Thank goodness FFXIV limits dueling to a specific location.
ESO sadly added 1v1 duels as well. As expected, they happen constantly in area's people need to move through / go to / etc so cause a lot of graphical clutter throughout towns. Not only that, they did also have to add in the 'auto decline' option because as expected... ppl would spam everyone with duel request's - you couldn't port into a city and get to the shops without having to spam click "decline" from ppl spamming duel request's.

And yes, when the auto-decline happened... some resort to being offensive and rude in general/zone chat about it.

To those who say "just block them!" - the block list is of limited size, so depending on just how many ppl end up being jerks... you might have a filled block list, especially if you also block gil selling bots (I do, then clear the block list every 3-4 months).

And to the "Oh noes, something shouldn't be added because you don't like it!" person... I reverse that and say - why should this be added just because you like it? I admit I've always rolled my eyes at this type of argument... because it applies equally to both sides, yet the ppl who push this nonsense never seem to see that fact.
