My reason is I want to try my builds to my friend or anyone at anytime.
Why not in spvp? Cuz it has ranking or more like competitive win rate score (the reason why I haven’t tried one).
and both in WvW or spvp, everyone is hungry for kill, so neither one can be a good place to try for builds.
I’m still new to this game, if anyone might know if there is a way or it has been there already, pls tell me
-10,000,000. No to open world dueling UNLESS it has an opt-out feature that is enabled by default.
That’s not far enough. Open world duelers must also travel to a remote, isolated location so I never have to see them or read their map chat-bragging or trash talking. Furthermore, there has to be a sub-forum here for people to complain about how overpowered the class that just beat them is or how underpowered their own class is, with any complaints of class balance stemming from duels not posted in said sub-forum resulting in an infraction.

Then mailing and whispering should only work in a remote, isolated location so I don’t have to worry about beggars and gold spammers. I don’t want to read their incessant begging for gold. I don’t want to read that they are poor and I don’t want to be harassed when I say no to give them gold. I don’t want to be harassed by gold spammers either.

There is already a subforum and it is already full of complaints. Stop pretending that these don’t exist already.

This game is NOT balanced for dueling. It is balanced for team play. So, different professions would faceroll others in a duel. Dueling is part of the game in sPvP. Want to duel, do it there not in the PvE areas.
Want duels? Obsidian Sanctum. Seriously, though it’s empty most of the time, once a high profile GvG is announced, people will go there early and duel to kill time before a GvG.
Rules are simple: fight ’til down (not dead) and then back off. /bow @ to initiate a duel.

I would be slightly less against open world dueling with these conditions. ALL of these conditions.
It is a mode that is off by default.
People in mode on cannot whisper anyone not in party/guild/maybe mutual friends.
People in mode cannot use /M /T or any other wide area chat except party/guild People in mode can be killed at any time by people not in mode with impunity
Once turned on mode cannot be turned off for at least 1 hour, would prefer 24 (or maybe only in specially defined areas, like the Determined buff you get when in your base in WvW, you can only turn it on when inside the dueling arena)
Duel harassment is a reportable offense, with possible 3 day bans for repeat offenders.
Honestly I don’t really care what other people get up to, as long as they leave me out of it. I don’t want to get PK’d, TK’d etc.
I don’t want someone following me around pestering me into fighting/taunting me for not being interested.

There is absolutely no evidence to support that it would.” -AnthonyOrdon
I don’t want someone following me around pestering me into fighting/taunting me for not being interested.
The exact concern and reason as to why this will NEVER happen.
I would not be apposed to them turning specific small areas into “Duel Zones”. The Breach in Black Citadel comes to mind as a possibility. Or maybe some dedicated instanced arenas (similar to the arena areas in Borderlands).
Per above, as long as I don’t have to see, hear or be aware of it, duel away.

-1. Game is doing just fine without it, and no-one yet has proven that even a barely passable majority have any interest in it.
Keep that “logic” out of these forums. No one can prove that the majority of players are for/against dueling without using anecdotal evidence.
Such terrible overreacting in these dueling threads.
Not sure your “logic” about what to keep out of the forums is in anyway needed either.
The overreaction is due to continual posting (over and over) of the same ideas by the same basic segment of the player base. I’d also say he is quite correct that a vast majority of player do NOT want this type of option in Open World zones and his evidence IS the vast majority of negative reactions to these types of threads (tho assuming the forum goers are representative of the overall playerbase is far from accurate). There is already 2 game modes that allow for PvP and the majority of those that are PvE only players are NOT interested in competitive 1v1 gameplay in the least.

Yes please, would really like an organised duelling feature – city based arenas or open world (of course with the ability to opt out and ignore for haters).
Custom arenas are not the solution – I am certainly not willing to pay a fairly large amount of gold every so often, just for the opportunity to duel. If this is the case, players should be “taxed” in every area of the game to support the servers.
Also custom arenas have a limited amount of population and too much waiting time.
Obsidian sanctum is… ok, but kind of like the underground fight club.
Always so much hate whenever duelling is mentioned – I really don’t understand why players don’t like this feature, especially if there is the option in the menu to block/ignore all incoming duel requests.
As for rude whispers – well that feature already exists – right click, block. Simple as that.

