actually i've heard it's because while /duel requests can be blocked, you can't necessarily block the people dueling in public spaces, so they'd need to create separate instances, which would put a strain on the servers and kinda go against the epeen value of a duel in the first place.
Basically it's either a little work for something that would just annoy players, or too much work for something no one would ever use.
