Is Arena Everything in This Game?

Personally I would say that Arena is everything in this game, whether it be for ships or just the normal arena.

To me it seems like everything is set up just for arena, for example light/darkside battles is for gear and shards to power up characters. GW gets shards to power up characters, and raids give rewards to power up characters such as gear and shards.

The only reason to upgrade characters in the first place would be to be for the arena right? Where you battle with your powered up characters against others?

But lately ive been hearing people say that arena is not the most important aspect of the game. But, it seems that everything just builds up for arena in some way or another.

I was curious as to why arena wouldn't be considered the most important aspect of the game, and if its not yours, then what is?
  • It's one of the few things that makes upgrading your characters competitive, otherwise all there is to do is completion
  • Arena = faster progression

    If you are content on going slow, it means nothing if you don't enjoy it.

    I'm not sure I'd call it PvP, the only thing PvP about it is when multiple people compete for the same payout.
  • In most regards it is everything.

    However, how could it be everything when it comes down to one hour of work.

    I will be honest, I always struggle in arena until recently. I found out my payout is the only one cst in the top 20 players of my shard.

    Now I can easily rank one. Other friends of mine are on the same time payout as two or three other top players and therefore they don't reap the benefits I do. The process needs to be re examined and possibly redone to reward differently.