Already have ARENAS in the PvP area. Make one, invite who you want to duel – have fun.
Grabbing a Custom Arena isn’t exactly expensive if you really like to duel. Share the cost with your friend. I see comments about how PvE should cost something too, well it does, it’s not free to gear up properly, using waypoints and such adds up as well. It is however kinda free to engage in sPvP.
If you want to duel, a Custom Arena may be just the thing you want.

I don’t want beggars following me around pestering me into giving them gold for not being kind.
This is why Gold needs to be removed.
You post this same thing in all the duel threads. Just because something is in place that gives an opportunity for people to pester others doesn’t mean they should add another way to do so.

So, they should remove gold then? Because being pestered = bad. If not, what should I do to the beggars that keep begging me for gold? Because this problem makes me want gold to be completely removed from the game.

You even admit that the forums are not an accurate representation for player opinions. I’m not saying the majority supports dueling, I’m just saying that it’s pointless to even bring up and highlights how quick people are to ignore any of the acceptable ways dueling could be implemented in this game. I’m not here to take away your PvE. Put me in the mists to duel, but don’t make me pay gold/rl money to do so and don’t make me coordinate server transfers to duel in the Obsidian Sanctum. That’s all I ask. I just want to test some stuff out.

Regarding the fee for an arena – people seem to forget that you’re not earning big money if doing 1v1 regularly, therefore the cost is significant.
And subsequently to afford it you’d have to run some pve or wvw content – which, surprise surprise, you need gear for – which costs gold for the usual full exotic at the very least, plus food…
I stand by my statement – custom arenas are NOT the solution in their current form.
Obsidian Sanctum is the best thing we have for duelling, however it’s not exactly Piccadilly Circus in rush hour… you spend a lot of time standing around waiting for the handful of players that turn up every now and then.

I’m missing the part where the FAQ’s said dueling will never exist. All this said is dueling does not currently exist. So… because something does not currently exist that means it should never? Do Guild Halls fall under this category?
If anything, the “owners of this intellectual property” have already expressed an interest in implementing dueling, “Currently, dueling other players in the world has not been implemented but it has been mentioned several times as possible upcoming feature.” This is from http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP
Not saying Arenanet is currently in support of dueling, but until they say anything else (or if anyone could find a more recent statement on the implementation of dueling that’d be great) we can’t 100% tell either way.
Sorry to bump this argument further, but saying that the FAQ’s prove Arenanet has already answered “No” to the possibility of dueling is incorrect.

AS A.NET has said in the past, this game is not balanced for 1 vs. 1 and it is especially NOT balanced wihile using PvE items. The only way to balance the whole game is to have PvP – which duleing is BTW, in PvP and PvE by itself.
from GW2 WIKI
“Player versus Player
Primary article: Player versus Player Is there any type of Open World PvP? No, there is no open world PvP of any kind, this includes dueling. If you wish to fight against a player, you must do so in custom arenas. If you wish to participate in large scale battles against other servers, then World versus World would be the closest thing to open world PvP.
What types of PvP will be available?
Currently, the game includes two types:
World versus World — huge, ongoing battles in the Mists between uneven groups of players of different levels.
Structured PvP has two major types: tournament play, similar to guild battles in Guild Wars — this pits two evenly matched teams against each other; and pick-up play where individual players or groups can pick games to join based on available space, map and other settings.11
In addition, certain activities are also considered PvP, e.g. bar brawling and snowball fights."
This should put an end to this thread. No to dueling in PvE areas.
For a very specific quote, you must have a link somewhere.
LOOK, you asked for his proof, he gave it and now you attack the makers for not making a new posting saying the same thing with a current date(because nothing will change in that wiki post) that you call ancient. GEEZ, the makers themselves could come here and sa uniquvically that it’s not going to happen and you guys would still want proof. -LOL
I understand you were joking in that last sentence but you’re wrong. The fact is, dueling has never been completely ruled out (if anyone finds an official statement that contradicts me please let me know so I can minimize my idiocy). Go check out the http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP page.
“Currently, dueling other players in the world has not been implemented but it has been mentioned several times as possible upcoming feature.”
If Arenanet said “We will never implement/have no plans to implement dueling.” I’d shut up.
Dueling will never be implemented in the open world because it annoys too many people. The response against it is too vocal. Anet has gone out of their way to make a COOPERATIVE PvE experience rather than a competitive one. All competitive things in this game are walled of in their own areas, including minigames.
The only way it will be implemented is in it’s own area, because logically, it’s the best compromise Anet can make.
