thanks for the overwhelming hatred I thought about answering specifically on that, but I think it's better to ignore it since I don't understand humans, as you pointed out so well, especially why they need to go to that level of verbal aggression.

you however might be right that some people will never evolve from an arena and still stay there with no intention to move anywhere else (just like some wardec and HS gankers that stay in Amarr or Jita area and enjoy there "little Arena" there

only problem with the arena type I proposed is they will gain SPs while being in the Top 100 and over time they will have to leave or create a new character...
But I guarantee you quite a few will look for something beyond and thats the potential of new players that stick with the game rather than leave it frustrated because they where unable or did not want to join one of the greater alliances and are sick of getting dissed by elite players

... with a much greater sense of pride and achievement.


About this: I hope you don't throw your children into the Atlantic Ocean or Northsee or whatever is closest to your home. I would prefer to have my kinds experience water first in a garden pool or something and then help them literally get their feet wet and then experience the sea.
Especially since the sea here is used as a metaphor for New Eden, which I believe if you use the metaphor right, would be more like the Atlantik Ocean on a very harsh day at winter time. Certainly not many kids that cannot swim and are prepared or equipped the right way will survive that.

But anyways, thats only my thinking and as I'm, according to most of the peoples opinion here an inhuman stupid idiot etc.... what does it matter.BlinkRoll

Problem with us stupid idiots is we believe in ideas Pirate and that why I posted it here and if you guys are unable to respect that then I'm sorry for you Attention

You do realize that they will get dissed even harder in these arenas by elite players than they will in the open world arenas called star systems, right? If nothing else, LOL, DOTA, SC and other similar arena games with their toxicity are the best proof for that. In the open world arenas called star systems you can at least evade them or move somewhere else; in arenas on the other hand you are utterly at the dissers' mercy and can't run anywhere.

I also have serious doubts that arena players will grow beyond that arena system. The open world is so much different from the arena that they would get frustrated by how little predictable and controllable it is and go back to arenas after they gave it a try. Redoing characters is only a very small obstacle because we now have skill extractors/injectors.

What arenas are really about is creating another cash cow for CCP without CCP having to actually do something good for the game.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.
