There's already tons of group content, this arena is for us loners with no friends. I say leave it alone so I can have something to do other than pvp

Let's face, a solo arena in an MMO with lack of end game content that hasn't already been done a hundred times shouldn't be a thing.

Majority of people I know absolutely HATE the arena just for the simple fact that it takes away from their ability to play with their friends/guildmates. Now I know people will say, "Well they don't have to do the arena." This may be true... but let's face it... if you want a chance a gold weekly rewards and Maelstrom weapons you are going to run the content. This is especially true for those players who would like to min/max their builds. Sure maybe a percent of a percent of players enjoy the arena as it is now... but the majority do not for various reason I.E. Too Hard, Mechanics Buggy, Too Long... etc.

What made Dragonstar Arena great was the fact you had a group of people you could go in with (friends/guildmates/pugs even) and do it while having a good time and for some of the more serious gamers actively competing for a score. It kept the content going long after it was released. Even now people still run it, though not to the degree it was before.

Now if @zos would make this a duo arena, it would alleviate some of the issues it had for many player to do the content and invite others to do it more. It would bring back the competitiveness in players as they would want themselves and their friends to be at the top.

If they made it a duo arena it would most likely be okay if ZOS added more mobs, more mechanics, or just generally made it harder. The burden would be shared between 2 players and the content wouldn't feel so isolated. I know personally I run it for the weapons and loot... and it's complete buzz kill for me just because I might be sitting in a TS listening to other people doing other content and having a much better time or looking guild chat and seeing the same thing.

What do you guys think? Should Maelstrom Arena be made to be a 2 person arena (with add mechs/mobs/increased difficulty) or should it remain solo content?

People that cry over malestrom are people that can't complete it. Doesn't need changing and doesn't need someone else to hold your hand all the way through it. It's 1.5hrs per week is all that's required for top end stuff. 2 man regular dsa. Can be done. It's challenging and no need for crying. Footman set still sells stupidly well and master weapons are great for the final grinds of new toons. Job done.

TBH I quite like Maelstrom, it needs some tuning but it's overall really challenging and well done.

A duo arena would be good but with the current meta the leaderboards will be dominated by Sorc\Sorc teamS shield stacking and overload spamming... Unless you put archers with shieldbreaker in the arena lol.

A three man arena with really hard hitting bosses that require some kind of tank, phases that need heals and some group DPS check would be a better solution. Add some mechanics here and there and it will be really fun without forcing people to "respec DPS".
