Duels are a cool idea, but it's not executed particularly well imho. Regardless of whether you've seen someone be mad about not getting to participate, the fact that it's only ever one person who gets to participate creates an unnecessary social pressure that does make people who would otherwise enjoy them back out instead. I know it did discourage me. Because if I fail, it feels like I deprived someone else of the place where they could've done better. ...I also didn't feel like farming the actions, but that's a whole another topic

WoW had a similar concept in the Brawler's Guild - you had one on one fight with a boss, and had other people watching on. The crucial difference was, that everyone there has their own progress through the guild, and the only thing you need to do, is to queue up. If you fail there, it's not a big deal, because everyone gets their turn in the ring and their chance to progress. Plus no exclusive action prerequisites.
