That would be the /duel command, ladies and gentlemen. What arena players want is shiny gear for dueling, for doing something that has zero effect on the game whatsoever.
i want an arena.

and i dont care about lewt or gear or phat titles or silly efffing mounts.

i just want to play arena


so you are wrong.

also, duel is not a valid option.

please explain how i can duel a player of the opposite faction?

NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.

even if you get into a duel on ilum, people will just come over and interupt it.

DUELS ARE NOT AN OPTION.

arenas dont HAVE to be for gear.

stop assuming that everything done in this game HAS to mirror wow.

failures.

I agree, make it to where you don't get gear. Only for bragging rights. And or a title or something. And a 1v1 arena would also be fun. What he said ^^

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

Carebears like arena's. They like to be in control with all of their cooldowns up in a controlled environment where the unexpected cannot happen. This is an MMO. For those of you that don't know what that means, i'll go ahead and type it out for you. Massive Multiplayer Online. There is nothing Massive about 2v2 3v3 or even 4v4 fights. The pvp community is already thin enough in a PVE game. We don't need to thin it out anymore.

And I got 2.1k rating in WoW as an Enhancement Shaman back in WotLK. But it was always an uphill battle because fotm comps and class imbalances that never got fixed. World of Roguecraft or World of Magecraft anyone? SWTOR doesn't need this. They need Illum objectives on EVERY planet in the game. And they need to promote World pvp. They need more maps and a few more game styles for WZ's and all of their pvp attention should be focused on those things right there and the pvp in this game could be legendary.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

May I point you to a nice little spot I like to call Outlaw's Den?

PvP free-for-all zone. Shoot em up. Not only can you kill the other side, you can even shoot your own faction up for good measure- so you can fight ANYONE and kill them.

What's worse is, you can actually TALK to the other faction in SWTOR. So no excuses on arranging someplace to go duel! There's about six zillion empty spots both factions can fight in, and Outlaw's Den even lets you kill your own faction for good measure, should someone be a pain in the rear and interrupt you can BOTH turn around and blast his head off! Med centers nice and close- as in right there in the Den.

There's your arena-without-gear-or-ratings. Go pwn some noobs. You're right, WoW Arena is fail and Bioware put a no-holds-barred arena for fights right there, ready for all the dueling you can handle, against anyone, either faction, any time.

Everyone knows the people against arenas are the ones that are bad, they prefer anonymiously zerging in Warzones where they can blame the other randoms for a loose.

Arenas mercilessly reveal the lacking skill of a player, something which is a horrible thought for gamers that overestimate themselfes, which makes up the main chunk of the players.
