Please no! BR's are not for Tamriel, period.

the way templars are right now in pvp? no thx.

They would all end the same way. Two perma block tanks staring at each other.

No, we dont need this, ever. This game is based on the trinity, healer, tank, dd, we do not need something that will actively exclude playstyles.

Not even a remotely new idea.

And also: No.

Simply saying no isn’t really giving a reason why not. What’s the harm?

The only harm I can think of is opportunity cost. If they are dedicating resources and time to implement this game mode, what are they sacrificing to do so?

Please NO if you want a Arena game pls play WoW, Rift, SWTOR, GW2 or Wildstar. Arena always destroy the balance in a game, cause the balance goes to the Arena and not the large Scale battle in Cyrodiil.

- was one of the opinions.

I would hate to see ESO go the way of warhammer, I figure if they add arena's, and the pvp died off in cryodiil, then I guess it would be time for me to find another game, I don't understand I can find all kinds of pvp in cryodill ...

- another one.

As was said (over, and over again), it's a high chance that the introduction of arena-based PvP will have an adverse effect on the game as a whole.

- and yet another one.

There are other games with arena PvP. No Arenas Please, refine Cyrodiil and keep large scale PvP the focus of ESO.

- one more.

Since this game and its pvp was announced, it has always been AvA style pvp. Never has arena been mentioned. Everyone knew what they were getting into when they bought the game. If you want to play an arena based pvp game, there are plenty of them out there. Don't try and force your desires on a system that has been implemented since the game's very concept. Some of us like it exactly how it is, and want it to stay that way.

- yet one more.

And so on and on and on.. 6 years passed since that discussion, but I don't see anyone here today claiming to destroy the Battlegrounds as a PvP mode as a whole. Those guys who wrote those posts have already left the forums. Today we have lots of complaints about the Battlegrounds stability but none of them about removing it entirely. Those who do not like it, do not play it. It's fair. If the game would have become worse with the Battlegrounds, nobody would have played it today. But the game became much better and more popular, it's obvious. Is there really none of you who remembers those times or have simply changed their accounts here in the recent years thus starting their forums activity from the beginning? Some of you might be short on memory. So who was right 6 years ago, eh?

OP, don't listen to them. I've proposed a Naval PvP mode recently - the reaction was the same. The poll results showed the majority of us do not wish to play it whatever way the devs make it. I respect that decision. But as I've said it earlier, I'm just a customer who does not have to understand what it takes to make a product as well as my customers IRL need qualitative results only. I give an idea of what I want to pay for, the devs are to think about it, to decide if they are ready to make it, to test its stability and usability and tell me the price. If the product does not meet my requirements, becomes unstable, whatever unsuitable, I just stop investing in it and using it without any feedback. There is no socialism here and it's not freeware to participate in it's development in order to use the fruits of communal labor. No honey - no money. I just play the rules. What I do is only saying what taste of honey I want and it is irrelevant to me if the beekeeper has some troubles making it - there's a beekeeper to take that challenge. If he makes it - good. Otherwise I'll continue buying the honey he's been producing (if it suits me) without any additional investment he could receive. The quality of the basic honey itself is my own business with the beekeeper only, but I'd like to discuss it's possible tastes with other honey eaters. If the majority wants to eat classical honey, I'll be with them of course, because I pay for it too. The beekeeper also will not waste his time to make an unwanted product. Otherwise he'll see if he can take the challenge and earn extra money. It's simple. This is why I see no reason to discuss and quarrel with any of the fellow players regarding the game stability, balance, whatever technical issues. Some of us give new ideas, the other vote and propose their own thoughts on how should it all be. No need to quarrel and to be rude towards each other because of those gameplay modes.
