Would ESO have been Viable without PvE?

Gilvoth

i wish eso was full PvP, and it is what i wanted and was expecting it to be when launched.

FULL open world PvP like every other mmo that is good.

instead it mostly pve which is one of the reasons why it has low sales and is not very high on the market right now.

not trolls, this is just the correct point of view from us who love PvP.

But then what would all the fanboys do? Lol

stay in the safe zones and ask for a pve server, just like we are asking for a PvP server.

So, no DLC? No need for crafting bags due to no mats issues? What would the revenue model be?

I have long wished ZOS would spin off AvA as its own game. I think it could be more successful without the burden of the *boring* PVE grinding of ESO.

This would be great so I could tell people where to go when they complain about being killed by class X.

You mean without 4 years of MMO baggage, a series of terrible "first" impressions, and a persistent, irreconcilable identity crisis chock full of self-contradictory goals and design decisions?

Then yes.

It also would have been viable as a true sandbox i.e. 4-player Skyrim... or as a Call of Duty style FPS. It also would have been viable as as a MOBA or as a flying dogfight style game where everyone rides dragons or even viable as a WoW clone.

...if it had a different Dev team.

And a different IP.

Could be, but would be smaller

We do have games to fight each others and they are working :-D

OK let's settle this, a PvE vs PvP tournament.
Oh wait...

Obvious bait is obvious LOL, can't believe so many people fell for this.
