Blizzard Poster Tyren has announced that this coming Sunday, 12pm to 3pm, Blizzard will be holding a Worldwide Arena Battle on the Tournament Test Realm in order to focus testing on the server. Members of the community and development teams will be queuing up to fight, so if you've always wanted to show Kalgan or Tigole what for in the Arena, this looks like your chance. You can expect a battle between the various CMs as well, so we'll have to watch to see who gets stickied and who gets banned. If you're not sure how to access the TTR, you can read Zach Yonzon's guide here on the site. Don't worry if you don't have a character transfer slot left, every character created on the TTR is automatically level 70, and will spawn next to a selection of vendors that will let them buy a wide variety of gear to outfit themselves for battle.
Assuming the TTR doesn't collapse under the stress, we'll see you there!

Imho, this would be a good chance for the WoW community to speak out against the "Arena is greater than all" mentality Blizzard seems to be taking. All of the PvP changes that have come at the expense of PvE... it's just been too much as of late.
I, for one, will pass on this event.

I'm passing on this event.
The thought of a realm with nothing except for a few Vendors saddens me.

I'd be all for it if it meant they could minimise the PvE impact of PvP balancing and instead let the arena hounds have their own place to play.
Unfortunately, I don't see that happening. I think having everyone with an equal gear level will make the PvP class imbalances more pronounced and force more "balancing" at the expense of PvE.
I would love to see PvP gear give specific "balancing" buffs that only applied vs players (and players pets/minions), so they could balance PvP and PvE separately.
