I think it's bad design more than anything else. I agree there should be a place for players to attack/ambush enemy "travellers", but at least they could have made it more interesting.
Like this: the dock could be a tower with high level guards (ie. a small safe spot). The distance from the nearest keep to the dock should be a little longer, and with a variety of routes. A fast/risky way across a bridge and through a dense forest, and a safer/longer way through a large ruin or something, rather than the current flat terrain and large underwater areas. This would make it a much more fun "arena" to fight in, and once you get to the dock/tower you can buy a ticket without having to worry about archers etc.
