Thanks for sharing that memory. I have a few of my own but couldn't put them so beautifully.
You should remember that PvP wasn't "prohibited", it was "contained." You could PvP within the boundaries of an arena. Some would say that it was limited or gimped, but making it so that only those who wanted to do it could was a wise decision indeed.
You mean there actually was PvP in Wish?
I don't remember PvP being possible, in arenas or anywhere else. Rose-colored glasses, I suppose. I have yet to see a game that allows PvP which doesn't encourage sadism at the same time, but that's an issue that will eventually warrant its own thread.
I do remember a dozen threads in the Wish forums started by people demanding that PvP be added to the game, FFA PvP if possible. I went to every one of those threads and stated my objections as strongly and clearly as I could. But again, I don't remember it being available ingame, probably because I had zero motivation to go looking for it.
