Could we get some small sort of PvP before 2.0? Dueling maybe?

No, I hate the idea of PvP, and I want it to stay away from this game for as long as possible.

As fun as it would be always losing to a THM, CNJ or ARC, I'll pass.

Even though I think Thaum (and probably to a lesser extent Con) would dominate the scene if PvP were implemented immediately without any adjustments, having played PvP in games before I can safely say there will definitely be ways to kill off mages as a melee. Once PvP hits the game all sorts of new interesting abilities will probably come right along with it, such as the ability to pull enemies in to close range, stun, silence, etc.

You also have to consider you'll have friends. In Aion I loved rocking out my Cleric while a friend stayed close in stealth as Ranger. Once you start looking at multiple jobs combining efforts, the strategy and teamwork aspect really start to shine (and I feel sorry for anyone who's not PvPing with some good communication like Teamspeak).
