They aren't forcing you to duel, so I don't see what's inappropriate about it. You can ignore them, duel them, or attack at will.

Edit: And AFAIK these duels are not setup, they just form when you get a few soloers/deulers in the same area.

Jump them if it offends you, be ready to get double teamed while your realm mate stand there and watch, though.

i don't really mind the ones doing it...but i can see OPs point


Would it be fine if it were bigger groups of people doing it?
Two set groups from each realm having their special little sit in, double teaming any attackers while their own realm stands idle by?


And i guarantee that people "disturbing" their chillzone would get flamed at instead of the victims saying "meh, it's our own fault for doing that here at a hot spot"

I mean he did say "shouldn't they find another place to do this?" so I'm assuming he was sarcastically referencing the solo zones they could be using instead.

Even if not, it seems clear to me he's not bothered by the action itself just the location (he didn't say stop doing it, he suggested going somewhere else).

Set duels on Live were nothing more than RP farming and a fake way to get the "Lone Enforcer" title. Let's not allow this cancer to spread on Phoenix.

As opposed to what? All the LE's that have earned the title by killing sub-50s?

Nothing wrong with duels if they happen organically. Stop trying to enforce your playstyle on others. You are not the arbiter of what is 'cancer' and what isn't.

Yes, you are absolutely correct in assuming that someone with an artificially inflated Realm Rank gained through RP farming in a set circle-jerk thinly disguised as "dueling" is totally fair to the other players who encounter them who have a lower realm rank from playing the game without any exploitation. Sounds legit.

as much as i agree on this with you cade, if it's allowed for 8man...then it needs be allowed for solos too

and that 8mans are allowed to set up fights was stated during OF-times

Name one player that has even earned 5% of his realm points through farming the same few people in duels? And how is dueling "RP farming"? I had Smashboi, a nightshade, attack me 8 times in about a 30 minute span on Saturday near nGed docks and I killed him every single time. They weren't set duels. There was no bowing before each fight, and we didn't organize this through discord. I don't didn't go looking for him either (as I play a visi and he's a stealther). Essentially I farmed him for 30 minutes straight earning 8 solo kills in the process. How is that any different from what you consider duel RP farming? Calling organically occurring duels "RP farming" is hyperbole to the extreme. Does it apply to 8man's who only fight other 8mans?

These are spontaneous occurrences that happen organically when a few soloers happen to be in the same area. I've been involved in these before not because I want to farm the same people over and over again but rather out of respect for others soloing. What is the point of just attacking someone from another realm when they are already engaged in combat if my goal is to get a solo kill? Some of us prefer solo kills over earning realm points (and often you will get more realm points by killing someone solo than if you had joined into the fray). If I enter into combat with 2 people already fighting (say from different realms than my own) then I can fight the winner when he is at full health and hopefully earn a solo kill.

Completely different topic. 1v1s that occur organically are some of the most exciting fights that I or anybody has had, without a doubt. Organized dueling is bullshit and is RP farming. I respect soloers and expect the same respect in turn when I am soloing, same as you. We are in complete agreement as to your post.
