Just A Small, Stupid Thing

While I hate dueling, and personally will not take part in such a pointless mechanic that awards us nothing but 'bragging rights'.. I don't mind other people having the option to do so.

Thing is, it's annoying in cities. They are already laggy enough with the influx of people that are walking around that don't even technically belong in the faction. (Hint: Bananas in Wayrest.. Makes no sense from a lore perspective.) Now we have spells flinging in all directions and lagging even me, with a very beefy computer, out where I can't get dungeon dailies and enjoy the game. I am forced to sit down and wait until children get the hard on to go away.. Because, thankfully, dueling ends up dying out of popularity, just a matter of time and patience.

All I am going to suggest, @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom : Can we please get the dueling out of Wayrest and other hubs like that that have the Undaunted Enclaves? Oh, and not in the Inns and stuff, for RP reasons, to just keep a good chunk of people from fleeing the game.

TL:DR : I would love to see dueling taken out of cities and 'indoor' places so that even us with beefy computers are not crapped on. We want to play the game without seeing spells flung that lock us down.

Why are you so afraid of what others are going to say about you? ***'em and feed'em fish eggs.

    I made the mistake of logging off in Mournhold before the update, and despite me rejoining within a few minutes of the servers being back up it was already its crowded self -- whoever decided that putting the Wayshrine, Undaunted, and the marketplace within a few feet of each other was a good idea needs a stern talking to, but I digress -- and on top of the usual congestion and people firing off healing spells and stuff just because you've got to have something to do while you wait in line there were several duels taking place (one pair in particular seemed to just have a duel, the loser would respawn, and they'd immediately start again) and it made the area even more annoying than usual.

    Maybe not allow duelling when you're in any area that has its own map? That way it's easy for people who want to duel to know where they can do it, and it's equally easy for those of us who want to avoid the spectacle to know when we're safe.

    Disable dueling within towns/cities/undaunted enclaves/etc.

    Quite simple tbh. It's perhaps the only part of dueling I do not look forward to.
