Hunters Challenge with DP.
The answer is that the game is appropriately balanced. Yes, you can have an elite few players in either spectrum that will appear to shift the balance... But ultimately, if you average the top 5% of all Hunters and top 5% of all Duelers, depending on your definition of "Power" - which has a LOT of different meanings in this game - either one is equally successful.
There is no purpose to this poll.
the answer would be BOTH if we could do stuff with dp, just like with ap.

This is a miss for the reason you hinted at. DPs are VERY important for Skill-Heavy Builders, as they would not be able to effectively complete Adventures without doing Challenges.
Time for my 5 cent.
First a little background:
On w1 I am one of the strongest players in my level bracket, and can be fairly sure to win any duel, I worked hard for it, always making sure I got maximum SE for as little XP as possible. On w2 I'm a hunter/builder, and can only win over other hunter/builders, I enjoy both. On w1 I enjoy winning duels and gaining SE. On w2 I laugh at the duellers when they get 0 SE for attacking me, not that I get attacked much. I don't have a character on w3.
I don't see the overpowered characters as being a problem in itself, all games reward those that find a way to make the most of it, and that is just as it should be, or the game would very quickly become dull.
I do however see a few "problems" with the balance between duelling and hunting. As I see it the ideal would be that the strongest player would be the player that made the most of all his/her resources, not just the duelling points. (No I do NOT suggest the current worlds be "rebalanced")
If you are a dueller, you have action points wasting away while if you are a hunter you gain nothing from using your duel points, other than the occasional quest, and getting your HP to 1, so that you can hunt without fear for being attacked and loosing your SE. (I haven't gotten to the point where I can do adventures so no idea how they influence the game)

@ Viridel
No need for HH:MM:SS counter, server resets at 4 am game time, so time remaining is always the same.
Also there is no "Free" gain from TC as you have to duel and win a fight to gain something (by that logic normal SE gain from duel is "free" as well, someone had to do the work while you simply took it:)).
The timer would still be convenient for the 98% of the players not active on the Forum.
And yes, it is "free", since it's ultimately up to the TC'd person whether to give you anything or not. They can choose not to hunt or duel. And yes, you do have to earn a win in a Duel. But you already get the chance to loot SE from that. The TC is truly nothing more than a bonus - free SE.

Yup. Pretty much. I want that information one click away. Not click, scroll, read, back, click, scroll, read, back, click, scroll, read, back, click, scroll, read, back, click, scroll, read, back, click, scroll, read, back... And that's just 6 battles, by the way... How many battles does the average player wake up to overnight? Seems like a LOT of clicking, doesn't it? Or, just have it part of a TC Tab, or on the character profile, and one or two clicks - done.
Actually, it would reduce server strain, as people wouldn't need to display all the battles every time.
Why does it take the skill out? The data is already there, in the recommendation section. It just doesn't make sense to keep it there if there is a Torture Tab already built - which there should be, as having that data (who's TC'd you, who you've TC'd, and the profits) in completely separate areas of the game is illogical.
I don't see why it is so difficult to keep track of who you put in and when you are in yourself. It sounds to me that you are asking the programmers to do more work because you're to lazy to read your battle reports.

As for listing how much each person gave you, it seems to take some of the skill out of the game. If you want simple click games there are several out there. I like the thought and strategy in this one.

I'd like the flip side - a page where I can see who it was that I dragged into the TC for that larger-than-usual reward. Maybe they could put both on the same page. Right now, the Torture Chamber text up at the top doesn't link to anything, so that would be a convenient place to put the link to this new page.
Alternatively, the Recommendations page text could include the list of who I had in the TC, along with the total amount. I suppose you could put Viridel's text there on that page, too, though that seems a little odd, since he wants current info, and the rest of it is historical data.
I don't want to have to check every battle, and calculate when it happened to see if I'm still in the TC, I want to look at my character sheet, and have it show

The point is that someone else is gaining a "free" benefit on your work. So, if you know you're in the TC, maybe you won't do that massive hunt before the server resets. Maybe you'll know to power up and attack them back.

No, it doesn't need to be an Event. But I DO want that information available in a single look.
I don't know why people make such a fuzz about being in TC:)
If you are dragged into one it clearly states so in the last lane of your fight. So if you really wanna know just check your previous battles.
Cursing on the other hand is an event, it is clearly a sign that you will be in a fun zone soon:D

Dude - Enough. You are the only person here who thinks you are right. So you're officially just wasting everyone elses time.
you really should improve your reading skills 
I duell a lot and I'm under the Top 10 duellers in high score. I now have stored 800 aps and my 4th championship medal is very soon coming. I know what I'm talking about. What I'm now doing is milking cows but no hard work. I'm hardly being attacked by others, even though I have no god skilled char. MsPiggy has a god skilled char. Nobody will fight her because you know you can not win. She can carry a million SE with her without having a risk to loose something. That's the whole truth.
It's the fact that I want to face a challenge in the game. I'm not an adult with an undeserved sense of superiority.

The IIHF is the international association for what sport?
Basketball
Baseball
Hockey
Football/Soccer
The correct answer is ICE hockey. The clue is in the title of the federation that runs it!!! What do you think the second 'I' stands for?

What was the name of the first pinball machine that had flippers?
Livepower
Vagabond
Humpty Dumpty
Balls-A-Poppin
Notes: Flippers were already used on many games prior to 1947, but they were non-electrical, "manually-operated" bats used on baseball games, one to a playfield. 'Humpty Dumpty' is the first pinball machine manufactured with flippers that were electromechanical. According to the book Pinball 1, David Gottlieb wanted to name this game 'Flipper' but a legal check found a patented countertop game that had a manual bat, Smith Manufacturing Company's 1932 'Flipper'.
At best, ambiguous. At worst, completely wrong.

Hmm.. it is limited. I think you can only get max the 25% of the SE that is on you. Also the transcendal projection's hidden SE doesn't count. Maybe the opponent had no SE on.
