I'm 22 and have played about 75% of my time in PvE.

To the OP, I'd suggest a new guild.

Guardian of the Light · Jan 06, 2006, 05:50 AM // 05:50

Your all wimps I do both! So I know everything!

<----15

No seriously I hate how people you talk about both sides even though can't take a neutral position (like I can with pvp and pve issues) but make commets on the other side anyways, its just stupid.

PvE lover: I love PvE ITS UBER L33T
PvP lover: YOUR A N00B PVE IS FOR BABIES!!!!!11
PvE lover: PvP ppl are wimps who never explore
then both sides just start to insult each other
PvP lover: YOUR A RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING NOOB
PvE lover: RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO YOU
PvP lover: RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO YOU
Pve lover: RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO YOU

Alas, no one seems able to do any sort of debate these days without resorting to foul language. As if they right because they can cuss. That must be it!

I play some PvE (not a huge amount, but some) and I assure you I am older than 13.

JiggyFly · Jan 06, 2006, 06:47 AM // 06:47

I'm 18 and I play both, the fact that an Rpg type game was even able to integrate two completely different game types is a thumbs up from me. Because sometimes I feel like PvE and sometimes I feel like PvP...and what would I do if their was only PvP and I had not enough guildies on to do tombs or something....rr..read a boo..gah I can't even say it nor do I want to think about it.

hilkos · Jan 06, 2006, 09:35 AM // 09:35

Liking PvP, PvE or both depends more on things like personality and what do you want from to gain from your gaming, then age.

for example: If i had a busy day of work (older then 13 obviously) i tend to like doing som eeasy quests. Later i mainly play mission on such a day. I want relaxation so pve for me is the best at that moment. It rewards me with a relaxing slow paced gaming.

Other moments i like the fast short battles and i play pvp. I feel it is more challenging and more energy demanding. The winning is here more the reward for me. A feeling of accomplishment, somewhat more then in PvE

These rewards can be different for everyone ofcourse, but there will be a difference between the two gametypes for most of you i guess.

I am a person who likes both PvP and PvE, depending on my mood. Others like only one of both because they only like the reward (personal, not in-game)

So, to conclude: Whether you like PvE or PvP or both depends on many things but age is not one of them.

Red Sonya · Jan 06, 2006, 09:50 AM // 09:50

When someone makes a comment like that that only 13 year olds play PVE they have a childish attitude to begin with.

The age variations is broad across both lines of play. I'm well over 13 and I play both. I get bored with one I go back to the other. Competition is nice, but, some people drive it into the ground as the only way of life. I fortunately do not. I like to help other people through tough missions like Thirsy River or Thunderhead Keep and the Hell missions. But, on the other hand I will NOT RUN anyone through the game. I don't like runners to Droks and still wish they would lock the south door in Beacons Pearch. At least it will take a lot longer to get to Droks the other way around. And I think if you run the content then you are less than 13 years old!! hehe j/k

(Well not really but yes I am) haha

RotteN · Jan 06, 2006, 09:51 AM // 09:51

i do enjoy some pve from time to time, but for me, it's pvp that keeps this game interesting

and i'm a wee bit older than 13 yrs old :P

Sol_Vie · Jan 06, 2006, 09:52 AM // 09:52

If I didn't read your guild tag I would have thought I met him tonight. I walked into Dunes of Dispair to some level 14 elementalist bashing some warrior telling- nay demanding he be let into the party. "There are only two. Don't lie noob." So I go to the war's defense. "Here take this candy cane shard and be quiet." Of course this made him switch his attention to me (the short mesmer). It didn't take him long to start a pissing contest. "Oh yeah well come on then. Let's GvG." I, calmly, said no. Our guild doesn't GvG. To which he replied "Wow what a bunch of noobs. A noob guild." Just because our guild is a PvE oriented guild, doesn't mean we're noobs. I couldn't believe my eyes. Was this guy really serious? Sadly, he was. He then went on to say that our capes sucked, that my girlfriend (who had just ran me there with her war) was a (because the word he used is censored) "Lady of the Night"[sic] and that we were both noobs, along with our guild and anyone associated with me, the guild, or anyone in the guild. Blew my mind.

It seems to me that the more immature players hang out in PvP, but of course I know that is equally untrue. There are just as many poor players (not skillwise) in PvP as there are in PvE. PvPers are more competitive, so it might show more from time to time, but PvE-ers can be just as snobby.

Both pve and pvp are cool. I myself are 17 and like both alot. I have nothing against 13yeard old players, age doesn't matter at all. One of the best players I know is 14, and my best GW m8 is 32.

