I share this opinion. I mean, geez, you already payed the price of admission- might as well explore the game to the fullest extent.

PVP/ PvE for shiny things on pvp charas.

Were pve more challenging, and had a somewhat overall higher caliber of players, i would have no problem with pve. however, this is not the case. The missions are repetitive, the majority of the players dont understand actual build concepts, and the general populations coordination is that of a quadriplegic 5 year old with downs. So, in short, if PvE was PvP, I'd play more.

Wilhelm · Apr 08, 2007, 04:52 AM // 04:52

I'd probebly say 60% PvP, 40% PvE now. I just play a bit of either when I'm bored of the other. Stale meta, and a character finished all 3 games, leaves me sitting around chatting most of the time.

As for the general population...I'd guess 80% Pve atm. PvE has higher replay value, and overall, is much funner for beginners, and anyone else.

Mostly PvE and rarely PvP - just to try but not a fan of PvP

This is just my experience, but the few times I've played PvP I found the experience completely ruined by immaturity and idiocy. It's really saying something to say that I have a better experience with PUGs then with PvP.

Racthoh · Apr 08, 2007, 05:17 AM // 05:17

More PvE than PvP... not enough contacts to get into serious PvP. I read more PvP than PvE on the forums if that counts for anything?

Bingo.

Though lately it's been 100% life 0% GW.

*PvE and only PvE.

Only PvP I've ever done any considerable amount of is AB/Ft. Aspenwood just to get faction needed for PvE quests and amber for armor(when it was 2k+). I did kinda enjoy it, but just seemed to lose interest after a few rounds. I have max faction for both sides now, and havent stepped into a PvP arena since the Nightfall preview weekend.

All of the "pretty things" I want, I can get in PVE. That leaves me with no motivation to PvP other than just for the fun of it, and I guess thats just not enough. For me even PvE is more fun when I'm actually working towards something, like spending most of last weekend doing quests that reward trade contracts so I wouldn't have to spend as much gold on a set of Vabbian armor.

I kinda go through phases. Usually whena new chapter is out I go more pve with some pvp. But after I've gone through all the content once or twice it's about 90-95% pvp.

countesscorpula · Apr 08, 2007, 06:28 AM // 06:28

My turn.

I'm PvE mostly, if not completely. I'll occassionally take a trip to aspenwood. But the rest of it holds no interest for me. I won't get into the reasons, cause that'll just devolve things. I don't want that. Suffice to say I have my reasons and they are good enough for me.

Bankai · Apr 08, 2007, 06:45 AM // 06:45

This forum has more pvpers than gwonline, for example, so the numbers will be far from the truth.

I mostly pvp and rarely PvE. I usually take 1 character through a campaign. Currently working on getting some characters ready for hard mode though.

Guild Wars Activity

about 50% PvP, 25% PvE, 25% Slacking(then log off)

I only PvP (HA and GvG) with my guild mates and the only time when I play with other people is when I do RA, AB, PvE or the guild team is in need of pickup or guests. I don't LFG or find and join other groups.

PvE, I need lots of those. I don't have 1 million gold in my storage and I haven't done any of those Defend Kryta or whatever and Last Days of Dawn. Heck, I didn't even see the robot in Furnace dead. And that's only for GW:Prophecies.

Milennin · Apr 08, 2007, 07:47 AM // 07:47

PvE only, but maybe going to try some basic PvP when I get a faster PC.

Hell Raiser · Apr 08, 2007, 08:59 AM // 08:59

*PvP and PvE: The best of both worlds. I love them both sooooo much I just can't choose.

I wouldn't say I can't choose. I enjoy both sides (PvP more so atm). I hate HA with a passion (I love to play there, and I try to keep up with the meta, but the people are... well that is a discussion for another time). I do enjoy GvG, but my guild rarely does it (and if we do, it is for fun; not rating). I love PvE, I love getting new titles and I enjoy farming or playing alone with H&H.

I used to PvP a lot more, back when I could do Tombs for fun without playing a gimmick. I enjoy PvE more now because I find the people to be a lot more fun to be around.

Demilikos · Apr 08, 2007, 09:30 AM // 09:30

I believe this fansite is a bit more PvE-inclined while a fansite like the Guild Hall is more PvP.

Jongo River · Apr 08, 2007, 11:08 AM // 11:08

99% PvE and 1% obtaining Faction through PvP.

Generally, I can't stand PvP. I've probably played too many online shooters to have the patience for it.

Lord Mendes · Apr 08, 2007, 11:18 AM // 11:18

80% PvP, 20% PvE
I played loads of PvE when I started, but it got boring. Also, I don't like spending much money, so I've been sitting on a near max-storage for about a year. Not bragging, just saying that if I ever need anything shiny for my chars I will just buy it. No need to farm.

As for the overall demographic, its more like 90% PvE and 10% PvP. There are some great threads about this in the glads arena section and TGH.
Not saying that one is better than the other, just that GW was marketed as a "cheap MMO for the casual gamer", and that tends to attract many more casual PvEers than hardcore competitive PvP gamers.

Etta · Apr 08, 2007, 11:31 AM // 11:31

the 3rd option, I like both of them. I like 2 at the time

Myrkwid · Apr 08, 2007, 11:39 AM // 11:39

90% PvE and 10% PvP. I like both, but PvP is, in my opinion, to slow, repetitive and boring to keep me interested for longer periods. Fun for an evening, but that's enough for a week.

Since Nightfallrelease I almost haven't touched PvP again. It's not that I don't want to, but, the metagame and the currently involved skills in it just want to make me puke, totally not my playingstlye and in my opinion utter crap, so currently I'm even 99%/1% on this matter. Latest "balance"update made one or two babysteps in the right direction, but still, much more is needed to bring me back.

Div · Apr 08, 2007, 11:45 AM // 11:45

Btw, why isn't this made into a poll option, instead of having to tally up responses?

keistje · Apr 08, 2007, 11:48 AM // 11:48

*PvE and only PvE. Are they gonna release more quests soon?

I absolutely hate PvP, it's not my thing at all. I don't even like the few points in PvE where you're forced to play PvP or to play with people not on your team. I'm not into the social or competitive aspect at all unless it's with people I already know. I've gotten a bunch of my friends involved in GW, and so I play with them.

The main reason I play GW over WoW is due to instanced play, and I'm sorry to hear that there's going to be less of that in GW2. I'm not sure if it will be possible or not, but I have to say that the first time I'm PK'd in GW2 will be the last time I play. There's always someone that has to ruin other people's fun.
