    Stopped playing PvP since they halved the damage in Cyrodiil way back. Performance was also better xD

    No pvp for me since I quit WoW and RIFT a decade ago. And in fact, never again.

    Probably around 60/40 PVE vs PVP, maybe 50/50.

    PvE all the way.

    I got bored of how terrible PvP in games usually is a LONG time ago.

    The constant imbalance, the garbage matchmaking, awful maps/game modes, the limitations on when you can play (Due to reliance on other players) etc.

    Gimme PvE any day of the week. Bonus points if it's solo PvE so not only can I do it of my own volition whenever that may be but I also don't have to rely on anyone else not being a total derp to succeed.

    The PvP in this game went really far downhill. It’s a great source for transmutes crystals though.

    Outside of that, nope! I respect my time way too much to be playing ESO PvP in 2024. I’m on console so we don’t have the new BGs yet, but I’ll give that a try for 1-2 weeks just because it’s real new content.

    The poll asks which one you play MORE. Not which do you play. So those posting 60/40 and such for "other" didn't read the poll.

    Or the "Only PvP" or "Only PvE" options.

    I have no interest in PvP.

    Giving these bgs a month because I think it would be shortsighted to dismiss them without trying my best to understand zos' vision for this new format. So far I am not impressed. I was hoping i was wrong.

    Gave up on pvp around the time dark convergence entered the chat, outside of events, due to the usual complaints: performance issues, balance, ballgroups.

    And also because imo there really isn't a great pvp option for a more casual player. I'm getting older and busier and less competitive and don't have the time / desire to put in the time to stay competitive. Particularly given the poor state of pvp - if I feel the need to pvp at this point, I look elsewhere to scratch that itch with less frustration.

    I really dislike PvP. I have never liked playing any games against other people; I much prefer playing cooperatively if I can't play solo.

    The fact that there's no 'intro-level' PvP is also a major problem. I mean, yeah we have U50 campaigns, but that doesn't get solved by the fact that 1) just because someone is over lv 50 that they are suddenly a PvP expert, and 2) there are expert PvPers who just live in the U50 areas and trade gold gear between alts so they can still win.

    But really, I just don't like competition. And nothing they ever do to PvP is going to make me enjoy it.

    Sadly mostly PvE now a days but that’s because my playtime is limited and my main class isn’t fun to play in Cyro.

    I was mainly PvP, but got fed up with the stagnation in Cyrodiil. As long as ballgroups exist I think I will avoiding it in ESO. I do miss 8 vs 8 in SWTOR where the class balance and forcing players to be good at either healing, tanking or dealing damage, not all 3 of them, made the PvP so much more fun.

    Is SWTOR something you want to go back too or still play? It would be cool to see the devs take inspiration from other games in the MMO space.

    I PvP or solo PvE. Often sits about 50/50 or 40/60. My experiences with group PvE are always so awful and toxic I just can't stand pugging anything anymore. I do a dungeon when it's released for the skill point and quest, then never again.

    PVE when I’m actually playing ESO.

    Been on a big break lately waiting for something worthwhile. May explore the companions’ stories, but that’s really it.

    ZOS really needs a BIG showcase for 2025 imo

    I login, I get the daily goody, and increase my horse by one point. When I'm done with the last toon to max out horse, I won't login at all. I'll play it one day I'm sure...but right now, for me at least, playing is pointless.

    I only go into Cyrodil when I'm running low on transmute crystals. Tier one awards are pretty easy to get by repairing castles and taking resources.

    Swtor is quite dead unfortunately, more or less in maintenance mode. Problem for ESO is that balancing this would be a huge undertaking and probably not a popular one for say, solo players and some others. But I do miss playing a PvP healer in that game while I did damage like a wet noodle. Or playing dd and having to rely on healers for heals.

    Right now, I'm too close to it being 50/50 to pick one over the other.
    My #1 wish for ESO Today: Decouple achievements from character progress and tracking.
