That's why some are saying ZoS can use the arena as a "lab" to see with there own characters eyes what exactly needs fixed in a control battle after they recive a report. Say Mr. X used this exploit to kill Mr. Z but does not have proof or a screen shot of the battle with arena they can try to replicate the out come and take proper actions of getting rid of the exploit. Cause I'm sure they can get better results if they slow down the problem and take closer looks at them.1 -

✭✭Question though.... Would any one object of using dragon star as the arena if ZoS adds one so it can be used by every one instead of buying the Imperial City when it drops cause the imperial city is the only place I know that had a arena except Kavatch but I haven't discovered it yet in Cryodiil which makes me believe it hasn't even been built yet. So yay or nay on DSA being turned into a pvp arena too... Would also kinda force Craglorn to become a cross faction area ;3 for those who been wanting one.0 -
Blazzin-Ace✭✭ZoS this is more than a request this is a need for this game. I love the pvp but like most I left the game due to the repetitiveness of taking the same keeps over and over the zergs and the major lag only to return for 1.6 to experience the same lag and unkilliable players(due to extreme lag) in zergs and server crashes.. An Arena would fix all of that it would give many pvp players an outlet from the norm. An Arena would alleviate the major traffic lag and zerg balls that currently exist.
Arena pvp would not kill Cyrodiil if thats the only way players can earn AP and most importantly I've been a 1v1 tournament player for a long time and most of the pvp community does not participate in the few 1v1 guilds that exist so the idea that by implementing an Area you would lose most of the Cyrodiil population is simply not true.
Adding an Area would only add to pvp and make this game one of the best pvp experiences around due to 1v1, 2v2, etc and a lot less lag in Cyrodiil it's a win win for everybody.4 -

AP Is not just a reward you get for killing other players. It's Alliance Points that you get for contributing to your alliance. There could be other rewards or something like that, but if the intent is for it to be alliance based, then that's just something you can't get without making that contribution.
And as far as your example, that's not the way that the Alliance war has been portrayed. They can do whatever they want, but it seems like there is a push to make everything in the game available even if people don't want to play by the constraints in that particular arena. If there is an implementation of content made towards a particular playing style, then there should be comparable rewards for doing those things. But to suborn the intent of content and rewards just to accommodate a different play style is going to make balancing of the effort and contributions made in those areas prone to failure.Quasim ibn-Muhammad - VR 12 Redguard Dragon Knight

Then they should give us AP for killing enemy guards and other NPC personnel. But of course ZoS won't do that, because they have these VERY rigid and narrow ideas about what players should be doing in Cyrodiil, which is why they'll probably never implement 1v1 dueling until Zenimax is about to go bankrupt or something.

✭Request not to ruin the conflict in Cyrodiil with a side PvP system. 2 leaderboards? 2 types of Pvp gear and skills?
Keep to the current plan to evolve Cyro, add more flavor and option for warfare and release Imperial City!
The only arena that would be acceptable would be a bar fight type match. 1v1 with players able to watch. The rewards are fame. Nothing else. No link to the current system.

