Was in another thread and had an idea!

SUGGESTION: Perhaps to appease both types of players (and add new content to the game) zos should implement a Survival arena type mode where you enter and are ambushed from all directions exp could be balanced to be about equal to whatever progression rate zos likes and they could stick a leader board on it where the top ranked hourly players get set greens, top daily players get set blues, top weekly players get set purples and top monthly players get set legendaries....or maybe instead of changing color since you can upgrade your own items maybe the harder leaderboards award slightly better versions of the set pieces....heck forget the item awards all together award ASAP (arena survival activity points, cause AP and SP were taken lol). These points can be traded in just like AP for awards. Make it so that players can change the difficulty from skeever to daedric prince.

I think this type of addition would provide for grinders, allow zos to easily balance grinding, add another carrot (the leader board) and add much needed content to the game. While having zero impact on the current game .... For lore, perhaps the dunmer have become sick of the other races and have decided to allow them to fight to the death (like roman society with their slave fighters in the colleseum). Additionally dumner fugitives could also be fed to the arena.

How would you enter the arena? Commit crime in the justice system, once your bounty reach a certain point you could arrange with a fence to turn yourself in to authorities. In exchange you agree to do an arena (entertaining mer society and likely dieing) which then reduces your bounty by a certain amount. Additionally those who seek glory could also enter the arena...for rewards if they survives (and glory)...in fact how about we change ASAP....to GP (Glory Points). You could only trade in GP if you had paid your criminal debt (do not have a bounty).
