Spiral Knights should have an arena where players can fight against player but for free.
Just like training hall, all the rule and the automatic revive when dead, but just allowing player actually can hit each other.
New arena with PVP allowed
That would be fun.
But Psycho, I think it wouldn't have capture points, time limits, or *shudder* Striker modules. And you wouldn't be able to get crowns or Krogmo Coins out of it, meaning you can't farm Mod Calibrators by letting your alt sit there scratching himself while you pummel his face in.
Also it would just be something to do when you're out of energy or bored of kicking Vanaduke in the nuts for an hour.
Can we still have snowballs and maybe some chairs to throw?

For the most part, that's not the issue with most PvP. They play PvP, so they ca play against other, non-AI players. Did you start playin SK for the cr? Probably not; you started because it looked fun. PvP looked fun to them, so they started. The tokens and stuff are bonus.
If this was added, a good chunk of PvP players would leave the arena to participate in the free one, simply because they don't need all the 'bonus' the other provided. Not many of them would have bothered capping in LD either, so not like they're going to miss that.
...
I shouldn't even need to say that this would then render LD and BN, the only PvP in the game, almost utterly useless, because there's a free version you can just duke it out with your friends in.
But I did.
Because evidently I do.
