DEV REQUEST:DUEL/SPAR system

[Gilraen]

I don't think anyone has a problem with duels, just not open world duels. The little arena in Ul'dah, Wolves' Den, by all means please. Duel to your heart's content. But leave me, and everyone else not interested, out of it.

The thing is, this is just something to screw around with and people want, If you don't want it than just don't do it, only 'real' reason would be harassment but again that's easy to avoid.

Doing it in restricted areas takes the fun out of it as well, half the fun of dueling is being able to make your arena within the games world. Restricted areas or not there isn't a real reason for it not to be added, not something intended to earn tomes or prizes with anyway.

Append: Open world PvP is the reason I don't play alot of MMOs. Forcing it on me isn't going to change my mind on the matter.

Who is forcing it on you?

Who is forcing it on you?

It changes some of the tone and attitude of much of the community making it much more confrontational and competitive. That much would be forced on everyone regardless if they participate or not.

I mean, that is a real question. If you mean you get offended by "seeing" someone fight, then please grow up. (If you don't, then ignore this!) There are many things in the world a lot worse.

Anyways, they were talking about adding contested content to the game. Which is PvP, so I guess if that offends you you should probably quit anyways.

Although, you might as well quit now because crafting is already a sort of "PvP" since your selling your goods versus other players. Does that offend you?

Not that i'm telling you to quit for real. I just don't see why people play games when they don't have fun, and get offended when other people have fun.

Competition is human nature, and it is already competitive. Look at raids.

The forums are confrontational and they are part of the game, as you can see. Things on the forums can change how the game works. So its already a thing.

As a role-player, I see fighting every single day pretty much. Although its from role-playing if we had a feature like this it could enhance my role-play experience and make it more immersive. Although it could also make it less so if people have characters who don't use the skills. However it could be useful for events, instead of spamming chat with emotes you could just have spars and fights.

I don't think anything gets more confrontational and competitive than hardcore raiding in this game. Dueling is something just to help pass the time.

Yeah, I think its safe to say there's nothing really at stake with a sparring system.

I'll be here all week.

I'll be here all week.

So by your insistence we would be segregated to smaller venues?
