    Leading question is leading.

    You have to pick one... deep down inside you there is one that wants to come out.

    No there really isnt.
    Is see the PvE areas as the PvP safe zones.
    Removing one or the other would simply destroy ESOs' centerpiece and culmantion of levelling..to enter Cyrdodiil in the middle of the map.

    For me the PvE is progression to prepare you for PvP combat.
    How do you split that ?
    How do you not wreck the whole story line and base game design ?
    It would be akin to ripping half the pages out of a book ta random... before giving it to someone to read.

    Imagine how awesome Cyrodiil could be if it were a giant quest zone... Oh wait they tried that, Craglorn. It would have been awesome going against the Empire and the Imperial Legion of this era.

    I play Elder Scrolls for PvE. The PvP in this game is laughable when you compare it to games with quality PvP. They had a great concept that fell flat on it's face and could not get back up. Also people say that PvE is stale but more than two years of the same battlefield is kind of worse. People are so bored out of there minds in Cyrodiil they just gank and tower farm.

    I don't care about PvP, never have and never will. If I'd be interested in PvP I'd play a MOBA or multiplayer FPS, but as I'm into questing, exploration and RP I'll stick to PvE.

    Though I would quit this game if PvP was removed. A game is no fun without PvP IMHO but without PvE it isn't a proper MMO.

    I had to think here.
    I love pve content I had no intention of ever entering Cyrodill when I started.
    However PVP for friends, I have had a different expierience to most the majority have been awesome, helpfull, funny I found the nicest people there. ( and they got me pvping too ;) ) and it was a few toxic pve players that almost drove me away. There are always a few but that's true of life in any group.
    But I'd never have pick up the game without PVE, I bought it because it was elder scrolls so quest, exploration are a must.

    PvP is just the same all the time, at least pve has story and other elements. Also don't like to be constantly on my keyboard and alert, sometimes it's good to chill with some easy quests.

    PvE>PvP

    At least for me.
    If I die tomorrow I do not want to think of the game I could of played today, therefor I will play whatever I want today while securing a future to play in as well.

    A true gamer will think of all the possible outcomes and execute the one that is the hardest to accomplish.

    PVE, but that's due to lack of PVP game modes I most enjoy. If ESO had small scale objective based battle arenas, and 1v1 duel areas. I would be much more conflicted about it.

    I do both, but PvP brings out toxic behaviour and whingeing that destroys the fun for everybody.

    PVP definitely! I would get too bored in PVE killing mobs rather kill others and show off my build.

    PvP is fun but PvE questing/dungeons/general stuff with friends is a lot more fun than PvP personally.

    ESO has the #1 open world pvp with the #1 graphics with the #1 fighting mechanics.

    I cannot decide! I love both, I play both.

    And in my opinion to be good in PvP you need to do some PvE for the best gear, etc...; and the reverse ofc: you need to PvP to unlock the skills and sometimes there are PvP gears which can be usefull in PvE as well. :smile:

    I prefer cooperation AND competition.

    You need more categories, as I usually can't stand questing yet I love completing difficult group content and being competitive.
