It has happend in the past and sounds alot of fun, but then you get all the high'n'mighty assholes jumping on you screaming 'rp farming ! ' .
It would be nice if it was possible to have a dueling system or area where you got no rps or bps but could one-on-one duel with no buffs.

thats what i was thinking kagato...
would be really cool.
Dunno if u have played Jedi Knight 2, but they have a duel system in that, where one asks and the other person accepts/declines... they turn invunrable to other players, so can duel...
would be a good laugh
i also think u should be able to do this in your own realm...

Let me tell u something. I hate duels. And if I see any duels I got any right to disturb them and kill everything since duelling is against CoC. And yes. Its rps farming indeed.

1.52 and removal of to-hit modifiers will probably see the end of organised duelling (unless you hide away real good) as gangs of greys could steam around breaking duelings up and farming the farmers.
Duelling sucks, show your 'skillz' by fighting the enemy in a real battle situations, not tea party /beckon /salute 'I don't kill them, so I'm not RP farming, honest' nonsense.
If it says something in a language you don't understand, kill it, don't /beckon, fight and let it live, lamers.

from GOA:
About duels.
Many players have been wondering what was the official stance of the event team regarding duels. In order to answer this question, we need to clarify what is hiding behind this simple word; duel.
- The unexpected duel, one versus one, leading to the death of the escape of one of the two fighters.
- The organised duels with “healer” classes, able to bring back to life slain players.
In the first case, it is an honourable (or not so honourable) duel, with which we have no problem as long as it is unplanned and exceptional.
In the second case however, we face an alteration of the game, allowing players to do what we call “RP farming”, the act of “farming” realm points doing many “controlled” duels and sparing the healing classes. For such situations, we will not take direct sanctions against the players even if it is an alteration of the Gameplay. However, do not be surprised if your whole party is slaughtered by wandering guards, friendly jousts have no place when there is realm war going on!

Hence why I said it would be nice if it was possible to do them outside of the realm point/bounty point system so theres no point reward so you can test your character freely.
Personally the fights I enjoy the most are the ones I have when caught out alone in the frontier against another player and it comes down to a one on one struggle. Always worthy of a salute, those fights.

Well, I guess that answers my question about any improvement of the attitude of GOA since Beta. "Do it the way we say or we shall gank you with NPCs"
You know what? this is the game of the individual players who bought it...they should be able to play any way they wish.
Those persons who enjoy disrupting the fun of others purely for that sake are dysfunctional in the extreme. No wonder so many flock to a playing methodology that allows them to victimize others while remaining anon and untouchable by any repercussions.

Many people don't like Duels, i think your right when you say that anti - duellers should zerg duellers.

Well, to be honest, it works either way
Fighting dueling peeps for the simple reason of tactical advantage/personal gain is one thing...to do it in order to inflict emotional pain, or simply to punish others for not agreeing with one's own mindset would be the "dysfunctional" part.
By the same token, those who wish to engage in duels have every right to do so as it is their game. They just need to consider the "opposition" in designing these encounters and plan for them as they would any other hazard.
However, the most repugnant issue here is the statement by GOA in my opinion.
I think Mythic has taken some effort to advance the desires of a substantial portion of the player base in this area (the battle areas and PvP server), and I feel that they are committed to the enjoyment of the various player factions.
Too bad the same cannot apparently be said of their counterparts in Europe.

what is it with the 'duels=rp farming' mentality here?
every duel session ive been at people do their best NOT to kill their opponent just back off before they die ..
so = no rps .. .. ..
also, how is duel rp farming any more than people camping low lvl xp areas in df/frontier, isnt that farming ?

Worthy subjects of concern to players will always be rehashed in any situation where an influx of new participants occurs.
If this process ever ceases here, the game is dead.
Perhaps old and jaded members of the community would be better served by expanding their horizons rather than ridiculing other persons for expressing their feelings on an issue.

Erm, does that mean that if an individual player wants to cheat, he should be allowed to?
DAoC is a multiplayer game, and thus is not the 'game of the individual player who bought it'. It's the game of _all_ the players who have bought it. Hence the reason for the CoC. If you don't like it, go play a single player RPG, there are plenty of em about.

Butch...
I had forgotten that many folks here take english as their second or third language, and that is apparent in your response. I will try to make it more clear for you:
The word "play" is not synonomous with "cheat", firstly, and I was indeed referring to the customers in a body by using the plural form "playerS" in my original post, not the singular form as you misquote me at the bottom of your post. I also note that "dueling" is NOT prohibited by the CoC. As I stated before, this is an issue that the player base as a whole must resolve, and Mythic has made some progress in assuaging those who wish to participate in this sort of activity (and there seems to be quite a few).
Lastly, your point is not logically connected to the original topic under discussion.
