Before you all tell me to use the search, I did.

As the title suggests, it would be good to have an arena for the level 16s to 19s, too weak to fight in the Competition or Team Arenas, too strong to fight in the Shiverpeak Arenas. The status quo is, or so I believe, that it IS possible to fight in the Shiverpeak Arena over level 15, but only if you, by some streak of luck, are grouped with a team of 1337 pwners who win every round.

An arena for level 16-19s would stop those levels from being a sort of... doldrums, where you're not good enough to play with the "big men", and too good, and will scare off the tots.

On a side note, i think you ought to be able to use faction to unlock skills and items for your PvE characters in the level 20 PvP arenas, (keeping usage of elites in the Ascalon arena to a minimum).

I wish there were. It's annoying having them in the Competition Arenas but I don't feel justified yelling at them about it because they have nowhere else to go to PvP at that point.

yep, way too many lvl 16-19's go into the competition arenas thinking that it's the next stage of random pvp.

note: its not.

Simply change already existing Arenas' level caps.
Ascalon: 6-10
Yak's Bend:11-14
Lion's Arch:15-18
An additionnal arena: 17-20 (Unascended only)
Droknar Arena: 20 (Ascended only)

And by the way, get rid of twinkers while changing lvls caps.

i've said it before and il say it again, if you enter CA with an under lvl 20 character, you are grieving!
you can make the exact character in less than 5 minutes, with perfect equipement and lvl 20 by creating a pvp character.

I concur with lunchbreak. IDK about calling C.A. Big Men Arena. Myself I call it the Kiddy Pool. Where 98% of them are terrible at PvP, and use the words Noob and pwnd like poo poo head and coodies.

I say they should reopen Denravi and Amnoon Arenas again. Make Denravi 16-19 random Competition 4v4 like lunchbreak suggested, but make Droknar's armor and elite skills unavailable for use in the arenas for Denravi, Shiverpeaks, and Ascalon arenas.

Amnoon should be 4v4 team competition 16-19. Also enable the elite skills to be used, but still have the Droknar’s armor unavailable.

Droknar’s Arena should be the same but change it to 6v6 team competition. C.A. should stay the same because the kiddy’s still need a place to play Barbie and G I Joe.

Nah, it's funny to go in CA with a lvl 1 Warrior.

So basically you're turning PvP arenas into PvE arenas. Like Ascension has to do with anything.
