Arrow Nobody uses the low-level arenas!

Vitually nobody uses the low-level arenas! So how about make them into alternate lvl 20 random arenas? So that if a lvl 20 enters battle in low-level arenas, they'll be joining lvl 20 random arena games. This will give lvl 20 random arena players alternative towns to visit and makes better use of the of the art/maps.

My feeling is that ANet just needs to combine all the lower level random arenas from all the campaigns (Prophecies, Factions & Nightfall).

It's all instanced anyway so this shouldn't be a huge hurdle.

As you have it now, Dervishes are getting ran all the way to Ascalon to partake in Random Arenas (and kicking butt BTW).

So, let's have all the Random Arenas combined and available to all appropriate level ranged players in whatever campaign.
The arena campaign style could be randomized as well for each round.

It's a good thing for ANet because it exposes players of one campaign to professions of other campaigns earlier in the game possibly prompting more sales, etc.

Anet needs to do something about the bots in the arenas before I'll go back. I took my Level 8 Monk into the Ascalon arena for some PvP practice and as soon as we warped into the game all I saw was constant BOT spamming.

"goto www.<bleepedforobviousreasons>.com!!! You too can Pwnz any PvP team with our bot software"

This was non-stop from the other team while they proceeded to kick our butts at PvP.

Did you report this?

Nothing can be done about it if ANet hasn't been informed. Date, times, player names, etc. As much information as you can recall.

ANet doesn't have game masters online 24/7 to monitor everything, yet another reason we don't pay monthly fees. So, do your part and help police the community.

Chances are this was just a spammer trying to be funny, but let ANet pull up the logs and see.

No! No! Instead of turning them into lvl 20 arenas, turn the players into characters than can enter there!

There are 4 of them:
- Ascalon.
- Shiverpeaks.
- Shing Jea.
- Istan.

So they would be 'fixed' like this:
- All of them with elites locked. (Alredy done)
- All of them with fixed levels and attribute points. You enter the place and your character is temporarily tuned to the arena. Like this:
*Ascalon: Level 10, 45 attribute points. (Just after leaving presearing, no AP quests)
*Shiverpeaks: Level 15, 95 attribute points. (Just after getting to there, no AP quests)
*Shing Jea: Level 10, 60 attribute points (1st AP quest done).
*Istan: Level 10, 75 attribute points (both AP quests done).

And maybe also this:
- Some of them with fixed sets of skills.
*Ascalon: Only core and preSearing Skills.
*Shiverpeaks: Only Core and Prophecies skills.
*Shing Jea: Only core and Factions skills.
*Istan: Only Core and Nightfall skills.

That way, each arena would be different, but fair to everyone, since no level 2 freshmen from PreAscalon would fight agaisnt level 10 Dervishes.

The only point would be equipment... I don't think thay have a way to temporarily change that... maybe a skill like the dragon arena one to make al weapons have max stats while inside those arenas...

That would do, I think...

Just add an effect like they have in the Snowball arena that sets everyone's armor to the same level (according to profession). That way you eliminate the advantage of getting run.

It could be
'<Name> Arena'
Blessing. Your health, armor, damage taken and damage dealed are those of a level 10/15 character.

Much like combinit Sunspear Battle Cry, Dragon Arena effect and Snowball arena effects.
