Heck, I'd like it if they could magically televise the duels so that those who care about such things can watch them. Have leader boards and all that for those people. Have the winners get endorsed by products and appear in commercials saying how much they like the product or service.
Duels are a pointless waste of time that draw in a very specific personality that has the need to feel gratified with some sort of bragging right for participating in a completely consequence free and controlled combat. Much like arenas. You know when it is going to happen and against Elder Scrolls Online Gold how many, you even get the heads up of knowing who your opponent is going to be.
Writing that out made me realise how utterly insignificant duels really are. Maybe ask for training dummies to beat on, it would be as relevant.
You couldn't be farther from the truth that Duels and Target dummies are insignificant or irrelevant. The MAIN purpose of duels is to fine tune your own build to better prepare yourself for PvP that matters, like in Cyro. It's a great way to learn how to beat different classes/builds, especially when it's against a friend/Guild member and you are both in Vent/TS/etc and talking about what to do against each other for best effect. Target dummies are specifically to learn how to hone one's DPS/HPS. Both might be pointless to YOU but they certainly hold value.
You can't teach good. There are no numbers you can crunch that equates=I'm good. You can manipulate the system, you can optimize your build sure, that works well for duels. You can be a crack shot with a rifle and get straight rattled and lose your nerve when someone shoots back at you. You can be a great batting practice hitter or as I say a "3 oclock hitter" then when the lights go on at 7pm not do a damn thing. There's intangibles that you can't really teach someone, or learn, they just develop or they don't.
That's why duels will never be PVP. I've played a lot of MMO's and played with a lot of different player types, I've done duels, I've seen people who are good at duels. And the best duelists almost exclusively either abstain from real PVP or just arent very good at it. It takes repetition to get good at Cheap ESO Gold PVP that you can not get in duels. It takes reaction and abstract thinking and decision making on the fly that you will never hone from dueling. Rarely, if ever, will a duel situation present itself in PVP where your experience dueling will pay dividends in an actual PVP situation, I dunno maybe if the guy was AFK and the competition was who could kill him the fastest, maybe. it would pay off.
