Storyboard: Duel me! (Massively)
The central problem is that mechanics and characters do not line up conveniently. Even if you can just drop a duel in the middle of a crowded street, it's very possible for Character A to have far better equipment than Character B, or a better PvP setup, or a better class all around for PvP. And the situation isn't exactly conducive to a fair fight anyhow -- if both characters start off within arm's reach, then the ranged caster is going to have a hard time beating the heavily armored melee character, even if in-character the latter is meant to be more inexperienced and less capable in active combat.
