It what sense?

It would solve your issues and if you are interested in pvp, you'll learn a lot.

You'll die a lot early on, but as a player you'll develop skills that will be invaluable to your character when it's a bit older and able to fly more ships with better fits.

Also, as your KB has your losses all in lowsec, a couple of tips:

1. Don't fly a Caracal until you can fit it properly
2. Amamake, Siseide and surrounding systems are traditionally busy systems. You'll find newer players in quieter FW systems

All my deaths in lowsec are due to me going there on the way to somewhere else and meeting an unfortunate end. also proper fittings on my caracal had nothing to do with my death. i was shot by a group of 10 people at a stargate. That aside, I'm not really looking to find people to fight really. I'm looking to find people who want to fight other people and everyone gets a little money and experience (except the loser on the money bit) without having to risk the high probability of an unfair fight. At least in this sort of setting the fights will be mostly fair. yeah one guy may have more experience or tech 2 modules while his opponent is less skilled in pvp and only has tech 1 fittings, I can make a rule going against such things or only allowing frigates to fight each other and cruisers to fight cruisers (unless agreed upon by the two parties).

Agreed, but OP doesn't want to actually learn how to pvp, nor participate, only tell others how to.
lol?

Didn't read anything but the title but I'm going to assume i know what the thread is about and be snarky about anyways.

Yes, low sec is clearly thriving so we must add more things to draw people out of these over populated areas of immense content.

Arenas would mean the end of roaming. I for one wouldn't put in 3 hours, being ganked 6 times and trying to kill 10 stabbed farmers who just warp away just to find 1 or 2 solid solo fights when i could just go there and fight to my hearts content.

Better to fix low sec so you actually find more people willing to pvp in the sandbox instead of opening a theme park.

Solution: Remove the Po Po from hisec. Cool

But where would they go?

Plot twist. Concord now controls nullsec.

Then you have more low sec. That's so brilliant! Why didn't anybody ELSE think of it??? Whoa.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Ha, I came in expecting a whine topic on the absence of arena's where one doesn't lose his ship. Didn't expect a genuine inquiry about player-driven content. Tournaments can actually be a lot of fun, we do this with the corp sometimes. Yup it's herding cats but as usual, anything done enough times becomes routine. I think not many people bother outside of their own social circles, because there's to many dopeheads trolling and / or having a limited IQ to keep order.

Just try it OP. From what I see around trade hubs there are a lot of people who would love that playstile. Maybe you can find your first gladiators there.

There may be some problems if other people try to interrupt the battles just for the lulz, but I am sure there will be a way to incorporate such incidents into your rules set and take measures to stop them. Just be prepared for that. It may make the thing even more interesting.

Don't matter the troll squad here who doesn't even read your posts before they answer. You did not ask for CCP to change the game, that's probably what some of them where thinking when they saw your title.

In my opinion this type of arena gameplay would be 100% more EVE then any CCP sponsored tournament so far where they basically isolate the teams from the rest of tranquility. Real EVE esport needs to be placed in the sandbox itself, it has to be something that emerged from the sandbox and that's what I think the OP is trying to do here. I think the current tournaments don't represent EVE in any way. They have nothing to do with the ingame gameplay, it is a completely foreign format that just uses EVE assets. Only if this type of gameplay emerges from the sandbox it will be an EVE tournament. Maybe the OP will find out if that is even possible.

Wormholes, 0.0 and low sec already meet this criteria.

It's the spectators and strangers in those areas you have to worry about, Imagine Goons hotdropping a fleet on 75-100 people partaking in the matches, spectating, etc. I bet on Goons now :)

You need to work out a system using the War-Dec, alliance and corp mechanics that already exist now. That way you can issue and retract hostility as needed. If the contestants and corp holding alts are the only players involved there will be no outside interference and the matches can take place in hisec (even 1.0 systems, to ensure carebear participation)

Using the above method would also allow you to easily arrange things like 2v2, 4v4 and ladder bracket matches.

I like the idea alot. If you offer prizes high enough and take your time planning it this could be a very nice event making a ton of isk. It's gonna require effort to do it correctly but the results will be awesome.

Unless you count "fitting multiple warp core stabs and a cloak" as "dueling", you're sadly mistaken.

Gate camps are on low>high sec gates, and you'll avoid them by living in lowsec. Living there and getting connected with locals (people living in lowsec are generally nicer, more social and mature folks than in highsec) gets you access to intel in the area.

FW space has plexes, that restrict what ship types can enter. This makes most fights fair, and allows people to choose their fights if it looks unfair to them.

But good luck with your venture.
