Quote:I've always thought that arenas should have predefined sets of equipment. If you want a purely skill-based affair, then give everyone the same gear and let talent spec and player skill be the rule of the day. Sure you remove a huge motivation to play arenas by taking away the gear rewards, but there are ways around that- titles, mounts, heck, maybe even free playtime.
I've long thought that's the way to do it, too. But then you have hordes of folks saying THAT isn't fun. Blizzard can't win here, with PvP. Basically...people want to kill other people easily, with no risk to themselves doing so in this game. You can't make it balanced, or fair, without upsetting a large chunk of your playerbase.
This is essentially the same argument those who like twinks are so fond of constantly repeating "I twink so that I can compete against other twinks!" but when you realize there are very few twinks out there, and they don't tend to like playing against each other, the argument kind of falls flat.
