Ive been complaining about there not being a dueling system since day one of when I started playing. It would be SOOOOO much better for characters to settle RP fights like that.
I mean, there is no real excuse behind not having a non-arena PvP.   :I
EDIT: AND IT SAVE'S TIME TOO... for other RP stuff and whatnot. Why sit there for thirty minutes typing when you can skewer a foe in 2 minutes time. Â ._.
That being said (from the perspective of a heavy PVPer no less), a dueling system could be quite unbalanced. Further, if dueling were the norm for RP we'd be lending towards backwards progress in terms of exclusivity. There are strong and weak arguments for and against it, but having been part of enough RP communities where this was a standard, it lead to more problems than it solved on a social/community base. NWN, WOW, Ragnarok Online, SWTOR being primary examples.
