

Arena would be ten fold better than that trade killing crap which is illum.

NO ONE IS ASKING FOR WOWS EXACT SAME ARENA SYSTEM- quit hiding the fact you are bad behind that. WE ARE ASKING FOR COSMETIC ONLY REWARDS for our time

IF GEAR IS GIVEN MAKE IT EQUAL TO RATED WZ GEAR that is all sick of the same weak excuse over and over when there are countless posts pro arena sking for it with a different system...

Why don't I want arenas?
Because it even further kills world PvP.

Exactly. My guess is that wouldn't provide enough false sense of worth for most players, or at least the ones arguing here.

Arena killed balancing for pve and pvp for wow. Only kind of arena I purpose is a fun no rating ladder system. No rewards nothing. Just for fun and bragging rights.

Also if Swtor put in a arena system into this game this pvp forum will crash over the amount of QQ. QQ from the scrubs to the elities.....QQ about gear inbalance in it....QQ over class comps which will then turn them into nerfs on classes cause they aren't OP by themselves but they are OP with X and X class so they must need a nerf.

Arena pvp is the worst form of pvp for a MMO cause of the time it takes to balance classes for it and pve. Hey X class is OP in arena they need nerf.....after nerf X class is completely useless in PVE lets not bring them into operations. So many people don't understand what arena did to wow pvp/pve. Even blizzard regretted arena.

Now I do love arena pvp but at the cost of making this game a shell no thanks.

because theres no extra grind as it is? No ones asking for "special" gear just another option to obtain existing gear. I think the problem is Empire does not want to face Republic on an even numbered playing field. You are quite content to be the kings of zerg.

My personal wish is arena with class specific gear (the same for every player) with nothing but titles. Or are you opposed to that as well? Or is outnumbering your opponent 5 to 1 as well as outgearing him your definition of good pvp?

I will agree for arena type pvp only if it does not benefit players in any way beyond having fun fighting
no valor no commendations no gear
also in swtor theres no 2 shoting like in lol wow and with the broken interrupt and high ammount of heals (and healers ccs/defensive cds) games will last hour or so

If Arena's where made in SWTOR a lot of people would have to play said Arena's and come to the realization that they are bad. This is why they don't want arena's.

I find this very interesting what the outcome will be , will they be implemented or not.

What will the outcome be from whatever choice they make , yes it is a exciting time <3.

This is the funniest ever! I love you.
