Has anyone persuaded a freighter pilot to agree to duel yet?

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Yea this is a case of when, not if. Lol

Luckily there is a auto-reject feature. Now to check if it's activated by default or not.

It is off by default. So you only need to sit on a gate of a high traffic system and ask every passing pilot for a duel.

I already see the average autopiloting freighter reaching Jita with a hundred open duelling requests.

Apparently The Mittani will duel anyone who sends him an EVE mail saying why they think they should be allowed the honour of duelling him.

IT'S TIME TO DUEL!

Also its time to rage about how consenting pvp is ruining EVE!

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

I hope CCP adds specialized dueling turrets for a classy gentlemen's duel.

Fortunately CCP set it so only one can be open at a time.

I'm tempted to get in a mine barge with T2 drones and challenge other miners to duels.

dueling was already in the game before, it was called the "1v1 yellow can". although is was more like the "1v1 with 3 offgrid boosting alts can". with the new Crimewatch the yellow can became the yellow can of "oh **** i should have read the patchnotes" for a few weeks, later on it simply vanished.

would be interesting if they made dueling turn off any offgrid boosting bonuses to ships.

Let him duel The Wiz---his best ship against that guy's Mackinaw armada.

So many pilots demanding satisfaction. Why dont we have gloves in the NEX for faceslapping?

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
