PvE exp vs PvP ex - Guild Wars Forums

This might sound quite stupid, but I was wondering how much exp PvP gives compared to PvE. Do you get exp in PvP by killing people, winning the round, or both? I know PvE is what you use to level up, but I read that PvP gives exp too, so how much? Enough to PvP over and over to level?

PvP gives the same exp per kill basically. If your level 10, and you kill a level 10 player, in a group of 4 you get 25 xp. Whether its PvP or not. However, you dont kill players as fast as mobs, so PvE is far more lucrative for exp. Also, PvE has quests and missions for easy exp gain. Hands down PvE is more exp.

If your going to PvP over and over, and you want to avoid PvE, just make a PvP character, you will be level 20 and exp wont mean much to you.

I spent most of my 7-10 and 13-15 levels in the arenas. The exp there is not bad, and a bonus to leveling there is that when you go to do the missions/quests they aren't quite as hard since you're a bit more powerful than you otherwise would be. But I just PvP'ed for fun, not to level. If you're just looking to level, then PvE will be faster.
