Arena Style pvp?

[Gustav_Mannfred]

To put it short: We had arenas in the past years, CCP decided to stop them without any announcements or whatever. Just gone.
The last arena we had was a Navy BC 1v1 in January

CCP should bring it back

Bring back old proving grounds

As the title says, bring back the old abyssal proving grounds! As I am not sure where to put, I put it into feature and idea discussion. I know, this is not the first thread about that(and there will be more coming for sure), but there are people who liked it, and so it should come back. There was nothing wrong with them, really not! I dont understand, why content, which is great got replaced with these filaments. Why was it not possible to keep the old arena? to be honest, I was thinking abou…

Burner proving grounds as a replacement/relaunch for the old 1v1 arena at the end of abyssal sites

So, when CCP removed the old 1v1 arena, many people complained and wanted it back or either an equivalent replacement. Here I gonna suggest an equivalent replacement for the old arenas, the burner proving grounds. To enter these, there is a new filament, the burner proving ground filament. You can obtain them by the same way as you get the normal proving filaments. However, the mechanic inside these sites is different from the regular proving grounds. Instead of a queue, you always enter the …

Stopping Proving grounds without any announcements

As title says, does anyone know why CCP all of a sudden stopped doing more arenas without any communication about it? (For once it is not about bringing the old arena back) Just stopping something without saying what exactly is going on is a bad move. Same thing also applies to the Guardians Gala and Hunt event. For the Gala we learned AFTER the estimated start date that it wont happen, while some ppl have already prepared for this event, and then like a week later or so we found out in a dev b…

I don’t get why CCP just removes content when it gets dominated by a few players. By that logic CCP must also have gotten rid of FW when it is really dominated by few players with 10b T1 frigs and bot farmers. In the old arena behind the 2nd gate, I saw many cheap 300m Deimos fits killing 10B Ikis there. It was not all about bling, it was also about strategy and descision making. And so it was in the new arena too

But, you don’t win enough if you don’t do it.

That was not really the case. I never rolled drugs, took it in fight when I needed them (the new arenas, in the old it was different). If I got any negatives, I did not reroll and just went on until it ran out.

The worst part on all this is that it got stopped without any announcement.
