Anyone else think it is completely off that a Level 8 can join the Shiverpeak Arena that is made for level 10-15? Im a level 15 warrior/monk and im trying to enjoy some pvp, but 2 out of 5 groups im placed with has someone under level 10. Just like you cant join after 15, it should be like that under 10. Its not very fair to the group of players that get that character. Just a gripe.

true... but then again the point of this game is that in theory a good level 8 could totally thrash a level 15. Fair enough, they'd have to be a damn good level 8, but it could happen.

Yes, it could happen. And its not even like I am an elitist or anything. I just don't see why you cant go there after 15, but you can go there under 10? Its kind of unfair to those looking for a quick and fair battle. Why would you go to the arena at 8 when at a click of the map you can go to your own arena? Unless its just to suck up pvp XP from your group.

lol well i haven't pvped very much (3 times at level 5 and our group went down fast all 3 times lol) so i really can't answer things like that. but surely if you can get there at level 8 they must have some skill? *shrugs* personally i think it'd be nice to have different level arenas at all cities; i don't want to go all the way to Lions Arch for a PvP battle if i've been back at Ascalon finishing up a few unfinished quests

Isn't hard to get there at level 8, just like it isn't difficult to just enter post-searing at level 8, but I see level 3's and such around all of the time. However, while there used to not be such a great level difference, the increase in health and the big variance between attribute points and health now makes it really a game of levels a bit more. A level 8 only has I believe 260 health while a lvl 15 has 400, and so many more attribute points. It may be great for the level 8 if he thinks he can fight against 15's, but, if the 8 is on your team it is annoying, especially if you lose, because that certainly didn't help.

In my opinion it needs like catagorys in the arena.

Like say ascalon arena is for 1-10. Have like sub arenas with levels like 1-3, 3-6, 6-10.
