1v1 duels aren't needed... if you want them, then there's other games with that sort of style. FFXIV doesn't need to follow the same path as other MMO's... Any 1v1 duel system will be open to abuse and people WILL find ways around blocks etc. Adding to blacklist... that seems to be the go to answer for everything nowadays. It shouldn't have to be.

For the record, this is the ONLY 'prospect' I have said 'no' to for XIV. It is NOT needed. Even in XI, there was Brenner and Ballista for PVP which worked well. In XIV we have one specific area for PVP and that's fine. The game is primarily PVE, NOT PVP... Dueling will just cause more aggravation for players who just want to PVE.
