I would like the "arena" idea honestly released as it's own game (that would of course share character data with the official game), maybe a $15-$20 downloadable title on PSN/XBLive or whatever. I would shell out that much for a place for dedicated dueling PvP in a heartbeat, but I also don't want a place focused on online play to be connected with the narrative of the official game. It would mess with the isolation and lonliness of the player character in a narrative sense and make the game just feel less dark (also why my short-lived idea for a Souls MMO style game was...well...short-lived). It would also cut down the whining about "cheap invader tactics" because if you wanted duels instead of invasions, they have a place for that and invasions would more solidly fit the role-playing aspect FROM designed the covenants for in the first place.
