    Here is an example of how to flag the unwilling. This is from SWTOR, which eventually did away with the "opt in by flagging yourself" ( which was easily exploited) and made a pvp instance of each server which one can swap between.

     

    Flagging others was easy. Flag yourself and go into a player's AOE; the player was auto flagged. Stealth characters were ideal as they could also hide on top of pve quest objectives, get clicked on, thus flagging the other player. In practice, there was no "opt in".

     

    Just a few weeks ago they finally added an "auto decline duel requests" option so people can avoid the duel spam.