Red Sonya · Jan 06, 2006, 10:09 AM // 10:09

Some kids are so desparate to be noticed ..NOOB is like a curt word, something they know they are not suppose to do or say, so they say it because they "think" it will get a rise out of someone. If you let the word NOOB bother you then they have won. If you ignore them with no reply then you have won.

Something I've noticed in my 10+ years online is that there is an underlying hostility in many people that normally in everyday life face to face they wouldn't do (or so I would think lol). The internet and the anomity of it allows kids especially to release their barbaric nature and underlying cruelty that they can't release in the everyday real life world because they would get their butts stomped more than likely.

Name calling is as old fashioned as sliced bread. Noob just happens to be the modern day word for jerk or idiot. But, online it's much easier to get away with name calling than it is in the real world. I would bet 99.9% of these people would never say these things to a persons face (especially once they sized them up vs them should it come to fistacuffs or PAIN) lol Take PAIN out of the equation and you have a lot of people releasing their barbaric and cruel underlying nature.

Like this one for example: If I ever find any of you mouths in real life I'm going to stomp you silly (see, because of anomity and no pain I can get away with saying something silly like that). lol You're ALL NOOBS! lol (can't touch me) haha

Xenrath · Jan 06, 2006, 10:10 AM // 10:10

Oh I got deleted lol anyways, I think some surveys indicated the majority of gamers are actually male, and typically in their twenties/thirties.

anny comments or do you think that my leader stinks

I think your leader doesnt have a clue.That is a silly statement.I am 49 and play just PVE.Difference is if someone plays PVP it doesnt make them less or more than me it just thier preference...

dimirpaw · Jan 06, 2006, 10:20 AM // 10:20

I'm very big into PVE and PVP, however I prefer PVE mainly because I enjoy farming, but besides thats PVP is pretty fun.

PVE for the win!

Englishkid · Jan 06, 2006, 10:20 AM // 10:20

I only do PvE for money to get upgrades and skills for PvP so i combined them both

Yeah my experience is the diametric opposite to the opening poster.

I'm in a small sociable guild - hand picked members, most of us in our 20's and 30's. All of us play for fun and primarily play in PVE as that's where you can have fun

As my guildmate says 'I'm too old to deal with the adrenaline and stress of PVP'

It's also likely that older players are more likely to have jobs, children, lives and not be able to devote the time needed to play and hone their PVP skills.

None of the above is supposed to be insulting to either side of the equation.
I quite understand that people want the high excitement and higher strategic elements of PVP - but being old and creaky, Im not sure I do.

krak harpie · Jan 06, 2006, 10:44 AM // 10:44

I am 36 and do only PvE. I have nothing against PvP, but I mainly play with several people I work with (who are all considerably older than me), and we have a blast with PvE. No stress, no worries, and NO INSULTS.

The undead Mesmer · Jan 06, 2006, 11:23 AM // 11:23

Lots of reply's i didnt see that coming
(most of my threads whill get lost in a matter of seconds)

and thanks for answering my questions.
I have played PvP for some time but its just too plain boring in my opinion so to everybody that is a PvP fanatic how the hell can you play that long withouth getting bored?

And to the PvE people do you have 4 PvE characters or 3 PvE characters and only 1 PvP character?

I am 13 (+2) btw.

Ensabah Nur · Jan 06, 2006, 11:47 AM // 11:47

I'm 13(+24) and I only play PVE because that's what I prefer. I tried GW PVP/GVG 3 times to give it a fair shot,didn't like it(3 strikes your out). I've never cared too much for PVP/PKing in the past 15 years of my online gaming experience. It may have something to do with my old school PnP RPG experience I don't know. I just prefer to play the game not other people. My wife of the same age plays mostly PVE but will play PVP/GVG if our guildmates ask and if she's in the mood(Women have to be in moods,LOL) And our kids(5 of them) have just really started GW and so far prefer PVE over PVP(stating PVP is too hectic and stressful).We have nothing against PVP/PVPers or ANET making new PVP content, we just play the way we want to enjoy it.

To answer Undeads latest query, since our oldest son just deleted his PVP character to create a new PVE one, all 12 character slots of our 3 accounts are now PVE.

And the PVPers play PVP because that's what they enjoy. Live and let play man, live and let play.

Symeon · Jan 06, 2006, 11:52 AM // 11:52

<------ 14, used to play PvP a bit but now all 4 of my characters are PvE, so apart from perhaps Competition and very rarely Team Arenas, I'm PvE only.

In my opinion, anyone who says bullshit like 'Only 13-year-olds play PvE' is just an idiotic PvP obsessive probably in uni/in their 20s who bought this game to PvP. It saddens me to see things like this that prove how much enmity there is shown by PvP players to PvE players, because they think PvP is the larger part of the game and that Anet focus too much on PvE. Maybe some PvEers would say the same about PvP.
