For lack of a better word the simple answer is this game has the most carebear player population of any mmo. Most ff players are VERY pve/rp/story centric people and most of them are here exactly because they hate pvp so much they don't like most other mmo's that provide a much more robust pvp system. So any talk of any kind of pvp in ff brings out the fear factor 10 fold in them. They don't like anything that would be considered "aggressive" type of play. So even something as simple as adding dueling truly frightens them and ruins their sense of "safety". I know this because i consider myself more of a carebear than a pvp type player myself so i know what they are thinking. However I see no problem with dueling/pvp as long as the game doesn't require me in any way shape or form to have to be involved in it. Honestly that's really my only grip with pvp in mmo's, when it starts to turn into a " if i don't pvp i can't progress my character" situation OR "if i don't pvp i can't get the best gear" that's a problem in my book. As long as it's a separate entity and i can choose whether or not i want to be involved in it such as battle grounds/dueling ect.. I have no issue with it and in fact sometimes enjoy it.
