Lately, a lot of people have been challenging new players to duels in starter systems only to blow them up if they accidentally click on the Accept button. Many people have quit due to this, and canbaiting was previously off-limits in the starter systems (though as a bannable offence).

For the new players, I recommend that Duels do not occur in starter systems (the systems where you start the game in, and the systems that have the career agents). This is 24 systems out of almost 8000 that will have the duels off-limits. If dueling is desired, it's simply a jump away.

I seek your votes to ensure the future of this game and it's healthy player growth. Thank you in advance.

Isn't harassing actual newbies in the starter systems already bannable?

If you're aware of people going after newbies like this, I think you can just report it... but on the off chance that this isn't already against the rules, sure, I'd support changes to reinforce that.

Specifically, an extra tutorial warning popup thing that advises new players not to accept a duel request wouldn't be unreasonable.

I support this proposal, I have seen this happen one time too much and certainly when new players are starting out this is NOT a way to welcome them. I would further ask that this be an offense that can carry a heavy penalty.

Duels against newbies is are already a bannable offense in starter systems. However the GMs can't be everywhere at once and rely upon people to report such actions.

How did you Veterans start?
