Default PvE, PvP or a mix.Vote please!

After announcement of Chp.2 there is more and more things to do IN PvE, and PvP is getting more and more dissapointing for a casual player so the question is what do u like more PvE or PvP in GW? I myself all for pure PvE and 1v1 PvP!

I'm still in pve. I have to admit of being terrified of learning pvp though, something about hating being abused due to no knowledge of how to go up against people... and prefering to take a char I just spend hours on getting through the game and knowing how that char works into pvp.

And yes, I'm a casual player.

No mates, i am voting for the PvP thing of the game, because there you really interact with other ppl, vent/ts making build ..

i dont see making builds that much in PvE

purely pvp. gvg to clarify. because tombs and pve seem too similar to me. in tombs, you farm fame to get a nifty emote to show off, and in pve you farm gold to get nifty fissure armor to show off. granted, i do love my tiger emote and my fissure armor, but it just seems really mindless after a while with no real goal. gvg is for the greater good ^^

Mainly PvE, but enjoy GvG also.

Not keen on tombs at all.

waiting for oblivion is terrible... it really is -_-
i hope ddo beta will help me over the time *thumbs pressed for my application*

#back to op
keep pve and pvp... it works, why take one away? there is always something you can do - either venture around tyria or hop to comp-arena for a quick challenge (which mostly ends up in 1on1-4) or get into teamarena & gvg... if you can stand rude people go to tombs. (no offense)
i never expected guildwars to cure my rpg-needs like the elder scrolls series or some other classics did.
well i gotta go to tyria O_o

I pve when i aitn pvping just to pass time but i found pve can get pretty repetivatie after a while,but still good. I prefer PVP because do it with my guild only and now each other and have a laugh ect so makes it more fun,im
r6 almost r7 and PVP owns although gettign annoyed with the use of IWAY which means you cant try really strange build because have to be rdy to counter IWAY.

Both. If you don't play PvP, you're missing out on over half the game. It's called a *Competitive* Online RPG, BTW.

I have the feeling that most people who *only* play RP mode would rather be playing WoW if they could afford it. PvP is really where Guild Wars excels.

GvG ftw! I like the variety of builds and strategies that you get when you GvG. Of course it really helps to be able to GvG a lot everyday . . .

PvP is ok. I like the random arenas. I just wish there was a way to limit for the lower level areas which are my favorite (Yak's Bend, Ascalon). I hate that people use end game equipment and armor and then feel the need to think they are better because they won. (Don't forget elite skills too)

So I am giving my vote for PvE. I always have loved the storyline and really I felt it was a bit short. Missions should have requirements like completing quests or something. Maybe dynamic missions where something changes depending on what quests you have done..

And Grimm I thought it stood for Co-opperative Online Role Playing Game (CORPG)

I started with pure PvE. At the time I didn't enjoy PvP at all. Over time, I started to enjoy PvP ... mostly because it's fun to experiment with builds.

PvP is my favourite - I actually feel some sense of achievement when winning - you have to be in a good guild to enjoy pvp though, or have lots of friends that play the game. Random Arenas can just be frustrating

I think GvG is great, it tends to have a lot less pointless abbuse than the tombs does, with exceptions. Tombs is fun, but last time I tomb'd with a PuG the rifts still existed - to enjoy pvp you have to be organised I find.

PvE is still great though - just gets repetitive after a while imo

I do both. Right now mostly PvP. But after a while I get tired of that and go back to PvE for a while, then back, etc....

When I pvp its mostly random since neither one of my guilds do much pvp....(when I'm on)

99% PvE.

Not enough variety in arena to keep me interested and tombs is full of ts/vent/must be rank 568!!!1

In PvE i can play wherever i want, without any hassle whatsoever and i get some cool items while i play.

get a group of friends / guildies together and go to a difficult zone and you can have an awesome amount of fun in PvE, regardless of how many times youve cleared that certain zone before

PvP.

Fight other people, have fun in competitive....


versus


Fight boring, stupid monsters over and over and over with no degree of uncertainty of what lies down the road ahead - which, by the way, always exists. Because you know how unexplored unknown lands where only a few Ascalons have ever travelled have well paved roads and nicely kept pathes. Don't forget about the ravines and cliffs that constrict your every whim of exploration.
