First off, there is no ranked pvp of anykind whatsoever and organized pvp in this game at the moment does not exist. It would be stupid for Bioware to make changes to classes and to try and balance out the game without even knowing what the issues are. You can't balance a game that isnt competitive. I say that they should wait until ranked warzones release to discuss issues of balance and what classes need to be tuned up/down. As of right now all there is to do is random warzones and these do not show any sort of skill whatsoever, so to balance the game before there is a competitive aspect to it would be stupid. Also WTB arena. plz. (and smoother gameplay)

2k wouldn't even be gladiator range, and second that was the worst balanced season of wow there ever was. That game isn't balanced around 2v2 either, so your point is invalid as 2s were basically just for practice and fun. If you played 3v3 you would notice that there are a wide, wide range of compositions and even if you get countered, good players can sometimes turn it around and win anyhow.

No matter what game your playing their are always going to be favored classes/specs. Just because there would be a lack of balance doesn't mean that bioware shouldn't incorporate a new fun pvp aspect of the game. Arenas are the epitome of skill based PvP. There is nothing that would require more skill, thought, and communication in this game other than ranked warzones. Ranked warzones even would have the same balance issues themselves, have you played wow's ranked bgs? All the best teams generally use the same setup of classes to be able to reach the highest rankings, and in a game like this there's absolutely no way around it. So say what you want, but having experience in high-level pvp in wow, I know that even though there might be some teams that are favored more than others, I would still like to see the arena system implemented simply because it is probably the best competitive pvp for an MMO you can get. (No competition = no fun)

Anyone who thinks arena isn't a measure of skill, obviously lacks skill. The skill required to set up kills and actually coordinate with your teammates is much higher than running around in warzones. Sure there may be some imbalances and some OP comps, but that is the whole fun of the damn system. Its fun playing different setups and learning to coordinate your abilities with your partner's. Its also much easier to log on with a couple of buddies and pvp in a 3v3 battle rather than try and get 8 together for a warzone. Yes some classes will work better with others and some might even seem OP together, but the fact of the matter is arena is the only way to get good competitive pvp going, that actually requires some thinking involved.

/sign This game needs some real pvp competition and I don't think ranked warzones are going to be the answer. Why not implement an arena system?
