1v1 bro i swear 2 gawd on me mums i'll rekt you m8
I dont think this is a good idea. 1v1s are not balanced. A bunch of people are just gonna flood the forums and cry about balance cuz they can't win 1v1... I'll probably be one of them! Don't do it yoshi... you're openin a can of worms!
Ah, the old "1v1s aren't balanced" nonsense...
If X v Y isn't a balanced fight that you can win, you know what you can do? Not accept that duel request!
The entire concept exists for practice and for fun. I see no reason duels should have any rewards attached, half the point is so we can, for example, have a healer v dps duel to practice and get better at healer (or melting healers). They're not meant to, nor should they ever be balanced. Practicing in a 1v1 is much better than jumping into Seize/Feast and practicing in an environment where you can cost your team a win. If they work their own balancing for 1v1, then nothing is learned that can be transfered to the real PvP modes...
Abuse is the only problem, and it is easy enough to fix... Anyone who starts gloating over unbalanced 1v1 matches is an idiot and earns as spot on my BList, or I'll just switch Job so they're at a disadvantage so I can shut them up, or just melt them from the Job I'm at a disadvantage on to prove a point... Can't imagine someone who actually acts like that will be particularly good at PvP...
1v1 isn't balanced in any game, but it's still fun to do. Although I don't envy the people who will get stuck with healer vs healer, or tank vs healer fights if it is a DF 1v1 system.
Hopefully they just implement open-world duels rather than instancing it. I think that it brings a lot of awareness and excitement to PvP when you do it in a heavily trafficked area. Take outside Org in WoW for example - there are always duels going on there and every player has seen it. It exposes everyone to PvP and draws people into it. It adds a sense of community.
