Not very likely ANet will do this. It is very late in the game's life to make such a fundamental and doubtless very expensive to implement modification of this kind.

Give them any runes you find and get greens or collector weapons as you play more.

As for skills, if you been pvping a lot, you should have a good idea of what works. No need to have full unlocks on a pve char unless you intend to pvp with it. I've finished all 4 pve campaigns on my mules using no more than the 2 cap sigs you get for free, the free skills you get as quest rewards in the tutorials and the skills you get on the cheap before they hit the 1k cap. And heroe's come with whatever skills you unlocked on your account, so if you pvp a lot they should have full skill unlocks already.

They never needed to add insignias and runes and allow you to customize armor, they never needed to add heroes, nothing was ever "needed" per say to get PvE done but the convenience can not be denied. Sometimes you don't want to run the same build every time on every missions with the same setup so you're saying since a build works it's all you should run and not try anything new or have fun playing? People even make PvE into a big deal...

Argument from laziness? Please... You're not even trying.

You got plenty of room to run whatever builds you like. Heroes have full unlocks and you got plenty of leeway to run whatever build you want on your own character. You forget the skill bar is only 8 skills. Just skill quests and hero trainers give you more skills than you think. If you want to unlock everything on a pve character, then you'll just have to do it like everyone else has.

I think PvE access for PvP characters should be available, but limited to
- Events (Broadwalk, Halloween, Wintersday, New Year)
- Zaishen Mission-of-the-day

Forgive me for being rude but:

LOL i thought its the PvE players (im one of them) who are lazy

Now, here's a level 20 PvP'er wanting to have access to the PvE content. I'm telling you, even if your level 20, PvE will own you unless you start with level 1 character and learn how PvE is played.

You see, it wont take long to level 20 and its not boring (at least for us pve'er).

So, instead of asking anet to give you what you're asking for, why not just start in noob areas as noob. Don't be afraid to be called "noob" in pve, you will eventually learn.

I really LOL'ed (sarcastically) on the idea that everybody can start with PVP CHAR, Level 20 and start fighting level 1 (0) monsters. LOL that will be boring

you probably dont understand that we, pve players, do our best to level up our characters so that we can do better on every map.

but with all due respect to pvp players, i know that most of them started as pve players and developed their characters into a pvp. i respect those players. but here, starting with level 20 and wanting to have access to pve? OMG!!!

/signed. All characters and heroes have all skills, armor, insignias, runes, etc. unlocked and use something similar to the PvP equipment screen. But...

- Monsters do not drop any gold/drops.
- Limited to basic armor and weapon skins. (The skins available in the PvP equipment window)
- Cannot obtain any PvE titles.
- You can do quests+missions, but they offer no reward.
- Cannot open any chests.
- All PvE-only skills are unlocked at usable at their max rank.
- All towns are open.
- Cannot trade with people or open storage.

You can play PvE, but without any of the riches or prestige that come along with making a PvE character.

Strictly @ OP:
Interesting concept you put forth. However, I think you're really over-thinking PvE with multiple weapon sets and runes on all heroes with them running different builds. Sure, you may need to change up some things depending on the layout but it's definitely not a requirement.

I also find it interesting that some PvP players would want this. From what I see on this forum, most PvPers think PvE is broken and/or easy and I get the distinct feeling that PvE is beneath them. My OP there. However, as I said, it's an interesting concept. I have no problem with letting others have some fun in teaming up with friends for some good ole PvEing. If, in fact, that's all that's desired as we can't have peeps just re-rolling different tunes to take advantage of drops/chests.

/notsigned (from a pvp/pve person's perspective)

Really, this sounds like a pvp player who wants to get the pve titles etc. without doing any of the work. Along those same lines, if player X has all the pve titles can they pay gold and zaishen coins to get r9 hero?

And to agree with the other players, none of my heroes have any runes on them whatsoever. A couple have weapons from the bonus mission pack, a couple have the /bonus weapons, most have whatever blue crappy weapons they started with. For pve, that's good enough.
