    I think there's value in making the dueling area an ilvl synced zone, if only to maintain consistency between it and existing instanced PvP areas. Dueling is just a fun thing to do on the side after all, so another benefit would be being able to test things out in the same stat and gear environment you would be in the instanced modes.

    I'm not sure how easy or hard it would be to do behind the scenes, but you could
    1. Sync ilvls to 150 in the entire Wolves' Den zone,
    2. Sync ilvls to 150 when crossing the line into the PvP area, or
    3. Make it an option in the submenu when requesting a duel with a player, and syncing would occur at the end of the countdown.

    It's not like 1v1 is a huge balance priority otherwise - and anyway I don't see any huge differences in how gameplay would play out at i150 vs i245, syncing dueling to i150 would have pure advantages in utility.

    Obviously I have more stats at i245, but so does my opponent; if I can gib people in 3 GCDs in instanced PvP at i150, I don't see how that would play out any differently at i245. If anything, kills in a synced i150 environment will come faster because I have the advantage of using my specialty crit/det set there - while in a non-synced environment I have to put up with whatever acc or skillspeed is on my gear.
