I think the arenas are great, I love controlled environments. I've had a lot of really fun 2 v 2 and 3 v 3 fights.
One flaw though, is that you have to show up at the arena to sign up.
Ok, so my PvPers are always red and I have to go to arenas in fel.
Twice now I've arranged a fight and I show up at the arena only to be ganked after I get off mount to enter the duel. A third time the match ran past 10 minutes and when we were ejected from the arena they were waiting to gank me.
One of two things needs to happen:
1.) There should be a trammel type ruleset that forbids pvp within the arena area, and you shouldn't be able to enter if you are aggrod (similar to the housing aggro set up). This is problematic because there are champ spawns around. There would have to be several unique rules to prevent abuse (like all cursed items drop when you enter, or you can't enter within 2 minutes of combat even if you were attacked). Number 2 is probably the best bet.
2.) Allow me to access the arena gump from anywhere in the game (except from T2A or Dungeons, or while aggrod). Why do I have to be at the arena stone?
