The ability to duel other players, without any significant impact but purely a test of skills, or to try out your build with a friend.

    In other games it gets really annoying to have people keep coming up and inviting you to duel when all you wanna do is get to town to sell your crap

    PVP is contained to 1 zone for a reason. There are those who want to grief and those who want to be left alone. Pvp is tightly controlled and should stay that way. :#

    There are more pressing matters atm, but. . . . . .

    Assuming you mean duel, as in someone of your alliance, yes, I would be okay with that. It allows you to test builds and learn strategies from friends, family, guildmates, and even lets those RP'ers, rp.

    If you mean, duel in a separate little instance, and include other alliances, no.

    And yes, it can be annoying if someone constantly spams you for duel requests, but that is what /ignore is for, and is no different than many other methods used to annoy players.

    I would imagine that there would be a setting for auto decline duels. Every MMO I have ever played had an option to decline duels. A user that wanted to be "left alone" wouldn't even know that a duel request had been issued.

    They have dueling in Cyrodiil. Instead of ganking someone, stand up, let them see you, now you have your duel.

    There's just bigger things to fix right now. PvP needs all the people it can get since it's a major part of the game.

    I could see dueling or arena style in the future. After the game has grown and matured some. So long as they leave stats/ranks/rewards out of it I don't think it would be a problem.

    I'm for dueling with no random duel requests. Duels should be limited to someone "flagging" for a duel that another player has to interact with in order to start the duel.
    As I was going out one day,
    My head fell off and rolled away.
    And when I saw that it was gone,
    I picked it up and put it on.

    I've said No although I'm not altogether against it as long as there's a specific place for it. If there were dueling arenas that would be fine. On the other hand it would be really irritating if you kept getting duelling requests when you're questing or in the city.

    NO dueling its for kiddie's only, no reason to have this option at all. Don't say it to test your skills, that is total baloney.

    Yes, mainly for the following reasons:

    - Testing builds and skills
    - Practicing against friends

    I've always wished this was in, though I wouldn't call it a high priority. Obviously auto-declining would be something that should be there,in which case there would be no downside for people who didn't want to participate. As an RPer I'm always a little disappointed when I can't just crack someone in the face when necessary.

    The ability to duel (start PvP battle regardless of relative factions and other circumstances, without outside interferece) does belong to any MMO. And I am not even going to use it myself.
    Asuming there are proper ways to auto-ignore invites (or maybe even a "opt in" approach where you have to flag yourself before you can even be invited) is see no reason this cannot happen at it's due time.
    If addon get a way to answer duel requests (like we can with group or guild), there would not even be any need for a new option to disable it.

    I agree that without any active opt-in there should better be no archviements or quest for fighting/winning duels. Otherwise people who just want to go on will get swamped with Duel requests from peopels trying to "get it done". Maybe put Duel Archievemnts on Account level instead of Character level.
    Also, very important: Show the Class and Level of players that try to invite you. I know at least 1 MMO where they forgot this very important information.

    It's is also worthing thinking if people who enter a Duel should get the Cyrdodly buff for equalized chances and how this could interact with PvE situations.
    Maybe only allow this in certain areas without PvE content for the beginning. Ideally realyl small instances where each group of Duelants get's thier own instanced arena to fight in.

    I feel like a system like I mentioned, similar to that in DCUO, is a perfect way to do it. Only people that feel like dueling will be then and nobody gets any sort of requests other than the people that flagged for it.

    I would love to see this in ESO.
    I want to mess around with friends, challenge them, and get some action.
    My husband and me are more from the pvp side of life, and yup, we want to fight each other from time to time ingame, it's fun and a good way to test builds.

    A kind of "Fightclub" area would be nice too, but not needed that much, seeing how empty it is in TSW...

    Just reading through old threads and commenting highlighting that dreams do come true and they added it. No harm done.
