I think Anet handled the dueling pretty well. Before we saw people complaining about dueling and then complaining about having to pay for dueling. Others were complaining about now wanting to have to deal with public dueling and duel requests.

With the custom arena system, there’s plenty of channels for people to duel in now, without them having to pay a penny. People can go there and beat the heck out of each other to their hearts content.

And the rest of us can ignore it completely.

I think it’s a pretty good compromise.

I would still like to see open dueling. Who is it a compromise for? People who can’t be bothered to select “decline” on the dueling prompt?

In the past (WoW) most of my dueling occured when 4/5 of my party members were at the instance waiting for the last member. It would be nice to be able to pass downtime by dueling, instead of having to port into a completely different part of the game.

Yeah, I agree. It was a nice timekiller.

Sure, including custom arenas might make dueling easier but PvP armor/build stats are boring to me and silly. I would prefer to use my WvW build.

There’s zero reason for not including dueling in this game. For people who are afraid to duel, just tick an option in the control panel that doesn’t allow for duel requests.
