It's helpful to let folks know what server you plan on doing this on

Two things:
1) You didn't mention which server you would be doing this on.
2) You might mention to the players that show up that F2P can't get IO drops so they won't be too disappointed.
Oops corrected lol.
No offense, but that sounds neither "noob friendly" nor "low level" when you say exemped to 31 and "you can and should bring a 50."

It is certainly low level due to the fact that it isn't level 50.|

When I say "noob" I mean those new to pvp. I expect most players have some decked out PVE spec'd toon.
When I do these events there is a ton of KSing going on which is supposed to happen.
Everyone gets multiple kills unless you are just plain not trying.
Bring your best ranged damage dealer and you are guaranteed to have fun.
ookay...
I'd call it more "mid level." If someone says "low level noob friendly," I'd look more at the "Level 4 PVP" events that used to be held. "Low level" to me would be pre-SOs (level 20 and under, really.) Say, level 15 ("real" vs exemped, to avoid the exemped people having a power availability advantage) DO only.
But, w/e, not going to argue with definitions. Hope you have fun.
Thanks

3) F2P players can't get prizes either. Of course anyone can go Premium by buying $5 or more worth of points.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
I saw 'low level' and I thought 'hm, this might be fun'.
Then I saw 'bring a 50'. Nope, that's not low-level.

Bring a 50 doesnt mean you MUST bring one. He is saying that to the vip players, so they have a chance to net lvl 50 pvp drops. That and they are more likely to have a ready 50 there.
Banning four archetypes isn't newbie friendly.
You just want an event with lots of killable targets for you & your buddies.

Walking into a PVP zone for the first time and having HD and TS on while being spammed with spirit sharks and CS can be discouraging especially when you can't fight back. So, I decided to start doing arena events set to level 31 every other night.
And to those criticizing the "low level PVP" thing, the nature of PVP is that people are going to bring level 50s so I encouraged anyone else who would be participating to bring level 50s. Though we did have some level 30ish toons onboard who did really well.
Long story short everyone involved had a blast and stayed for a few rounds.
This isn't serious PVP. It is is easy going PVP in a controlled environment where everyone can and will get kills. Simple as that.
Excuse me for trying to spark some interest in PVP.

All this type of response will do is get you more of the same.

Hope you guys have a blast man and gj trying to get more people interested in PvP.

30ish is low enough for decent PvP; most everyone in that range should have a better compliment of powers than at lower levels and its better to be exemped down than up for similar reasons.
Glad that you're being proactive about PvP instead of a detractor. Mix it up a bit from time to time and you may have a hit on your hands.

@Xanatos we banned tanks and brutes because the event basically was a ton of squishies getting kills and being killed. I died like 20 times and got like 20 kills of course im exagerrated but you get my point. In six runs I did get a PVP drop and a few others did too. Nothing special.
@Yogi yeah, ive been thinking of ways to really make this interesting and enjoyable for PVE players as well.
Thanks everyone for you input! Next time I will be more specific.
FREEDOM SERVER
8PM EST
The Siren's Call crew and myself are running some F2P and new to PVP friendly Free for All arena matches.
The format is as follows:
The event is set to lvl 31 (I should also note that you CAN and SHOULD bring a lvl 50. It will just be exemped to level 31.)
There are no teams
The event is free for all
Inspirations are not allowed
Travel Supression is turned off (if this is your first time PVPing it won't matter to you.)
Heal Decay is turned off (if this is your first time PVPing it won't matter to you.)
Stalkers, Brutes, Scrappers, and Tanks ARE NOT allowed.
The reason for these rules.
The entire point of this is for players to have an increased chance to get kills and to get pvp io drops (which are very valuable for both pvp players and pve players some are worth 2bill+)
We did this the other night and it was extremely fun. I put a strong filter on the people we PVP with so it will be fun for everyone. Trash talk is not allowed. We are doing this for fun mainly. So please come out and join us.
Where to meet:
Siren's Call 8pm EST
I'm @AresSupreme
Siren's Call is accessible from Sharkhead Isle Redside and Steel Caynon Blue side. A red dot on your map. I may hand out prizes tonight depending on the turnout.
*note that f2p players can't get pvp drops*
