Before I go any further, I want to make sure the information I am going on is accurate, and that I understand it correctly.

Is this right? Is the number of people playing Arena PvP at the 2000+ level really less than 16,000? Out of 11,000,000 subscribers? And if the number is even close to accurate, why are PvE concerns being trumped by the concerns of such a miniscule portion of the subscriber population?

When I get some responses clarifying the accuracy of this information and my interpretation of it, I will expound more.

I'll bet you can't wait for that!!!

stop.

This is nothing new, they have pandered to PVPers for years now, all your PVE nerfs are a direct result of Arenas.

Arenas should go away, now .

Conversely, the vast majority of class changes made for PvE reasons are based solely around issues with hard mode raid bosses- that is to say, content that less than 10% of the playerbase makes use of. By that logic if anything you should be complaining that hardmode PvE issues ruin arena PvP, not the other way around.
