ARENA IS NOT TRUE PVP! Stop this meme.
1.Blizzard admitted Arena was the GREATEST mistake 7 years ago.
Blizzard's Rob Pardo Talks Five Years of Warcraft
2. Arena is more like MOBA and should not be in a MMORPG. It encourages ZERO social behavior. Why don't you play a true MOBA game (LOL, DOTA, HotS) instead of playing WoW Arena?Yes, despite the game's massive success, the developers are extremely aware that they've made mistakes, says Pardo. The lack of a proper Looking For Group tool was something he was "really unhappy" to not have at launch, and that tool is only now coming five years later in Patch 3.3. Aside from all of the technological errors like having too few servers at launch to keep up with the demand, Pardo thinks that the single greatest mistake as far as design of the game is concerned was the choice to introduce competitive "e-sports" into the game via Arenas.
3. It ruins the large BG/WPVP. PVE toolkit is always more suitable for BG/WPVP than Arena.
4. It ruins the balance of the game. Blizzard had to balance both raids and arenas and it never worked.
