Duel option?

I am sad I am unable to duel my friends whenever they torment me or wave some super special awesome item that I need in my face.

Dueling with wagers against friends or for REASONS! is fun! I miss this feature in game...

Sure we have PVP, but I also find dueling friends a good way to test a new build, and work out what works best for you without jumping into the deep end.

    (I'm suggesting this feature with the ability to turn off duelling as players spamming you with requests can be a big problem)

    I want to add this into the first post, but cannot apparently I need a category...

    Why bother, really? PvP in this game is dead. Really poor PvP design.

    1. Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run
    2. Die
    3. Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run-Run
    4. Die
    5. If not leave Campaign, Go To 1.

    I vote yes, but only because I would hope for an option to "auto decline" duels.

    Definitely been my experience to an extent. I like the idea of having a HUGE pvp zone, but it is A LOT of running and I have been putting nothing but speed into my horse since launch.

    I say bring it on, duel me every five minutes. At least better than sitting around trolling zone chat.

    Have you ever PVP'd as a healer in WoW?

    I just assumed PVP worked like that in most games unless you were... Well good at it. In to which I am terrible, but I still find it fun.

    Give us an option to "auto decline" and keep it out of major town hubs and away from way-shrines. Nothing irritates me more than to see people "dueling" each other flopping and bouncing around like a bunch of jackrabbits.

    I think we should be able to duel...auto decline would be nice so you never get asked...

    It could just respond to the player asking (Not Interested)

    Seconded! I'd go further -auto-decline should be the default setting for all new players/alts as there is little that has annoyed me about other MMOs more than being in the middle of a quest/mission in an essentially PVE area and being suddenly barraged with duel challenges from some donkey's hindquarters who won't take 'No' for an answer.

    And the bouncing thing was number 8 on my 5-point list of reasons why I needed to give up on WoW in 2010. (It was originally supposed to be a 5 point list, but when I really thought about what other players were doing to hack me off it kinda got away from that vision. :p )

    I would definitely like to see dueling. An auto decline option would be great. Personally, I would love to see an arena style system/guild/skill line. There are already pits, training grounds, and arenas in game and I think it would be great to see these used as dueling zones. Once a duel is accepted, the players are ported to the nearest arena zone, and that can count as a bit of time to be sure they are in the proper mood for the duel. There should also be a few seconds there to make sure specs are in order... Players could compete in circuits to become the grand champion of their faction, completing and beating victors and trials in different zone's arenas. Any skills should be based on tiers and not skillpoints, as a fluid system would work to enforce said tiers.
    Just a few thoughts.

    A better dueling system would be one that uses the Arena in the Imperial City. You can only duel if you go there, so no one would be able to spam invites in normal questing zones. And in the arena you can watch other people's matches and place bets.

    yeah, that sounds totally awesome!

    lets take a game with already bad balance, and unique class design, with a PvP system that is oriented towards large scale battles and insert a system to allow people to whine even more about the differences between the classes.

    um...let's not. they have enough issues atm that the next year of this game will be most likely balance tweaks and game changing updates. They even put the release of the console version off till they can get a handle on things in game. last thing we need is to double the amount of whine threads because 12 yr old player A got beat by 12 yr old Player B and he wants player B's class to be nerfed.

    Its been something that bugged me for years. I know its MMO, its multiplayer, but ... not one MMO has a PvP option for 1v1, and i dont mean just duel, i mean the whole enchilada, rewards and everything you gain from PvPing in general. Everysingle one of the MMOs only rewards mass PvP, the only reward you get from 1v1 is "yay i beat that guy".
    Everysingle time you have to rely on teammates to be successful in PvP ... make a PvP option where you just have to rely on your own skills to be successful ... how hard can it be?

    If they include an auto-decline and ignore defaulted to on, perhaps I would agree to it... it's not bed enough that you get spammed with requests to Duel by those who want to measure their ePeen, but then you have to listen to them cluck like chickens or some other snide comments, hence I added the ignore... perhaps an "Instant Kill" Synergy is offered to the victim of Duel Spamming... Second request in x seconds "Hit X to Instant Kill the prat"
    Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most...

    You have 3 stars next to your name. You know this is happening already. There are more "nerf this or that" threads on these forums than anything else. Even if there were more complaints as a result of duels, it would be a single drop in the bucket.
