I see people duelling all the time on the cyrodiil map, so I can´t see the need for it.
As they already have a 3v3v3 designed, why not add it into the game? Because this won´t be the end of the line - as soon as it´s implemented forum whiners will start threads like "nerf X, buff Y" like we already have for other topic. Then people will argue even more PvP screws PvE screws 3v3v3....
This game is wildly imbalanced and gets away with a lot of it through the fact that its large scale pvp. You think the game is imbalanced now, it will only be worse when its put under the microscope of small group play such as arenas/battlegrounds.
Another wildly popular MMO made the same move some years ago with the addition of arenas and the lead developer said he regretted their implementation. His words were wildly taken out of context but he was basically talking about how the expectations of a balanced arena put the game under excess scrutiny from a portion of its player base and that they could never deliver on true balance. I am saying this as a player who achieve 2700 in those same arenas but even I understood the game wasn't built around them and it was wildly frustrating at times.
That said, the way this game is designed it would be even worse than that transition. I think it would only be a detriment to this game if they added them.
Having done organized pvp 1v1, 2v2, etc for the past year in this game. I can assure you it isn't as bad as you make it out to be.

Thats caus you use ever broken and unbalanced thing there is *cough nirnhoned bug* ....
It will be a nightmare for them to implement arenas / battlegrounds, not only for balance, but how they let players enter a queue ... do they allow premade? random? premade vs random? what XvX would be best? 3v3? 4v4? one of each class per grp? do people want to face 3 or 4 shield stacking sorcs teleporting all over the arena? or perhaps 3 or 4 blinxey type sorcs that take no dmg? 4 NBs spamming focused aim ? 4 Dks spamming petrify + WB? 4 templars spamming jabs?
I'm not against arenas, don't get me wrong, but for them to implement it perfectly, caus face it, if its done wrong and people find the most broken and cheezy setup to faceroll every match, it's going to be a nightmare and the queue will be empty, and ur "precious" arenas will have failed.
also stop making a billion threads about this, i'm sure they've read them all, while you don't get a response, it's not going to help your cause by spamming arena / battleground threads (neither will crappy videos).
Sypher,
Great video, but uh bro...they aren't going to do jack until the console crap is done and released (in June). Your best hope for any of this (outside of some miraculous lag fix) are about slim and none till like next year. IF that.
I wouldn't mind some arena or battleground stuff, but they can't even get what they have to run right. Just like everyone else on these forums, I think your dreaming of a game that will never come.
Thank you for talking for "everyone" but what you just said doesn't quite resume what's been said so far. I suggest that you read again what people discussed in the current thread.

What's there to discuss? What's there to "resume"? ZoS has done nothing over the last year that's new for PvP. Unless you wanna call coldharbor siege new. I can use your wording from one of your posts and say "the majority of players". Dude seriously, it's a figure of speech... relax Francis.
Anything new will have to be designed, coded, released to PTS, then probably rushed out with glaring bugs just like everything else they've done so far. That to me seems like months and months of time before any kind of BG or Arena will come out. Heck, they can't even get Imperial city out!!! lol. Let alone the spellcrafting that got everyone hot and bothered.
But the lag needs to be dealt with first.In the place where we all go for PvP... now. Trying to get ZoS to add content by putting up a silly song and flashing words is NOT going to make it happen. They lock petitions, delete comments, remove lines from our posts...I'm really surprised this thread isn't locked yet for trolling ZoS.
Plenty of other games out there that have it. All I'm saying is, it's going to be a very VERY long time before this one does..if it even lasts that long. I can go either way on the subject. I just think your all smoking something if you think ZoS will make any new PvP content a priority.

Maybe you should behave more professionally and with respect given you're the "head of pvp department" in "one of the top pvp guilds" that is "invited to the zenimax dev panel", caus right now i've never heard of you, or your guild, and that all doesn't make me respect you or regard your opinion as sush to be respected, nor does it make me respect your guild or the position your guild is in.
crappy replies? look at ALL the threads made on this subject, not a SINGLE official reply regarding the matter has been given, that tells me enough, and making more threads with "petitions" and "votes" and "this thread voted for arenas, we demand them" isn't going to make them implement it.

My bad behaviour and overall respect towards other peoples interests? Did you even read my post? I'm NOT against arenas or battlegrounds, it's just the matter of balancing AND implementing everything.
It's easy to demand content that you desire, but people don't stand still and think of potential issues that may bring, nor do they even consider if it's going to solve the performance issues. Who's to say that with the current implementation and format of coding the arenas won't lag? I'd be surprised if 5 people in this entire thread thought about that.
My bad behaviour towards Sypher? Not going to touch this subject in this thread, and why do you feel inclined to protect him?
He streams, great, alot of ppl follow him great, does he show respect towards me? No. Do i care? Not in the slightest, but respect goes both ways buddy.

I don't have to respect people who send hate tells after getting merked.
This reminds me of back in Bloodthorn when a certain guild was throwing their dueling in everyones faces, then getting extremely disrespectful if you didn't play along. It's their game, you're just a player in it apparently.
