Keep sending out those duel requests and if you get lucky and someone wants to duel with you make sure you have other characters ready to send the victim spam duel requests.

Apparently there is nothing wrong in this.

I am actually laughing to be fair.

I don't have any emotional connection to this game any more but I thought I would share with you all just how broken this duelling system is.

I though such spamming was a bannable offence, since the intent is to prevent the other guy from being able to control his game.

Its called being happy to accept a fight, should try it sometime. However its a pain having to come out of the game just to click auto reject on receiving an invitation for a duel just so you know that on accepting the invite you don't get spammed and hence not be in control of your ship.

Should be simple to prevent duel invites if someones currently in a duel. So should take CCP about 4 years to add this.

Its quite funny the response I received when I questioned it in a petition. The typical robot.

I think it's intentional to allow other players to join the duel, so you can make things like 2 vs 2. I disabled the whole system immediately as it had annoying convo spam written all over it with nothing to protect you from it.

Just move to null-sec. This isn't a problem there.

In null-sec, if you're undocked you auto-accept every challenge!!! Lol

Duel request spamming to handicap / freeze an opponent?

Obviously the Duel mechanic wasn't tested enough before being implemented. Just another fine example of programing incompetence showcasing CCP's "Commitment To Excellence".

Ugh

The very existence of a dueling system in a sandbox game is innately broken.

Pro tip: do not question it when you know it is wrong. Know it is wrong and make demands!

(And do not roll over on their first response. This is how they get you.)

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

You might be camped in by a hostile "slowcat" fleet that will "duel" you.
