What about people who managed to purchase Custom Arena Starter Kits due to a bug before? I know ANet said they will be usable when CAs get released but does it apply to beta too?

Yes they will be fully functional.

Hmm…

If Custom Arenas are replacing hotjoin and they cost money, and hotjoin is free…

This could potentially kill off the population of prospective PvPers that don’t have gems/lots of gold. This will truly make PvP quite a “small town.”

It doesn’t cost gems to play on a server, only to own one.

I realize custom arenas won’t be enabled for all players until some testing has been done. However, does that transition require a major patch, or can you just flip a switch at any time?

There will undoubtedly be fixes and polish tasks generated from beta. These will require a patch.
