anonymous · Jul 05, 2006, 03:40 PM // 15:40

yo home boi · Jul 05, 2006, 03:42 PM // 15:42

Man thats kool i dont see y anybody would flame at ur opinion

anonymous · Jul 05, 2006, 03:48 PM // 15:48

People flame opinions all the time, and posting mine would just be flamebait.

AW Lore · Jul 05, 2006, 04:08 PM // 16:08

i preffer... both pve and pvp.

doing too much of one side bores me, so when i do too much pvp, pve time, and when i do too much pve, well pvp time

w00t · Jul 05, 2006, 04:14 PM // 16:14

im not so much a pvp like the running after ppl all the time

Pve are the story none in Pvp just hack and slash to glory

tho the only Pvp i have done are the AB 12vs12 but its fast getting dull and i find myself going for quests/missions again ...

I am almost pure PvE. I love to explore and there is plenty of that to do in GW. I have one character that has Grandmaster Cart for both continents and am currently working on my second. The addition of titles was brilliant in my opinion and will keep me playing for a long time. I love this game!

WasAGuest · Jul 05, 2006, 04:49 PM // 16:49

People flame this topic all the time for odd reasons; as if flaming will suddenly alter ones' opinion or state of mind on their prefered play style. Lets hope the flameboys stay away as I am always interested in differing points of view and love to hear the whys.

I'm 100% PvE in GW. I've tried the PvP in GW but really didn't care for the way it played; it was too rushed and had other issues I didn't care for.

Of course, one of the things that makes GW good IMO is that it can cater to different playstyles so well. I mean, look at how rabid players become when the style they enjoy gets put down. hehe

Marodac Evilbane · Jul 05, 2006, 05:03 PM // 17:03

Although I am mostly a PvE player, I do enjoy some PvP and GvG every once in a while. I am currently looking into how to get my guild more involved in PvP, while keeping it's focus on PvE

fiery · Jul 05, 2006, 05:15 PM // 17:15

I'm PVE and PVP.

dansamy · Jul 05, 2006, 05:20 PM // 17:20

I play both. I played exclusively PvE until about late June last year. Then, I started PvPing. I got all of my rank 3 fame during the PvPX weekend, which was loads of fun. (And I still have a soft spot in my heart for smiting.

) After a while, I started making my PvE monk PvP-ready, which meant capping elites I had unlocked through faction already. (YAY!!! For having to buy a skill more than once.)

bpphantom · Jul 05, 2006, 06:35 PM // 18:35

I'm all about the PvE.
I don't like all the emotion that goes into PvP and no matter how it ends up, there's always anger, at least a little and maybe not directed at the players, but it's still there.

GW: P and GW: F provice enourmous areas to explore, a pretty decent story and a system that makes forming a team with only one or two friends easy (henchies). It is a beautiful game to look at and I like taking my time and wandering (level 17 E/Mo and only just got to Lions Arch with missions still behind me to finish yet).

Daemon Dremora · Jul 05, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

i am about 90% pve. i havent done any pvp in a while but once i get my guild built up i want to start doing some gvg. but it seems that only the guilds with ts or vent can compete in the top ranks. i have heard rumors that anet is going to be coming out with their own voice chat system that everyone that plays gw's can use it for free. that would definitely help my guild out and i would then do alot more gvg. but until then i am playing pve.

Zakarr · Jul 05, 2006, 06:54 PM // 18:54

Mostly PvE but I like PvP matches which are somewhat random like Random Arena, Alliance Battles, Fort Aspenwood and Jade's Quarry. Organized PvP matches are a bit too serious for my taste.

Yanman.be · Jul 05, 2006, 06:55 PM // 18:55

Both. I like pwning those poor AI buggers, and I like pwning those poor bugger that don't HAVE any intelligence, AKA 99% of RA's Whammo's.

Winstar · Jul 05, 2006, 07:07 PM // 19:07

I prefer PvP but I also enjoy PvE. When I began playing I was exclusively PvE and I tried to squeeze just about every drop of value from that aspect of the that I could. Then it started to get a little old. PvP provided a whole new maze of possibilities that reminded me a lot more of the days when I played Magic (looks around nervously for incoming flame). I find now that there is more sustainable depth in PvP, but I also still enjoy pve. I've simply begun spending more of my time on the other side of the GW coin. Of course someday when all my wealth is wasted on buying cool stuff for my pvp toons I'll be forced back in the salt mines of farming.

Skuld · Jul 05, 2006, 07:11 PM // 19:11

Both here

Gorebrex · Jul 05, 2006, 07:17 PM // 19:17

Never PvP, and dont understand its popularity. If I want to play against other people, I play FPS games. Other than that, none.

Spike · Jul 05, 2006, 07:20 PM // 19:20

Defenatly PVE for me. I tried pvp but found it boreing and was also tired of all the 12 year olds insulting me when I lost or beat them.
