    I suspect the reason that SE did not use the Colleseum as a PvP arena already was precisely because it would cause lots of players to congregate around what is a new/low level player area and thus lead to congestion and lag - issues Ul'dah has long suffered badly from (especially as it's long been the 'meeting place' for the game even back in 1.0). This is probably why PvP ended up in an entirelly new area (the Wolves' Den), so that players idling around between PvP content wouldn't cause congestion issues that would adversely affect a main starting city area of the game.

    Also the Colleseum is not entirelly unused - part of a Hildibrand quest is set there, and the level 60-70 PLD quests involve fighting npcs in there as part of a gladiatorial tournament appropriately enough (rehashing the old GLA class quests from 1.0 which also took place there). Really, the Colleseum is part of the GLA's Guild exclusively story wise so it's kind of unable to be used for actual PvP unfortunately anyway, so I do not SE changing this.
