Change ranked PVP

[Ath192]

To an official arena with a coloseum built around it that people can get in and spectate?

1. Cross DC
2. The Arena can have multiple configurations like the roman colosseum was occasionally adapted.
3. The spectators appear on the seats in the arena so the contestants could just get a glimpse of the crowd if they choose to stare. Some NPCs as well if the arena is empty, so some load balancing would have to be considered and not all viewers may be displayed.
4. The viewer has mutliple camera angles, like one third person who sees their character from the seats and can emote (the ones that can be displayed while sat down), an overview one from the top, and perhaps one that follows each contestant and the like.


Wouldn't a new city with such an immersive feature be awesome? It beats the mysterious arenas that cannot be visited and seemingly appear nowhere in the game and adds a good flair to CC.

There's one already in Ul'dah.

Indeed, it could be used for PvP. Although the design is terrible, and it is way too small for a CC match. It would be nice to be able to duel in it though.

I have no idea why they decided to make it a pit, but then again that was the least of the weird decisions they made at the beginning of this game.

Because there isn’t anything to scale it would have to be added to another city in an expansion. Something pretty big.
