It's just how dueler's are. Since the game does not offer an arena and they refuse to group up in cryodill to play the way the game was intended, they organize 1v1 duel's. It's some wired MLG ego thing. These duelers think it requires the most skill so they will bash anyone who says otherwise and call you un-skilled/etc if you don't. When they are really limiting the game to specific builds that have no niche aspect to them. These duelers then try there hardest to destroy the rock paper scissors mentality in the game and make paper beat scissor's. A lot of the nerf/buff thread's you see today are solely based around dueling. However the classes weak solo are unreal in group's. This is why it must be hard for Zos to balance this game, so much hate towards the real mentality of the game and why i bought it (large scale battles).

If i were you who does not want to experience this again, go to a campaign with the most amount of people. Those are the campaigns where open world pvp is true and you kill on sight. Not this dueler garbage.

I've always been against the dueling mentality because it limits the variety in the game. I tend to play with a very unique playstyle most people would scoff at but i don't really care.

It's just something you need to learn to deal with. There will always be these player's around trying to boast they got skill. These player's will relize the game is alot more fun when you work together and create combo's in small scale pvp or large. Large scale pvp is favored currently but this game is still a work in progress.

As a solo ganker/large scale player, i have ton's of fun and it's really the dueler's who ruin it for me. To one their own though.

Later

I'm going take your advice and switch campaigns this seems like a good option these people in the arena district doing this are annoying i'm tired of dealing with them lol to many people ganking for me

Yes you are allowed to kill any enemy in this game which is more than fine and if you want to do that it's totally cool more power too you. That's how YOU like to play

Some people like to duel that's how THEY like to play and there is no 1v1 arena or area where they can do so. Maybe they chose the arena district to duel cuz of oblivion or cuz it's called the arena district it really doesn't matter. They like to duel some they do it there. While they should expect to be interrupted on occasion it is also fair for them to expect people to stop doing so if told. It's a matter of having a little maturity and respect.

There are multitudes of ways they let you know they are dueling beyond the obvious group of people of all factions standing around peacefully watching (duh). Shield bashing by your own faction, enemies jumping up and down, enemies standing still blocking while not attacking, area chat, messages. If that fails they stand around and let you get ganked. At that point you deserve it. That said calling names and sending nasty messages is a un called for.

They aren't bothering you so don't bother them. Live and let live. There are plenty of places (namely cyrodil) for you to run around and kill whoever you see. Also lately I've been in the arena district where they are dueling in front of the arena and there are full scale battles going on on either side at the same time without bothering each other.

I duel and I run cyrodil and kill everyone I see. Best of both worlds. Dueling helps you to learn to play your class and build, to counter, react, put pressure, time your burst etc. It has made me a much better pvp player both dueling and small group play. No skill required to run around cyrodil in a Zerg. Just need a resto staff or duel wield.

Dueling should be the norm. Not big team battle. Everyone knows what is more fun.

Lol. War-zone's a War-zone.

People are free to find a place to duel, but objecting to others playing in the manner the game is designed is absurd.

Players wanting to duel should move it to an unused area of cyrodiil. Their are plenty of places there. Having it in arena imperial city is short sighted knowing ppl will stumble upon it in that small area.

Also saying 98% of ppl want duels is incorrect. ZOS knows their player metrics and release dlc to cater to it. I don't see any dlc for duelling.

Well it is called an arena and is pretty easy to find / get to and respawn doesn't require running the horse simulator. On low pop campaigns it's fairly empty. So it does make sense considering ZOS hasn't made something for organized pvp fights.

So you're mad that they are mad that you interfere in a 1v1 duel? Then you're mad that they didn't help you when the other team killed you after you messed up the duel?

I was in the arena district and people keep getting mad at me and sending me harassing messages on psn calling me names and everything else people even of my own alliance i'm just playing the freaking game lol then i even get into a situation were people from my own alliance will just stand there and do nothing and watch me get ganked by 3 vs 1 has anyone else experienced this might as well make a duel option so these crybabys will shut up

but doesn't crying here make you said crybaby too

Also this one thinks they might be working on the achievement one gets for kills in that area specifically.

It's about respect. Your asked to stop and not interfere so don't. Otherwise your just acting like a petulant child. What's ABSURD is the lack of respect and common courtesy.

The only problem I have with it is how do you spot a dueller or not? And it goes both ways, for the non dueller and dueller. I've got no problem with it, and as for this being an open group war game, well, there's a thing called honour. ZOS don't force you to fight everyone.

If anyone duelling comes over and tries to gank me then they aren't duelling. If you actually see a red/yellow then TBH if they're not fighting mobs they are probably duelling.

If they were there to gank ya, you wouldn't see them till they hit you xD

i was there for dueling and yea it's suck to get hit by a Zerg and some people who don't get that we are dueling or just some *** who want to mess with it ... But we need a place for doing these duel and the arena is this place close respawn for all faction a lot of place for dueling. it's been a few months that people are asking for small scale pvp or even the duel option but no answers for zos so we made it . if u keep interfere in a duel with ur bow from the tower and go down to get a easy kill on a dueler who is low health well yeah ur gonna get gank after all the warning you got ( bash ,people telling u , and the fact that we were 3 faction on chair playing music and watching a duel ) .... Well u deserved that gank .But those message not so sure Oh I all most forgot if you did not wanted 3v 1. Why did you join us in those duel for 1v1. I don't get u bro

They all want that achievement! Kill 100 players in the Arena. Looks like ZOS never took the achievement out even though they cancelled the duelling arena early on in development.

The day questers in Cyrodiil are not ganked,
the day roleplayers are no longer riddiculed,
this discussion would make sense.

Cyrodiil is a war-zone, don't try to impose your will on others to make it something else.
Players of other fractions are prey. Get over it.
