"they'll figure it out when it happens and be better for it" approach is the best approach Maybe, but there's a difference between that, and flat out lying about a game mechanic which sounds like is the current state of things. Not just misleading, as it says specifically after one or both ships are destroyed.
Surfin's point was that CCP does this kind of thing constantly.
It used to be that CCP official information sources were among the least reliable around.
Anyway, I agree that the Features page (and anywhere else that says that the LE ends at a ship being destroyed) should be changed to reflect how the game actually works. Or simply removed. I'm perfectly fine with "we've introduced a thing called dueling. It's up to you to figure out how it works. We put in a bunch of fun stuff in corner cases for you to find."

The wiki is often updated by ISD member who themselves don't completely grasp the finer points of Eve Mechanics. It's the last place I look for authoritative documentation.
THAT statement is vague beyond belief.
Not really. "Creates a 5 minute Limited Engagement and all normal rules for limited engagements apply" is pretty concrete. That's precisely what " then a 5-minute Limited Engagement is created between the two characters. From here, the existing Crimewatch mechanics take care of the rest" means.

GM Karidor wrote:Hello everyone. We noticed this particular bit of incorrect information on the Retribution feature page for dueling a few days ago and have taken steps to correct it back then, but unfortunately this isn't quite an immediate process for various reasons. However, by the time I am posting this the feature page has been corrected for all language versions of the page to reflect the correct situation (see http://www.eveonline.com/retribution/dueling/).
Thank you.

Since it's a new mechanic just added to the game, the dueling option will probably get used for a while. However, due to getting podded enough times, players will just end up going back to can flipping to do their ship dueling.
Anyway, I'm done with this thread. Good luck to everyone participating in the so called 'Limited Engagement' high security combat.
DMC I wasn't aware that the old can trick to legally start a fight kept people from podding each other.
I thought you could be legally podded for can flipping pre-CW2.0. And I'm quite sure that being a suspect allows you to be legally podded:

"Please note: A suspect flag will NOT expire when a ship is destroyed! This means that a single suspect flag can result in legal ship AND pod death!"
