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?

It's a good idea. Don't let the dedicate griefer entitlement gang tell you otherwise.

I think he wants PvP where he isn't being jumped by the gank-alot bear every time.

Every time an arena is added to an MMO all the other pvp dies.

To play devils advocate; maybe a system like this would encourage some carebears to try their hand in low/null sec after a few victories?

It's already there, I'd consider RvB to be EVEs arena. Atleast in most ways.

You do realize it's dead in EVE too?

An Arena wouldn't stop the T1 Industrial farming at low sec bottlenecks or PvE fit kill mails in anoms. Outside of those and random roaming kills, there is no PvP in EVE.

So this is why people don't want an arena ?

All the other replies might as well not be there as they say nothing.

Only if the Grand Champion gets an immortal adoring fan that follows you everywhere & annoys the crap out of you, making you wish that you had never suggested this terrible idea.

Like if CCP wasn't busy with Dust release. Forget about new content for at least 18+ months (Dust release + PC version).

I fully support this. Global ganking is and always has been a bad thing.
