Ok kids...


Here's one for all of you to think about. I was sittin back the other day playin on Chilastra when an idea came to me. I remember in the Star Wars series huge arenas or colosseums were used for gladiator type events. I would love to see arenas or at least a way to set up buildings so that people can fight their animals, or even each other for money. This sticks with the setting of the Star Wars story and would be a great asset to all who play.


For those MCH who pride themselves on having the best pets on their server, why dont you put your money where your mouth is. MBE's can you make a better pet than the next guy or are you just average. Doctors, medic, and all healers there's money here for you too.


So we'll be able to see who has the best pets, Naturals or BE'd pets. Plus all you naturals can bring in your rare pets that BE's cant make.


I just thought I'd throw out this pitch to you. And if you like it, please ask your friendly neighborhood Dev to get started on it.


I know there is talk of Corrals for the animals.. but lets face it... thats no fun. Or maybe the use of both would really revive the Glory of the Creature Handling profession.

You wouldn't see one wild pet in that arena. You would only be fueling BEs which don't need anymore sources of income. Actual MCHs need cash, and frankly.. we won't be winning any money unless we put down 500k on a good BE pet. Give us comparable tamables and i'd be all for it. But i'll be damned if i suport anything that helps BEs before CH. We've already suffered enough at their expense. Its time we have some pet parity back, oh and a way to make money besides endless destroy missions.

I think Arenas in general should be a structure that can be built for player cities. The arena should also have the ability to drop npc structures so if u want to have fun with fellow rebels you can pull up an imperial campaign and fight.

We used to have an arena of sorts like that...they were called battle fields. No one used 'em so now they're all disabled.I remeber distinctly trying to get people in my guild to go use them but no one would when it was much closer to do missions out of a city for faction points. I'd love to see battle fields back up and i'd love to see a city battle arenas, and even the ability to for the mayor of the cityto award trophies from winning a tournament. That would breath more life into the organised PvP events. I love the idea of a city arena.

Where the "Naturals" would benifit would be with the pets that MCH cant make. CH's get exotic pets like flyers and snakes. BE's only make base pets. We can't make frenzied Grauls or Greater Sludge Panthers... stuff like that.


And I totally agree. MCH's are screwed. MCH's need to do something that tells SOE they're tired of being overlooked. Frankly you guys are never going to be fixed and be a sub par profession. But you're going to stay that way till you guys do something about it.
