Pretty much. Arenas = fastest way to expose unbalance among classes = BW does not want those headaches.

No, you don't understand. The fact that your every whim and fancy is not instantly gratified must be a new experience for you. Bioware have other issues and content to work on. This happens to be something that they have decided is not important enough to force the devs to work overtime on. Sorry for p!ssing on your cornflakes with this bad news.

You can't really give me any good reason for no arenas and deathmatch other than "I don't like it". Sorry, that's not gonna cut it.

( Blizzard's VP of Game Design, Rob Pardo) goes on to say that if he had the choice, he'd either go back to WoW's beginnings and change the fundamentals of class balance, or, barring that, would nix the decision to add Arenas during the development of the Burning Crusade expansion.
Good enough reason for you? Arenas benefit only Arenas at the cost of the rest of the game.

DAOC?Don't make me laugh...

Have you played WoW arena for 6 years?


''Even if they did implement arenas, no one if forcing the nay sayers to play them. If you don't like arenas then simply avoid them.''

This statement is invalid because the best looking and pvp gear usually comes from arena.You are FORCED to play it.

Yes, I would love a pvp area that is free for all. 50 or 100 players...everyone fighting each other...it's too bad the open pvp zones aren't popular....If I find one person in the smugglers den I'm lucky. (Smugglers Den on Tatooine could be considered a death match area, if anyone ever went there)

So... don't add the best PvP gear to arenas in this game? This game isn't WoW. It isn't DAOC either. This game, and DAOC, AND WoW, all have an equal amount of forum QQ. In fact, you yourself are QQing on the forums about PvP. You're whining on the forums about whining on the forums. Forum QQ and balance QQ will always exist in mass amounts. Arenas will neither add to nor detract from that. It'll just give us something else to do.

Hell yeah; I want this.
Almost nobody has been able to make a good "open pvp" mmo since DAOC (with its RvR System - 3 factions, mass cc (30sec +)). So IŽd rather have BW invest in making good Deathmatch warzones (arenas)

Anyone who uses experience in WoW PvP as a qualifier for knowing anything about functional PvP mechanics needs to be laughed at and then ignored...
PvP Gear progression degrades competition.
