Its a bit flawed atm.

I have entered 4 fights, people using the same bs tactics as:
Alt reppers
Spamming invites when fight begins meaning person doesn't have control over fight.

I'd like to see this improved, may be a invulnerability feature stopping the ashats from spamming invites.

I like to spam the duel requests on all people who are hiding in NPC corps. Its just more fun that way.

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

I am quite fine with duelling its the fact that when you accept you have 4 more that spam you so you can not control your ship.

Neutral alt logi shouldn't be any surprise in a limited engagement. If you want a (fair) duel, do it in an empty system.

I would file an exploit petition if spammed duel challenges cause you to be unable to control your ship and result in a loss.

Sounds like maybe a UI fix is in order.

The second issue actually can be fixed if CCP adds a feature: Hot key to turn on or off auto decline duel requests. Or on the "accept duel" window, have an option "accept and block additional requests".

As for RR, if you have your own friends standing by they can all shoot the RR as soon as he goes suspect.

You can issue a challenge from local. It doesn't have to be in the local trade hub. Get out more. Pirate

I remember the first time I was cheated in duel. That bloke did not walk ten paces, it was more like six and a half.

Yup. Something along the lines of a "notification list" perhaps, so all the notifications from other players become non-modal, and the only modal notifications will be "DO YOU REALLY WANT TO JUMP INTO A 0.4 SYSTEM FLYING THAT OFFICER FIT RAVEN NAVY ISSUE?" :)

To the OP: spamming conversation requests is officially an exploit. Petition it, those people will get banned.
