I left 2 of the 3 cause they didn't have a auto reject feature so I had to click no every time someone tried to duel me then they would either get bored after a bit or get pissed. A few times I took the duel to shut them up and they killed me in 2 hits as expected. Some people kept spamming me with duel even after I took one to shut em up. In the others it had auto reject and sometimes people would complain that I wouldn't duel and I would port somewhere else. One of the games I would take the duels of people 5-10 levels above me because the level system was messed up and you could kill someone 5-10 levels above you if you had skill. This game also had items you could buy to make you ungodly strong and was why I stopped. There's my story of free to play MMO's.
Well, either you're very unlucky or I'm very lucky. I've played many such MMOs myself and I have never had that experience and nor have I ever heard of anyone else with such an experience. Besides that, it sounds like those games failed at other basic levels of game design.

I still don't see how those experiences are applicable here. A system where the duels are entirely optional and you have an additional option to refuse all of them should make everyone happy. Sure someone might ask why you are refusing duels but.. so what? Its a social game, you're going to encounter people who say things you don't like.
