IF they implement it in a right way, so not WoW-style, then it can be a good addition to the pvp-area of Rift.
I dont know if you can call it arena's what I am gonne propose, but personally I would like to see it as the following:
First it should be in Slivers, meaning other time-zones giving Trion all the creative freedom they want.
Offcourse based on current WF's and Zones.
2v2, 5v5. 10v10. 20v20. 4 different options, all should be able to do
2v2 and 5v5 should be done in WF's/Arena's and 10v10 and 20v20 in Zones of part of zones.
Gear should be obsolute, all on equal footing. Teams should be of same rank, or at least in the same Rx0 range.
There will be headon battles(2v2/5v5) and skirmishes with maps who favor tactical play(10v10, 20v20).
It should be easy to make this in line with any Rift Lore. some could be done in the past, some in the future(timeline speaking).
You could make Defiant vs Guardian, but you can also make Oath vs NF. We already have 5 factions for pvp(2 for WF's, 3 for CQ), so use them
Dont name it Arena, it will just narrow it down to actually Arena's :P
Maybe this all is just my inexperience in PVP. I did some in WoW, Swtor and Rift, but never much. So maybe everything I think of will be unable to realise. But personally I would find PVP much more interesting this way.
Specially when it become important, not just 1 single battle over and over. but a series of battles, where the outcome of 1 has influance on the next battle(or 1 simulanously fight in another " arena" )
The possibilities are endless