I will love to be part of the arena and place bets, to see who won or not? heck I want this to be true, I remember when in oblivion I always place bets and participate, this could bring so much richness to the game and make it more alive, and have more options to participate with other guild members and against other guild.
This is a must have.
Ideas:
Having 1vs1 up to 10vs10
Placing bets as a guild against others guilds by representing our guild members.
Let's say both guilds are ready to place the bets against one another by favoring his guild member, and watch the battle. After battle is over, who ever wins, can earn reputation has a arena contender, that reputation points can get to the player (the participant) an amount of points depending the amount of bet that has being present it, and that points that the participant won is more points for the alliance.Who ever loose, well it wont get nothing.
Participate in arena as a solo player
This option can be given as another side story within the Arena. (no matter if you are vet rank or no vet rank)
Side quest Arena - Veteran Rank
In here you can be a contender and earn achievements by taking down the arena champions (npc's). Make this challenging and with a lot of champions to take down. And earn the title/achievement as a "Arena Champion", only players that are level Veteran Rank can participate, from veteran rank 1 going up.
Besides the story as a vet rank player, we can also choose what we want to fight and how many enemies, depending the enemies, the more coins and points we earn.
Side quest Arena - Non Veteran Rank
Now, players that are not veteran ranks can participate too in this arena side quest but will not fight any champions until the player is a veteran rank. So any player that is not veteran yet, can still fight npcs and monsters of tamriel or other npcs, including pvp at their same level.
Guild Call Outs
This can be made as an in game option to call out any guild members in game, when doing so, there will be a message that will be appearing to the guild. So a guild battle can be made by gamers in game.
Social competitions (by month)
This option can be given to every body in every level and every guild in every level as well. Now how can this work? Easy place a forum competition monthly that can be called....
"The Arena Social competition for VR players" (or something like that)
This could be choose as groups:
Group 1: Name vs Name
Group 2: Name vs Name
(Depending if any particular competition of that month is divided by groups on how many players you guys can choose)
Here any VR player can write the word "signed" in the forum event page, and everyone has 24 hrs to "sign" then a random moderator will close the threat writing the players name that they choose. (the name of the account they are using). Then every player in tamriel can go to that arena to place bets against each player that is going to fight.
And also, it could be nice to have a armor for that pvp arena competition, that you have can only win it by the most kills, and it can be implemented as the same like the emperor armor. (but with another armor that goes with the theme of the arena)
"The Arena Social competition for Guild members"
Here will be the same but the difference will be, each guild will have to prepare in advance and this competition will be announce the end of each month, so the other month (with date) can be the arena guild fight. Also each guild that wins many battles against other guild members can win as a guild a arena armors set.
Obvious that any guild can participate, and how it will be, easy as well.. but in addition to this so it can be well organized.
Make a threat that allows those guild members to send a invitation to his guild master so that guild master can accept it by sending the "accept invitation" to ESO and by choosing how many guild members has accept it the invitation, from there it will start the arena competition for guild members. Or a message to everyone (in case they do not visit)
Note: For those who do not visit the forum much, it will be nice to see a prompt message in the game that tells us that a guild arena fight will take place in a amount of time/hours, so everyone can go and make their bets if they want to.
P.s. This could give a huge boost to the side part for the social environment with every single player across the world!.1 -

In theory, I would love an arena. In practice, it's another piece for ZoS to balance. PvE vs. 1v1 vs. 4v4 vs. ZvZ.
"A group of 4 (class 1) beat my group of 4 (class 2). Nerf (class 1) now !". Class 1 may be perfectly balanced for PvE, 1v1 and ZvZ but now all those pieces will need to be changed for the sake of 4v4. Get Cyrodiil to a good place first, then start considering adding another component to balance.
On the other hand, the PvP forums would become more of a whining, self-congratulatory, circle-jerk than it already is and who doesn't want to see that?0 -

I know some players whine about anything but would make for a nice comedic reading material though. But all in all the programers at ZoS said how they mainly test bugs now is with bots so I don't how having a arena a closed off space would hurt bug fixing when they can have a controled area to test and re-create said bugs.0 -

PVE (solo)
bosses and group content: scaled difficulty from 1 to X and ranking dashboard
PVP 1v1
once ranked, the pve winners may fight with players of the same rank : the winner will acquire a pvp rank that enable to partecipate at group battle and at the ultimate carnage
PVP 4v4: small group fight. the winner group will have access at the rampage
PVP RAMPAGE: all versus all (12 v 12): the ultimate fighting championship: only one survive.
GAMBLING: there will be an audiences place, with the possibility of gambling, another game in agame
ranking, rewards and experience point will be the foundation of the gladiators arena system:
something like: the ultimate champion could be require by the best blacksmith of tamriel a yellow set he like, ....
