Petition for a Dueling System

Not sure if its been mentioned here before but id really like to see some sort of Dueling System implemented in the game, i'm sure i'm not the only one with this idea as anyone who has ever played an MMO *cough "WOW" cough* probably has experienced this. Simply highlight a character press square or right click and scroll to the option. It would be a great way to kill time while waiting on DF or whatever and get some practice in for PvP.

What do you guys think?

If was only available to duel inside the Coliseum in Uldah (the little arena there) and nowhere else, then I'd say yes.

If you mean to duel anywhere, Then a big NO.

I like this idea and have been dreaming about a feature like this for a while now

Yes! Please! If other players dont like the idea of it in public areas for lag or whatever their reason, then sure, make a dedicated dueling area. But please implement dueling :)

Don't worry about balancing the game for 1v1 pvp, it would just be great fun

Also, please please please change the starting time in the Wolves Den to 45seconds, or a minute at the longest.. Possibly 30 seconds if you have a premade team (full team team queueing together)

Wolves' Den, sure. But open-world? HELL NO. ><

I hated that about other MMOs where some stupid brat with a chip on his shoulder keeps trying to pick a fight with me, which I ignore, and then proceeds to hassle me in whispers because I refused. I'm glad FFXI never had that nonsense, and I'm glad FFXIV doesn't as well. So please, no PvP dueling mode, unless it was specifically part of the Wolves' Den.

Hmm i can see where it would be a slight problem, i mean a massive amount of people dueling in a small area would create latency problems, but specific dueling areas are easily a fix for that. Also how about a 2v2 or 3v3 option in Wolves' Den?. I dont know it seems to me SE just got lazy and overlooked so many avenues.

We arent talking about open world pvp, ganking, etc. We just mean a formal duel request button, to have a friendly fight with a buddy.

There was nothing more annoying than to have a max level character spam you with duels as a level 5 in Goldshire.

That or when your trying to do something in the world, players continuously challenge you to annoy.

Recieving duel requests could be disabled via the options menu. Problem solved

Also am i the only one who thinks they should have added an unranked match mode aswell, personally i don't like my stats reflecting 30 losses and 5 wins because i pug my matches with randoms, i would like to feel comfortable playing unranked winning or losing before i get a party together or whatever and go ranked and have my stats affected permanently.

That would certainly deal with that issue.

I definately wouldn't say no to this :) but its just the perfectionist inside me, I could live without it. But sure hell yeah :D If it was that or dueling, i'd prefer dueling.

Also, queue times might suck for this game mode. Unless it matched you with regular games just without the win/loss on your record (and xp/marks).
