right now One vs One in guild wars I don't believe is really possible, the builds from what I've read (And i'm no expert) seem to be catered entirely for team builds
Builds in World of Warcraft and other games i've played seem to allow any class to play on their own in PVE but also in PVP
Guild Wars 2 - One vs One viable, WoW style Duel challenges in town?

Hm... usually is not a good idea to suggest anything "WoW-Style"
I'd hate to see GW turned into a non-fee WoW.
The sole idea is... not very attractive.

nah no thx. GW = 8 skills on your bar, where you have to be "balanced". WoW = infinite skills that allows you to be mindless and just click whatever you feel like clicking. i would prefer if GW stayed GW and WoW stayed WoW.

Yes, you can just use a scrimmage in your guild hall for a 1v1 (no faction etc. is gained though)
And I don't know why you said "WoW-style" the MMO Risk Your Life did this far before WoW ever came out.

They just aren't popularized on fan sites because they are mostly... lame.

Unless you both tell each other builds
theres skill involved sure but the build that counters the other one better wins instead of how to use your class
Alex the Great
the reason they cater to team based battles is because 1v1 is for noobs with lame farming builds who want to settle arguments with people who say that their build sucks. All this for their e-peen.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Im pretty sure that what the OP ment is a 'quickie' duel. Sure you can scrimmage in your GH, but this takes time to set up, whereas the OP suggests you just make a few clicks and youre off to a fight, no build tweaking, no preparation whatsoever, quick, simple, and fun. I belive THAT is what "WoW style" meant.

dueling adds somthing to the game, its a small thing but it brings you into the game more imo, from what i've played in wow.
its a nice feature until you come up againsta 12 year old "OMG n00b you cheated,I r0x i should win,n00b!" (rare occurance)

Why not just play WoW?
It's not like much is different, it's still rock-paper-scissors, except WoW is cash vs less cash.

Somehow the thought of some stupid assassin jerkoff, with an "Ultimate First Strike PWND" build, challenging every person in town until someone accepts, annoys me.

IMO, sometimes the best action is random action.

Is it harassment if I have to ignore duels from every 15 (or 50) year old assassin every time I zone into LA?
A better idea would be a RA town that you can go into, hit join battle and get paired up randomly for a heroless 1v1 fight. That is something I could agree with.

You play an online game with other humans. If you DONT want contact with strangers, go play a single player game. Simple as that.

i've played WoW for like 3 days (before i realized it was he most dumbfounded and annoying game i've ever played and i would not go back to it even if i was offered 1000k) and you get a shit load of skills on your bar. it's useless and completely retarded. as some-1 else in this thread said, if you want WoW, go play WoW. if you want GW, then play GW. mixing the 2 would NOT created the "ultimate game". the moment that GW is mixed with up-to-date WoW features is the day GW loses 50% (if not higher) of it's player base. that's just fact and just how it is.

I think it's rude to invite a person to your group that is not looking for group, don't you? I think it would be rude to challenge someone to a duel that is not looking for a duel, don't you?
Simply put, you have confirmed my belief that most people that play MMOs think it's okay to do what is fun for them, and if that's annoy other people, screw them.
You probably wouldn't walk up to me in real life and challenge me to a duel, that would be stupid. If you did, I guess I could be the bigger man and just ignore you. I should just ignore you on the boards, cause you're just here for my amusement anyway. GW just a game, so I'll get over it.
BTW, I solved the problem for all of us already, if people want single player duels, make a single player challenge arena, or put a duel tab on the party request window.
That way the rest of us will only have to put up with personal duels when we are looking for one.

First of all, what is your suggestion?
Second of all, since you said Guild Wars 2, let me direct you to the sticky.

You can't see me
I just don't see how this is worth the time to code into Guild Wars 2. For that matter, I see no constructive use for it. The entire purpose would be to prove that you can beat someone else. We honestly need more of that by the truckload. Haul it in. No thanks.

i dont want gw2 to be completely like WoW but i wouldt mind if they put 1v1 dueling anywhere and mounts and stuff.

What is wrong if they put in 1v1 duels?
People that enjoy doing them can do it, people that dont can opt out. Most people in WoW 1v1 for fun, not for e peen, like when I went around on my lvl 10 paladin challenging lvl 70 players for the luls.
WoW has a fantastic player interaction, and the gameplay design actually makes it fun to play with and challenge others. In GW however, playing with others is usually a truck load of bull poo. Each game has it plus points, I fail to see how implementing 1v1 duels into GW2 could harm the game in anyway at all. If you dont like it, you dont have to do it.

I don't see why a fun feature contained in one game can't be transfered to another without such pointless competition.
I Report U
isnt RA rock paper scissor? and thats still a popular format.
there should be a 1vs1 random arena just to mess around like u do in RA>
maybe something like warrior duels,polymock etc....
why not? if u dont like it dont enter and keep playin pve or team pvp.
and its nothing to do with wow....guildwars allready has the scrimmage option....but its cumbersome and a pain in the ass.
and btw there are a few guilds that specialize in scrimmages.....and its not exactly rock paper scissor.....u gotta bring a versatile build if u want to win more games than u lose (it should be about ratio- wc3 ladder style)
in my previous alliance they organized a 1vs1 torunament and it was great fun.
ps: yeh red sand it should an outpost.

Well, I don't really see how this would fit into the GWs 8-skills-skibbar idea. I would /sign if:
- It was only possible in some parts (not everywhere).
- It was possible to disable it. In some other game I played (No, not WoW) you would get invites to 1vs1 matches every few seconds in towns. It got very annoying very fast.
- Had no effect on titles at all.

I think we all forgot GW2's already announced world PVP feature that anet have said will be in the game. It will be able to be toggled on and off if you choose. If you turn it on you will be able to attack whoever you like in PVE, and likewise be attacked yourself, but if you turn it off, you cant attack others or be attacked.
That has already been confirmed and sounds like a very nice feature.
Dont forget that GW2 is going to be a completely different PVE game to GW1 with seperate PVP skills for balance.
