Yes, you read that right. I did say PvE Arena. Eliah Hecht reports on a really neat suggestion from the forums about a PvE Arena. Basically, you take 4 buddies, queue up, and get dropped into a cage style fight against some random boss from WoW's 'boss'iary. You (and the boss) get ratings depending on wins/losses, and rewards are rewarded. Of course, there are some things to be ironed out. Such as, how often could you do this? Would some bosses be ineligible (5man C'Thun? No, thanks...) due to the sheer inability to beat them unless they were drastically retuned and that sort of thing. But it sure is a really interesting idea.
Sounds fun, but the problem with PvE is that it's all scripted and based on a limited number of variables. You could probably argue the same for the people in PvP arenas, but there's always a chance that a human player will do something utterly unexpected. Once you figure out how to kill the dragon and the variables it's allowed to use, it becomes static and boring.
