I was asked in the FB group to display my thoughts here, so I will.
I have thought of an idea for at least 5 years (I think).
Why not let the duelee (=defender) know that someone has set to duel? If not online, well... tough luck, but if online they will have a chance to change gear or flee the scene (if sanctuary is close enough).
I used to play a game called Evony (1st ed.?) and if one of your towns were under attack you'd have an eagle(?) flashing red/yellow to alert you. In the west you could have the dueling symbol in the bottom bar flash red when someone is out to duel you. I guess it would be possible "program code wise", and I think it would help a lot of non-dueling players to avoid problems.
IRL you would've had the possibility to "chicken out" in the old days, why not now?
There could be consequences for avoiding duels, loss of dueling points and/or loss of energy perhaps (10% could be adequate)? Maybe a possibility to bribe yourself out of a situation, corresponding to the loss in a lost duel (with a minimum fee of $10 x your level), where the attacker is prohibited to attack for the next hour (just like in regular dueling).
If measures like this were installed I could also accept that any multiple item from products could be "dropped on the ground" and automatically picked up by the attacker, but no tombola, unique or single items, just the regular things you get from jobs.
Someone was kind enough and pointed out that Inno does this for its players of Grepolis and Tribal Wars already....gives them advance warning of attacks so the player can get assistance or otherwise prep himself to defend. Therefore it should not be impossible to include it also in the west.
