DEV REQUEST:DUEL/SPAR system

You seem to have missed the point. I haven't really seen any PvP drama inside PvP.

Well, good for you I guess. My point is still the same: people don't see raid drama in the open world because raids are contained within raids. Same thing is true for PvP. That would change if PvP became possible in the open world.

Player verses Player is already possible in the open world, it's called Triple Triad. How many times have you seen people talking smack over Triple Triad? Ever?

Though really, lets stop pretending that the elitist attitude from raids doesn't leak out of instances and into Mor Dhona. I've seen plenty of Party Finder groups presumably gone wrong erupt into argument in Mor Dhona. I've seen plenty of (presumably) "notoriously bad" players shouting at each other.

I also don't really see how it would change if there was something like a PvPr requirement. People simply wouldn't be able to challenge you if you don't PvP. That pretty much makes Duels something solely for PvPers.

To be honest, I see a lot of people in Revenant's Toll bad-mouthing each other about PF groups. For example people shout: "Don't join so and so's clear party because they ain't gonna clear anything." You see drama like this all the time.

A lot of smack talk happens in open world PVE too. People pull S ranks and A ranks too early or even reset them, and as a result there's a whole cacophony of drama.
