1) THERE WILL BE NO ARENAS.
2) A duel is simply a way to set up a limited engagement under the new CrimeWatch system without having to go suspect.
3) This will have zero impact on PVP as it exists today.

Just to ask again, in case I missed a legitimate answer somewhere: How do you use current mechanics to allow 2 parties to engage in a limited conflict similar to what the duel system will allow?
Player A ejects a can. Player B takes from that can to go suspect. Player B then docks/cloaks/whatever to hide from any third parties attempting to shoot them. Wait 14 minutes.
With 1 minute left on the suspect timer, Player A shoots Player B. 5 minute LE begins and the suspect timer is waited out. Now you've got 4 minutes to reship, repair, whatever before you start shooting each other with much honor.
Yes, it's a tedious and stupid way to do it. Which is why I think duels are a good thing.

I hole this has helped you understand EVE better. :) Then the statement at hand is objectively false. There is consensual PvP. And there is no reason it can't be supported so long as it in no way detracts from non-consensual PvP. No, actually there are tons of reasons, see the last 10 pages.
The only reasons I've seen are "slippery slope" arguments where it's "first we get duels, then we get arenas, next thing you know there's no ganking in highsec."
The duel system as detailed in the devblog is great. It's an LE on demand without having to muddle through suspect flags. Saves time for those parties who just want to jump straight in to the LE. Anything above that would be wrong...but I'm not going to argue against duels because some carebear idiot wants arenas to go with it.
