Oh yes, the same tired old bleating about "unfair" and "no skill" PvP. Perhaps EVE is not the game for you if you want carefully balanced arena-style PvP? |

What else is there to say? It's an idea that directly contradicts fundamental concepts of EVE. If you want arena-style PvP feel free to make an in-game organization that arranges it. But at no point should CCP enforce things like preventing the competitors from cheating. |

Of course it does. Your idea is fundamentally broken, and nothing can salvage it. The fact that you don't like this answer does not mean that more than a simple "no" is required.

Apparently because you ignored them instead of hearing them. We've told you the reason, it directly contradicts the idea of EVE's sandbox PvP. Unfair fights, cheating, dirty tricks, etc, are all a core part of the game, and having a special arena PvP area where those things are banned by game mechanics is not acceptable.
Quote:It there was an option to train yourself for the pvp
There is. It's called fitting cheap ships and going off to kill stuff. Or joining a corp where you can follow along in group PvP as you get better at it. Arena PvP is not required to learn the game. |

Nobody is stopping you from organizing arenas. Create an in-game organization, set up your rules, and have some fights. What we object to is a system where CCP creates the rules and enforces them with game mechanics rather than player trust and reputation. For example, in a player-created system you're free to decide that your opponent's loot is expensive enough that you're willing to get booted from the dueling corp to gank them 10v1 when they're expecting a fair fight. In the system you're proposing this is no longer possible, and that is a problem. |
