Re: PLEASE don't wipe PvP test!
I agree with those that feel this should be removed - as it is currently set up.
What makes this interesting is that you have PvP with gear being a non-factor. It is your skill vs. mine. I think the concept is sound and should be considered as an enhancement to the arena. Furthermore, I think the other appealing aspect is use of the overland zones. Remove quests and loot from mobs, offer a couple of overland zones, and you have an interesting enhancement to Arena play. A pure PvP zone. Totally separate from the main PvP servers where they choose to play the game and kill each other in the process.
Guild vs. Guild. Top players in a class facing off. A cool place to blow off some steam while waiting for lockouts.
Sounds like fun.

Except by itself, the idea gets old fast and gets boring. As an enhancement, the idea is solid.

That's why you use it as a side thannnng. You play it during down time, to get that instant satisfaction.

I think this is also a great idea, and would accomplish the same goals that I suggested above. My suggestion doesn't necessarily have to occur on the PvP test server.
If the arena could be modified so people could use it and select uber mode, that would be fun as hell also. One thing I don't like about the arena is that it is limited in scope - you play the arena with a small group of other players. The coolest thing about the wild wild West deal going on PvP test now is that it is a no holds barred server wide FFA - pure anarchy. Right now, SS on PvP Test = Bartertown from Mad Max.
You can't get that same effect in small groups and in limited zones, which is what the Arena is all about. So I'd suggest finding a way to keep this action and excitement on a serverwide basis, rather than as part of a single zone or instance limited to small groups. The very scope of this is what makes it fun and exciting.
