I'll tell you I'm between the ages of 1-100 years old and I really like PVE a lot its how I make money and I enjoy the role playing sense of it.

However.... I'm also rank 5

I am 18, and use PvP mostly for my own personal entertianment at the expense of my team. Especially if I'm on some overexcited team that thinks their world will fall apart if they don't get 25 faction.

Lady Frost Bite · Jan 06, 2006, 12:52 PM // 12:52

my guild ranges from age 10-36(i'm 23 and a girl) and most if not all of us do both pvp and pve depending on whats going on and how many people we have on. if we have 8 then we will do a GvG if we don't then we will help a guildie through a mission or do some TA. I think the main problem between pve and pvp is simple..pvpers don't like pvers(sp)because alot of pvers come to tombs and think that they are soo great cause they can use a max damage gold axe, staff,wand or whatever and pvers don't like pvpers cause pvper always flash there rank(if they have one)and don't answer alot of questions and sometimes are just rude.IMO pvp toons are a bit better than pve toons just because if you have enough faction you can unlock runes and get weapon grips or bow strings and other things like that without haveing to save a bunch of money. now pve toons are better than pvp toons because pve toons can kill a boss and maybe get a kick-ass weapon that pvp can't. As far as one being better than the other i think it depends on what you want to play. but don't rule one out unless you've tried it and you can't always count on your first experance of one or the other so you should try it several times incase your first time around wasn't pleasent for you(ie bad pug or jackass leader)

I'm 30 and I know people ranging from 15 to 58 that love PVE, so really your leader is wrong. I do play PVP too and to be quite honest some of the behavior in Tombs leads me to belive the average age in pvp is quite low. My 2 cents cheers

No, thank you very much!

I love PvE, I will play PvP from time to time for a change. I will not play Tombs without a Guild Group. Just to make it clear I have 3 Fame, not a Rank of 3 but three whole fame to my name. I have also earned about 20,000 faction playing the other types of PvP. I earned over 1000 Faction just playing in the Snowball fights. And I didn't return home from Christmas until December 31st. So I'm not completely without PvP skill.

The skill (player) to play PvE is not the same as needed to play PvP. Both present a challenge which I enjoy. I pick and chose which I will play depending on my stress level, mood and time available.

To the OP: I suggest you look into finding a new guild. One with a more tactful leader.

I'm 15 i love pve , and making farming builds , and yes i do pvp too i'm rank 4 (i know it sucks) and my guild leader is 13 and is rank 7 , you are sooooo wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *pokes*

Mournblade · Jan 06, 2006, 04:16 PM // 16:16

I guess that i'm the equivalent of three 13 year olds then, because I play only PvE. =\

Kais Unduli · Jan 06, 2006, 04:54 PM // 16:54

I'm 24, and I play both aspects of the game. I paid the money for the game, so I'd like to get my money's worth.

I will say this: I've found that there are more jerks in PvE than in PvP. There are elitist snobs in both parts of the game, but those in PvE seem to be more pigheaded, and there seem to be more of them as well.

Francis Crawford · Jan 07, 2006, 01:39 AM // 01:39

My daughter is older than the guy who said that.

I play PvE exclusively at this time.

.defekt · Jan 07, 2006, 01:57 AM // 01:57

In some ways, the OP is completely correct. Example, Pre Searing Ascalon City, American discrict 1. I am so sick of all those stupid 13 year olds that set up TS channels just to chat, and they somehow believe that this game is like RL, because they all seem to want to have boyfriends or girlfriends. I am fed up them, honestly.

On the other hand, I believe that age doesn't rescrict skill whatsoever in this game. There are a lot of younger players that are no doubt better than me at both PvE and PvP.

I enjoy both PvE and PvP very much, as long as I am as far away from Pre Searing as possible.

Eldin · Jan 07, 2006, 02:02 AM // 02:02

Ignore that fool. There are some people who don't care about anything but mass fighting, while others are structured and enjoy quests and well-rounded aspects that make GW a MMORPG in ways, and not a mindless killing game. Tell him to keep his ideas to himself. I'm 12, and I'm a main PvE-er, but that's because I prefer quests and lore to pointless killing. I do arenas once in a while, but I'm not serious on PvP. Not to mention I've done roleplaying in text and other games, so I'm used to such.
---
1) PvE is enjoyable, others just have different tastes. Doesn't mean he can complain about it.

2) I just ignore the people who try to treat online games like reality - they either lack social lives or are a bit wrong in the head.

3) I don't care what age people are when they play MMORPGs - as long as they know how to not act like a fool (spamming, etc) and don't do the boy/girlfriend-ish things. I started my first MMORPG, RuneScape, when I was 8 or 9. I can barely remember any "immature" act committed during that time. It's also so heartwarming when a friend around your age gets one of their young siblings (10 and under) interested in the MMORPG you two play. It's happened to me before, I find it so heartwarming to help the young people with a good start.

rofl.

All of Xen of Heroes is 17+, and they have a LOT of members.

Arathorn5000 · Jan 07, 2006, 08:10 AM // 08:10

On the other hand, most of Xen of Onslaught, Onslaught of Xen, Xen of Sigils, and Xen of Onslaught ladder are 17+ as well, and those are pvp guilds

Lady Lozza · Jan 07, 2006, 12:03 PM // 12:03

Oh dear, where to start with this one??? Well the guy was obviously wrong since there are so many of us (myself included) over 20 who prefer (exclusively or not) PvE over PvP.

So where are the majority of the twats? Good question, I only ever do co-op (PvE) and PvP with friends and guildies because I've had so many BAD experiences taking others along. I used to help and run for free, but now I rarely do either because I've had so many people complain or just generally behave in an unpleasent manner. I dropped out of one Droks run because of the behaviour of two team members (after numerous warnings) and they map back to Beacon's telling them I scammed! At which point the two other runners who were there laughed their heads off because those two had quit the "paying party" to get a freebie. I grabbed the other 3 who had been the party and did the run for them. When I came back to Beacon's the two individuals concerned were still looking for a lift.
As for PvP sometimes you would think it is the end of the world to so much as discuss ANYTHING with someone under Rank 5. Or the PvP mainly players who won't allow you in their PvE co-op team because you aren't Rank 5.

There is no age limit for PvE (or PvP for that matter), and there is no age limit on stupidity.

DFrost · Jan 07, 2006, 01:26 PM // 13:26

I'm 21 and haven't touched PvP much. I have never been into the hardcore gaming scene, whether it involves guilds, clans or whatever. Reasons:

-I'd have to practice. No thanks, I play to unwind. If I spend time practicing something, it's going to be music, not a video game.
-I'd probably have to play matches when I don't feel like it. Again, no thanks, I don't want playing to be a burden for me.
-I'd face a lot of uptight, uber-competitive people, although certainly not everyone in PvP is like that. I'll also admit that there are probably less stupid people in organized GvG than in PvE.

G-SAS · Jan 07, 2006, 03:49 PM // 15:49

No not only 13 year olds play PVE, there are some with 12 oder even 11.

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?

I play pve once a week w/a friend of mine on lan, but since he was on vacation over the holidays, I hung out in snowball arena for a couple days and had a blast.
it all depends on who your playing with.
I just don't see myself getting into the pvp scene, though.
seems like kind of a pain in the ass.

just worry about what you like, not what everybody else likes --- it's your time, not theirs.

Ultimate_Gaara · Jan 07, 2006, 09:02 PM // 21:02

Eh, PvE is ok, the only problem is the same as 90% of all games, replay value... or rather lack of it.
