Default a dueling system for gold

after the serious ecto stock market crash and green pricelines deeming everything except 10% of greens, unwanted and worth 1k its rather difficult to make gold as it used to be. i think it would be cool if you could challenge people in towns to duels and have some sort of contract system in which you can set the amount you want to duel for withought having to trust the person to pay upon defeat making an easier way to make money than spending two hours to kill a boss who may or may not be holding the weapon your farming, and if he is he may not drop it and if he does theres a 1 in 5 chance you wont get it. farming is for peasants man, this is the future.

Can see this being annoying
Stand in a town and everyone invites you to party and this would add a second popup when lots of people want to add you to duel
Wait for the Norn Fighting Arenas and get your reputation with the Norn up for .... bonus goodies

I personally don't have a problem surviving on the gold i get, i''m not well off but i can survive and personally i think the Dev teams time is better spent on GWEN

The only way I'd see a 1v1 system working would be if your skills were changed into a fixed set across all classes. GW just isn't designed with 1v1 in mind, there are too many classes and skills which will completely dominate other classes, and too many skills rendered useless.

/notsigned because I don't want millions of threads in the PvP area on how to defeat an E/D.

True about the 1v1 not going to work

I play Warrior so . . .
I see a Sin ask to duel i'll jump at the chance
I see a Necro ask to duel i'll run and hide

With set spells it could work but more likely every fight would involve hitting the same sequence of skills

We got rid of WTS and WTB spam just in time for WTD! WTF?

And as others have mentioned, 1v1 can get pretty leery depending on classes and skills used. Throw in the threat of having money taken away if you lose and I can just hear the screams already.

God I hate it when people say "OMFGzzZz N00B I CUD PWn U 1vs1!!!1" in AB and then claim you cheat or something when you kick their ass... and likewise people in guilds wanting to 1vs1 to "test a build". Christ thats pretty much what AB is for if you're not grinding for titles...

1vs1 (not the hero arena) is the most pointless idea ever in guild wars.

I'd just use the Bonder's Bane build and challenge would be enchantment tankers.
