Arena is too lore friendly to not have.

We absolutely need an Arena, a dueling system, or preferably both.

If they don't add some form of small scale PvP, I'll have a real decision to make when it comes to renewing my sub after my 3 months are up.

I'm not saying I will rage quit because they're not doing what I tell them or anything. Its simply that I enjoy skill based PvP. Right now, its very hard to come by in this game.

If I don't get it, I might lose interest.

This guy nailed it, but I do love the game so even if I go to wildstar or even back to swtor for Arena when my sub ends, I'd resub in a second if they announced the addition of Arenas.

Arena pvp will happen. Dueling will happen. Not many MMO's these days (if any) launch with working arena and or dueling. Just give it time and everything will fall into place.
This, like every other MMO is a work in progress, and the development of any MMO is based partially on feedback and necessity.
With this in mind we need to take greater care with these threads as every erroneous rant and nerf request can have an adverse effect on this games future.
So the next time you feel the need to post out of frustration for a particular game mechanic, please take the time to think of the bigger picture.

Arena should be added to the game because it plays such a huge role in the history of Elder Scrolls.

Really? Where? The only arena I can remember is in Oblivion.Anyway, a PvE arena would be fine. If you want a willy waving contest play WoW.

in morrowind Vivec had an arena (you couldnt use it saddly) Oblivion cyrodiil had 2 arena's (story wise it tells you where the second was) and skyrim didn't believe in actual arena's as nords don't fight for money they fight for other reasons

Skyrim actually had an arena, complete with NPCs, programmed in to be in Windhelm known as "The Pit" which did not make it into the final game.
Remnants of the area and the NPCs can apparently be accessed via console commands on the PC version.

The games background is more Arena friendly then I thought, good tid bits of info up there.

The Dragonstar Arena has nothing to do with the Imperial City PvP dungeon mentioned

I never claimed it was. This is what I said - "A PvE arena is already planned, along with a PvP dungeon."

.You just took out the large list of features that placed in between those two, which makes it look like they're related. They are not.

I shortened the list of features for brevity. I also provided a link to the article so other posters could view it in full.

I was responding to their comments.

IF ANY pvp that is not inside cyrodiil gets added...cyrodiil will die. Therefore, any PVP "minigame" that gets added, should be within cyrodiil and open world.

False, all the people who don't like Arena ( judging by this forum there are quite a few of ya) will still be zerging each other in cryodill don't worry.

Edit: Also IF Arena did kill the world pvp then that would only prove that arena is the more popular choice and is the better pvp experience.

Frankly that's an absurd claim. What about the people who are just staying out of Cyrodiil all together right now? Or the ones who aren't playing the game because there is no small scale skill based PvP?

Adding these fundamental features would only draw in more players. Heck, you'd probably see an increase in Cyrodiil pops because more PvPers would actually give this game a chance.

Too true.
