Pretty much I wanna know if there's an arena system put in place (ladders, rewards based on rank etc) much like WoW's. Also I wanna know if the combat 'fluidity' is like WoW's. I'm pretty sure these questions do not break the NDA.
Cheers guys.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: There will be no ranked PvP at launch.
Ew really???? I was actually getting excited for SWTOR, but now that they're going to pull a blizzard and give PvE 90% of the attention, im having second thoughts... i already quit WoW since its PvP sucks... maybe GW2 will have some serious PvP... who knows.
Speaking mostly about endgame here, they're not giving PvE more attention than PvP. Just like they're not giving PvP more attention than PvE. They are a brand new MMO, and are giving the most attention in SWTOR 1.0 to the leveling experience.
They do have some endgame. But it should in no way be considered the end of their endgame. Future patches will bring more. Much more.
who needs Arenas when you have Huttball?!
*Switches to John Madden voice*
C'MON...HUTTBALL!
<Insert something witty and humorous here>
There will be ranked systems. We don't know when though.
And I'm putting out the warning for the thread right now:
Don't attack and slam eachother for wanting or not wanting things in the game. Opinions can differ, but all discussion needs to be constructive.

Pretty much what I want is a ranking/ladder system whether it be open world or small group play with rewards based on how well you do. MMO gaming for me is being better than everyone else and getting gear which reflects that; but that's probably just my incredibly competitive side speaking :P

There is still too much wrong in SWTOR's PvP gameplay to even consider arena atm.
Arenas were one of the worst things to happen to WoW.
You know what is better than drinking a beer? Brewing your own beer. And then drinking it. And then... Drinking another beer. And then, punching somebody in the snout! That's what!
So because you don't enjoy it, they should remove arenas from the MMO genre completely? MMO's have very unique combat and arena's are the only way to show skill and get rewarded accordingly.
Also if a mage is OP in arena, they'd be OP in BG's and open world pvp? Or just because it's in a BG they're automatically balanced. Enough with this 'balance' crap. If the game was balanced it would be boring.

I prefer PvE so doesn't bother me! Sure they'll add it at some point though, they need some stuff to bring out over time as well if everything appears at launch it'll leave nothing for people to want or whatever.
Whats skillful in taking a person from 100% to 0 in a stun.
I'm afraid its not a valid point, as players don't pick players based on skill. Skill is a secondary consideration, with your group setup being first.
I think you might need to retake mathematics (even if its just the basics), so that you might be better able to tally up your teammates. If you are the one person being clusterfucked, you are likely :
a) A healer
b) Not focusing on moving with your team
c) The only person on your side
And yes, I could be worse I could be a lot worse. Fortunately, I'm not.
Rated Warzones is confirmed at launch.
