/signed only if they also have a version with just PvE and none of the PvP 'fluff', as the OP used the term.

In addition, I'd also like to see a PvE only version at a cheaper price, for those of us with no interest at all in PvP - shouldn't be that hard blocking access to the battle Isle.

As a side note: I do not like PvP at all. This is also currently, one of my favorite threads. Why?
Not only does it show a desire on the players side for optional ways to purchase the game, but it shows that there is a player base that is interested in one form of play and not the other.
Maybe, enough sigs on this will alert Anet to this fact and they will stop trying to shove PvP down my throat and stop shoving PvE down the throats of those not interested in it. /here's hoping

They end up developping both contents anyway. Assuming they sell both versions at half price, they'd have to sell twice as many just to turn the same profit (actually more than twice, half price probably yields far less than half the profit). All the while, server load will not decrease, as hardcore PvPers will play about as much as before, and so will PvE only players.

This seems risky at best, at least to me. I play very little PvP, but I don't mind paying for a full package, as I find Guild Wars is already pretty cheap all in all. Actually, I went as far as buying both collector editions, just to show my approval of the no-monthly-fee concept. Let them make at least a little money !

Not signed.

Guild Wars depends on unit sales to survive without montly fees. If this was to be introduced, I'd rather see a full $50 game, and a $10+$5-10/month PvP-only version.

You already have no monthly fees. You can't ask them to cut in the very thing that's making that possible.

I'd buy it; in fact, I suggested the same thing weeks ago in a similar discussion. So, great idea!

I think it shows that many mainly-PvE players are looking for the same thing, and perhaps explains why many PvE players are disappointed with Factions.

I don't even need new skins and pets. I just want more to do with my existing characters. For that, I don't need new professions or new skills. I mean, if you PvE only, how many times do you want to start over with a level 1 character?

As far as the original suggestion goes, even though I only PvE, I can see the merit. But as others have said, the game is already cheap. Given that you'd get months of play out of it, I still think you should pay full price, whether it be for PvP or PvE.

the product could be made just to unluck skills faster for those people who want the skills and not pve at all. I don't see the harm in that maybe this a good idea.

/unsigned... i know pvp > pve... if your good at it.. but pve and pvp should be bundled otherwise the segregation between pvpers and pvers would widen may lead to more hatred... from both ends.

BeowulfKamdas · Jun 09, 2006, 07:58 PM // 19:58

yeah this is probably a pipe dream. Just suck it up and buy the complete package~!

/signed - Only if they make "no fluff" PvE only chapters/expansions as well
