I like the layout of this thread. 10/10

You can already enter into a 1v1 PvP match with someone.
And you can enter the mists from anywhere.

As long as it’s not in Open World zones (sans some special arena type area), I’ve got no issue with Dueling.

only in arena’s, yes
in open world, NO FRIKIN WAY

I can think of no reason why there shouldn’t be dueling. I’m game for any activity we can do while hanging around between quests and farms.

Seeing randoms dueling in WOW was a fun little spectacle as you ran through an area. Seems a natural addition to PVE frankly.

toxicity of players, harassments, whisper spam, emails with words that makes this forum a kitten bomb (<not done by a filter), events getting ruined, players belittling, the list go’s on.

i am not going in to details because we already have a huge thread about this, it’s a dead horse dug deep and drowned with salt watter still being beaten by earth wurms.

Generally, refusing to add a feature because of the toxic minority is a bad argument. By that mentality, not adding text chat would be a great feature.

Just put a costume brawl totem in the Pvp lobby near the waypoint.

We both know those are two extremely different things. I can see why they don’t want to add dueling. Every MMO I’ve played that includes dueling, gets really frustrating for people who don’t WANT to duel. If people really want to duel, there’s groups that meet up in WvW and PvP for that.

Those issues could be solved with a simple solution.
Add an option to disable/enable duel requests.

^ Support of the above idea for an auto-deny checkbox.
In fact, MOST games have such a feature. If you aren’t interested in being invited to parties, guilds or duels, they each have a checkbox you can just tick to have invitations automagically declined on your behalf.

It’s simple.

And it really isn’t drastically different. I would rather have duels and no chat than a chat and no duels. At least WITH duels, I have something to do while bored. WITH chat, I’m exposed to all of the evil toxicity of everybody else, hooonooo.

Maybe they will add duels eventually, Idk. I personally don’t see much reason to.

Duels and no chat…funny lol.

I said this the last time a dueling thread came up but I’ll repeat it here. Dueling does not seem to fit with ANet’s vision of the game. Everything is designed around teamwork and cooperation. Even though PvP breeds a more harsh environment it’s still around working as a team.

The only kind of dueling I would be OK with is maybe converting an area of the Mists to have little arenas that 2 players can enter and fight. I want nothing to do with open world dueling. Even if a auto-deny feature were added, it’s very existence could lead to obnoxious players following you around spamming “why u deny? U scareded!? Fight me bro!” and other such nonsense. The reason you see it so much less text abuse in GW2 than other MMOs is because it’s designed to not be competitive.

Confining it to one area of PvP would also make them able to make clear boundaries. If you’ve ever joined a dueling server you’ve probably run into “that guy” who just runs out of the arena or kites around corners when they start losing. They could also limit/disallow elites if they wanted.

I don’t want anyone to be able to do X because in my mind there is a chance it might lessen my experience doing Y.

Pretty much. With a good dose of, “Jerks aren’t jerks, gameplay with potential be used by jerks make jerks.”
