Is this a stealth RvB recruitment thread?

Put Arenas in the major hubs, allow players to arrange matches. Televise the match's in local and perhaps in CQ's. (I want my remote CCP)
Set up a betting system, with the house taking a cut. Part of the house cut goes to Isk prizes for the winner, based on a percentage of the take, so that the betting interest in the match directly affects the payout.
Isk sink....

I was never in favor of Arenas, I felt they would be game breaking, but after watching people attempt to manipulate the suspect system to get 1 vs 1 day after day, maybe it's time.
Outside of an Arena, there is no way to ensure a 1 vs 1. This solves the issue, provides passive entertainment for the couch potato/ship spinner types, as well as an isk sink.
With the number of gambling sites run by players, isn't it time CCP got in on the action?



Go back to WoW and take your DUMB ideas with u.

I'll say this although I am opposed to the idea of Area PVP, VERY AGAINST IT, as i stated in a previous post, for me, it crosses the line when it becomes 'required' to PVP.

If it were implemented it shouldn't change anything. Only ADD to what we already have. For instance, Instead of sending a private convo for a 1v1 one could simply send a request for a 1v1. And instead of taking you to an arena for combat you would both be warped off grid 1000+KM's where you would be allowed to fight. No other pilots would be able to engage or even lock you during this fight. No outside interference at all. The only thing this would change as far as in game/ non game mechanic goes is that there would be no more dishonoring 1v1's. Via Loggie alts, Nuet RR, etc,. However, some people would fight against this concept as they get a fair bit of their kills dishonoring 1v1s. Namely. Station hugging hippies in jita, rens, or amarr. Though it's effects would be felt all over the universe. I my self like it how it is and would hate to see it implemented but if it was this is the evil i would pick.

I wasn't proposing something like other games. I was talking 1 Arena per hub. 1 match at a time. Not instanced battle grounds. The ability for players to preselect allowed ships and fittings. You would have the choice of getting in a queue to fight, or scheduling a match. Prizes aren't really required, this is simply dueling. Pilots getting sponsorship is a nice idea. Maybe a minimal fee per ship to enter the Arena for an additional sink.



All this already exists. Players groups, corporations and alliances already do this.
Such as:

What you're asking for is to have it as premade theme park protected areas contents, instead of player driven sandbox events.

EVE is THE sandbox of MMO's. Or any game for that matter. IF you do not like it. Do not play it.

The box needs more sand. Would you like to fight in my arena?

I agree with OP, it's about time. If you do it right, there are no real drawbacks. It also perfectly fits into the EVE backround story, just read the race info of Caldari. I know it's more challenging than creating another cruiser and destroyer or somesuch, but this could add a lot of fun to players who don't like to wait for hours to have a PVP experience and be something really new after a long time.

I assure you that this box has plenty of Sand. Being the Goon that you are you should know. After all, you greedy little kids are the ones hogging it all. :P

Personally I would not want to see dev time put into this.

If you want to run a tournament, go on the test server? You can get all the modules you need without supply or ISK problems and finding an empty system is quick and easy.

No, Just no !

If you did this, too many pvp'ers would gravitate there and it would make the rest of space that much worse.

PVP needs to have the ability to be both sporadic and random while being organized at the same time. It can happen anywhere at anytime. Risk of losing your ship during an Arena PVP 1v1 is a calculated risk and is predictable for the most part. True PVP should not be limited or capped or anyway controlled. Also with a system like that where would us pirates be with out non consensual PVP? Should we first ask you if it is alright to gank you when you jump into our gate.

in fact OP should go to Rancer and warp to one of the gates. He will see a flash and a portal that leads to Arena realm will open.

Be sure to do it in a pod or T1 frigate, otherwise it might not work.

And be sure to warp between gates repeatedly if no results the first time.

The shock of combat, the experience of fighting in and against expensive ships for the first time, it's all an important part of what makes Eve great.
