IMO arena is good for the people who want to challenge themselves against other players and theres no reason why swtor cant cater to the hardcore pvpers. the only points i have issues with is you shouldnt be able to get so much better gear than everyone else cos your rated higher/more skilled. isnt the skill advantage the reason you can beat lesser skilled people? why do they need gear with even better stats than everyone else to do help them. i never really got in to arena in wow so maybe i dont fully get it, but isnt the rating the motivation to play arena, not the gear? my point is that it shouldnt be a problem to have arena for those who want to play it, as long as it doesnt mean everyone who doesnt do it is disadvantaged across all platforms of pvp. maybe make arena gear only available to wear in the arena? yes? no? maybe? oh ps so many angry people in here. its like you actually think someone important is reading this. this is a forum not a customer support contact line.
