So PvPers want a PvP version of maelstrom. Can PvErs have a PvE cyrodiil, without all those PvPers, just more adds?
Or you can just go and do PvE, and do what you don't want to to get the rewards for that, same thing, really. If you want maelstrom weapons, do it the way it's intended

these are called buffserveres every alliance got one (atleast on PC EU) so your wish is allready be granted.

And PvPers got the arena in the arena district in IC. So no need for a PvP maelstrom, you've already had your wish granted.

I wont. I don't care about arenas ad they sure as hell wont kill cyrodill They've been done to bits in other games and the typical problems with arenas never get resolved.

*When people start losing, they stop queuing.
* People abuse the system and create fake teams on the opposing side and queue up for thrown games just to get the loot, rating, whatever.
* People create one super team which discourages everyone from playing.
* If they create a solo queue, you get guys who queue sync constantly to get on the same team.
* People queue up at offpeak times when queues are dead and abuse the system that way.
* people queue to deliberately grief or troll others. They might go AFK, They might run in and die. They might quit as soon as they get in, etc, etc.
* Blatant class imbalance problems get highlighted and pretty soon everyone runs the exact same build.
* This list goes on and on.

If all these things don't get addressed, arenas will suck horribly. I'd still prefer they fix what they have. We all came here for cyrodill PvP until Zenimax broke it.

uh, the whole point was that a premade team of 4 could queue.

I Think that it is an interesting idea. It'd still require changes to current mechanics such as reintroduce soft caps etc per THIS thread

Try reading again without skimming. I listed off half a dozen problems with typical arenas "INCLUDING" the problem of super teams. How long do you think people are going to stick with arenas when their teams get beat by these super teams? In my experience, arenas are soul destroying. They have so many balance and gameplay issues that need to be taken into consideration. I have yet to see a single MMO that puts together a half decent arena system.
