So yes, children. Don't like that, then don't act like it. P.S. Don't speak for the majority of people, because you are NOT, and that is extremely insulting.

*I* wouldn't mind PVP duels. It might even be fun. I used to do it from time to time in older games and games that allow it I always give it a shot and rarely turn one down.
However, what *I* want isn't the issue here. What the COMMUNITY wants and what the DEVS want is what's important.
This game did not have PVP from the start. It is not a PVP-centric game. PVP is completely an afterthought. The devs clearly don't care about it, and you see more posts complaining about EYE COLOR than you do about the lack of PVP on this game's forums.
Therefore, it stands to reason that PVP isn't a big priority among players either.
Now, let me guide you to my thought processes on why OPEN WORLD PVP duels would be a bad idea.
What is the most annoying thing Dragoons do in the open world?
Ring of Thorns. It's loud and obnoxious.
What is the most annoying thing players do?
Emote spam.
What do duels involve?
Way more than ring of thorns. Things that are noisy and flashy.
What does open world PVP dueling allow? Dueling in towns.
What you are basically asking for is another tool to allow people to be annoyed, while offering no benefit beyond QoL and ePeen measuring contests.
There IS a solution, however, using instancing. But this would involve developer and server resources which are already limited, and with the classes unbalanced the resources simply would not be worth the time at this point.
part of being an adult is knowing you can't have everything you want.
