Default PvE -> PvP Change

I know that PvP is very good and all as it is, but people always call others "PvE noobs" when they see that the person has a PvE armour, and they leave... I think that PvE players should be allowed to have a bonus of some sort over PvP characters, as a kind of reward to longer playing characters, from anything of 15 more attributes, or, slightly higher armour rating, even the new pve only skills to be allowed in pvp etc.
if you have any ideas, of how to balance it, so pve characters could be more rewarded than pvp ones, please share

I think you COMPLETELY missed the point of that ''PvP only character'' creation mechanism...

Are you F'ing serious?

If you knew what you were doing in PvP you would be on a PvP only and you would not have people calling you a PvE noob, you PvE Noob.

You guys have responded rather harshly to what was an innocent question.

I can see where you are coming from, but I suppose for all intents and purposes, they should have prevented pve characters from doing pvp, because pvp are designed down to the flawless detail, while pve can only be downhill from that.

I don't think there should be a bonus. Rather, I think they should keep pve characters from being able to do pvp, at least with other pvp chars.

The problem with that is PVP'ers will justifiably want maximally powerful characters, and will feel forced to play PVE, and why should they, if they don't like it? It would also completely invalidate a ton of work Anet has put into the PVP-only character creation process.

And it won't do a thing to change the fact that people starting PVP from a PVE background aren't going to be very good at first, and some immature experienced players will be royal jerks about it.

If they listened to your suggestion you might be the only person playing PvP.

I'm sorry buy I just keep coming back to this thread to LMFAO!

I like the "Hey let me use my PvE Only skills in PvP" I guess he has totally missed the whole concept of those.

Then there is the "Any Ideas on how to Balance overpowering my PvE Char for PvP, please share". OMG LOL, classic.

Reward longer playing Characters? I have PvP onlys that have been around longer than some of my PvE's, should they be rewarded too there Cap't Smacktard?

Anyne else keep rereading that post and saying "WTF?" then just shaking your head and laughing?

As much as it pains me to say... i'd have to agree.

What the hell is with all the stupid ideas recently? PvE chars should be buffed over PvP chars? Cripple should cause knockdown? Where the hell did these people come from...

Skill based PvP is one of the main reasons why I prefer GW over WoW. Instead of getting nailed because your opponent farms more or has rich friends, you get nailed because you're stupid.

Calm down everyone! By the five true gods are you trying to drive the person into the ground.

I'm a PvE player, I'm very medium at PvP but all this is very harsh.

No, PvE characters shouldn't be given a bonus in PvP, it's silly and makes no sense. If you want to do PvP make a pvp char or have perfect pve armour with max stats weapons. But I'd like to know how they tell you've got pve armour when you can unlock armor skins in pvp?

I almost exclusively play PvE, but even I can see what's wrong with that.
