Nobody should have to deal with that 
unfortunately itās true that people in this game love, and I mean LOVE to exploit or simply cheatā¦ But thatās not PvPers doing that, while I agree that you see it more frequent in OPR- as this is the competitive side of the game (to some degree) I first started noticing it when I would get in dungeons or mutations- the PvE content.
āOh skip this pack, and stand here, or climb here and they glitch out so we can just have this room to deal withā or āGo prone right here on this edge so we can cheese the bossāā¦
What sucks is we see exploiters go anywhere they want, same goes for cheaters (until they are caught enough times to warrant a ban/or action from the staff/team) itās not the PvPers that want any of this, itās not the PvEāers that want it either. itās simply douche bags that do this in general. not a specific group of players. Doesnāt even matter what game it is. They will always exist. The problem is, they for some reason, still have a voice to opinions, when clearly itās a troll tactic to keep the game in a instable state. You know this already seeing how you mentioned:
This goes for PvEāers as well. I know several threads where PvEāers would complain the game lacks content- but itās the same players that will bypass the gameās content to go loot a chest and cheese bosses for ez loots. Like- youāre (people in general, not YOU 
) actively bypassing the very content youāre stating is missing or a ālack thereofā said content. lol the logic kills meā¦
As of now, we have a few types of players left, and the minority of these groups are simply good people vs bad people. Whereas the good players will actively try to help the gameās success and find a medium ground to present as an argument of change, vs people who want to watch the world burn. Both PvP and PvE players.
I read awhile back that a game (I think it was fortnite or overwatch) banned 1/10th of itās playerbase/populationā¦ I was blown away for the reasons why, simply Hackers/exploiters were banned because, wellā¦ they hacked or exploited and deserved it, but it showed that todays gamers arenāt capable of being good or competitive without a crutch. 1 and 10 players were cheating XD thatās a huge number considering the game in question had millions of players.
I donāt think Arenas will solve anything particular, aside from maybe showcasing the meta that could result in better balance. but thatās a fat āCouldā.
PvP players will like Arenas sure, but I label myself as a PvP first, PvE second type of player and I wont really get a dip on Arenas muchā¦ I want open-world to be my PvP, and right now there arenāt many ways to find open-world PvP without being called a prick or other names alike lol So a PvP server WOULD be neat, but even that would become staleā¦ We as PvP players want content or meaning behind PvP situationsā¦ Pushing territories arenāt it for meā¦ wars arenāt it for meā¦ OPR isnāt eitherā¦ while itās fun at times (if Iām not Desyncing my bawlz off) I want something more meaningful and more in depth aside from, āHey guys, stand near this flag post and wait for it to be yoursāā¦ thatās so bland and too simple for my taste. I want a frontier zone, like how DAoC did their RvR. a zone you port to where there are keeps/castles to siege, Guards to kill, a door to smash down like the sirenās brute door, and a lord to kill before your realm could take a claim to said keepā¦ not this, flag point stuff. thatās meh to me. I want more immersion just like a PvE player would want the same concept for their content.
The type of PvPers that came to NW arenāt just plebs or casuals, I know you know this already because you stated the real ones left already (most of them) which leaves nothing but- the plebs/casuals that want spoon fed by AGS and others that donāt pertain to this argument ofc.
There are always going to be bad apples. Iām just wanting a medium to meet in the middle for these new ideas. not just to argue about nonsense.
Iāve advocated for a lot of change, but never a direct nerf to anything aside from Roots, resulting in a DR system thatās done correctly, to prevent āSpamā over skill while maintaining the same effects and durations of roots or CC in general. I donāt like seeing VG getting a duration nerf to scream while the main issue is roots in general. which lead me to diminishing returns to CC spam.
I also advocated for a more separate versions of PvP such as:
But, Iām mainly a PvP first type of guyā¦ THAT is where the real minority lies. which is sad because I hate the ez mode cheese, I hate the CC spam, I hate all the same things most people dislike about this gameās mechanics. but instead of asking for x,y,z, to be nerffed, I wanted to maintain the roots of the mechanics, but polish them up for ALL involved, not just for me, even though it pertains to me.
We have a real problem with players being legit vs being argumentative based on being bias.
Iām tired of arguing with people that donāt want to help, theyād rather just argue and talk more shit on the game in question. Blame the players, not AGS, even though itās their system, itās not their fault people are acting like clowns. itās the clowns to blame, that ruined it for literally everyone good natured about how things should work.
Like literally, everyone hates the CC spamā¦ but any mention of DRs (if done the way I have mentioned it in many threads) they all hate the idea, and the ones that would generally agree with me, are nowhere to be foundā¦ what to doā¦ what to doā¦ Canāt make anyone happy.
