Kulrig i think he was making fun of Cogo for using that as a reason to not have one1 -

Yes, to be fair there was a lot of implying and inference on both ends.

Custos91✭✭✭Actually I am putting in feedback once a week that I don't want to see arena in the game, and if, oblivion style against mobs, and if they still make pvp arenas, only comparable reward to cyrodill.Warden Main apparently... 7 Wardens currently, otherwise a healer of every class.
Mostly active in No CP PVP on EU, blaming the buffbot meta in pve.
I want to feel like I am saving somebodies life, not like I am carrying amunition for them...0 -
Kulrig✭✭✭Well now, since that's all cleared up;
I've been doing a bit more thinking on the whole Arena thing. Basically, I like the idea of another method of PvP but it would also make sense to have a PvE side to it as well. For example, a series of bouts against NPCs with increasingly advanced AIs to fight with and against on your road to Champion. These would also have to have similar power to players in order to provide a proper learning environment for the PvP side of things.
Along with this, a new skill line since all the cool organizations have one. It would level up by completing bouts, either against players or NPCs, and offer tools that help against humanoids and beasts like how the Fighters Guild offers benefits against undead and daedra.
I guess what I envision is something similar to Oblivion's Arena with the option to fight other players, and since this is ESO tack on a skill line and allow for group vs group bouts. As far as rewards, given that all gear allowed in a bout would be handed out for use only in that bout it makes sense that things other than gear are rewarded. Things like costumes, titles, and a leaderboard allowing for bragging rights and targets to set one's sights on. At least, that's my vision.1 -
BelgerogSoul ShrivenI didn't read all Posts before.. but i Hope that there will never come any Kind of "stupid" Arena Pvp. I hope they bring more and more open PvP Adventure Zones. Also i hope they will bring Duells with other players to the Game. Just Duelling with Guildmates without any Kind of Reward for it.
Arenas are ruining real PvP.

Yes! Exactly!!! Would be so amazing xD0 -
cjmarsh725b14_ESO✭✭✭✭The problem with structured arena pvp is that it highlights even the smallest imbalances in player classes and the drastic balancing issues the game still has to address would be highlighted even more. I imagine they want to slowly work out the kinks in their current class structures like they mentioned in the June article and then release other small-scale pvp additions.0

Keoregh✭No No No. We don't need arena.
This is the first game that propose massive PvP since DAoC with a decent graphic motor allowing us to fight 100vs100 (and without lags since last patch, finally).
Sure the game need some polishing, but who don't after only 2 months out ?
DAoC sure needed it too.
If you want arena, go to the *** MMO since WoW, they all have, they all go F2P, they're all useless (to me).1 -

I like the idea of an "arena". I do hate the idea of a WoW arena, with elo ratings and matchmaking and all that ***. Arena points.. yuck.
It would be really sick to see a real-time arena though. Each campaign has maybe 1-3 arenas, people que up for it and are matched, taking turns in the same arena. Others could spectate, bet, etc. I dont think it'd detract from the AvA population either, because you'd have a limited number of players fighting in the arena. In fact it might draw more players into cyrodiil, and populate the AvA fights with players waiting for arena matches.1
