I'm glad this thread got resurrected. It gives me hope for the community that there are people out there willing to stand up against the strange players of this game who think they are justified in arguing against adding what should be very basic and expected features of an mmo. The fallacy of "it will take away time from adding (insert unrelated need here)" has been debunked. A separate PvP dev team is already in place. The argument that "it violates my personal aesthetic desires/violates some sort of nonexistent community harmony trope" is of course nonsense. Those asking for duels have already said that disabling dueling in cities is not a problem.Just let us step outside of town and we can do it there, out in the fields. The attempts to equate dueling with universally hated aspects of that game like gil sellers is also of course a decoy from the real issue some have with dueling; the fear of being made to look foolish and unskilled in a video game. The solution to this has already been presented; create either a quest or unlock of some sort to enable dueling to those who are interested, and the inability to initiate a duel with a locked character. A toggle should also be included to disable this feature, indicating disinterest in duels. Its simple. If you still have a problem with dueling after this solution, which will completely and totally prevent you from being "forced" to duel anyone or even seeing a request, then i'm not sure what to say. After all that, if you are still so afraid of being mocked for not having it unlocked, to the point that you insist on no one else being able to do something in the game they would greatly enjoy, you need to get counseling for your emotional immaturity issues.
