Why cant an arena entrance, sortof like pocket D, be placed outside or inside pvp zones?

I dont mind that people duel, but I really am sick and tired of being shouted at or called names for attacking someone only to find that they are duelling and expect the zone to come to a standstill just for them.

Even if I am informed they are duelling, I feel they are fair game and if they wish to duel there are arenas about just for that purpose.

I go into a pvp zone to fight, not to stand about while people get offensive and expect everyone else to play to their rules, so an arena entrance would solve this, and if anyone then duelled in pvp zones, people could kill them without being lectured on etiquette or just plain flamed.

This is true. Although i do try and respect if someone is having a duel in a PvP zone, if someone breaks in you cannot have a go at them to an extreme level. It is just laziness that they duel in the PvP zone instead of going to an arena, then starting the match. Plus its more public so people get a better sense of victory. I have probably had a go at someone because i was trying to have a 1v1 and they broke in because i was annoyed i didnt get to prove to the other person who kept sneakily killing me that, when prepared, i could beat them.

Thought of putting this in suggestions? It is unlikely this will happen because arenas are there for organised fights and PvP zones is just a mass of PvP, not 1v1s.

Bottom line that can be made- If your gonna duel, find a secluded spot, away from everyone and if someone breaks in, either try again or go to the arena, but DO NOT have a go at someone, its a PvP zone.

And killing someone who needs this sense, while they are dueling is a beautiful thing

Surely the easiest thing to do is to include a "Challenege Player To Duel" button, like in Jedi Knight or even WoW? That way, nobody has to go elsewhere and the duelists can duel without being interrupted by other people. In fact, you could even go so far as to make the command apply outside of PvP zones.
