The PvE vs PvP Poll

Jitterbug

Inspired by another thread on PvE vs PvP I want to see how many do both.

FloppyTouch

I do both

I like to do everything in a mmo that way I don't get bored or burnt out. I find the people that hate this game or don't enjoy playing it as much are the people that limit themselves to just one part of it.

Subversus

I do both

You know the funny thing about ESO, we pvp players have to do pve to get gear, and we don't complain. But when pve players have to do something in pvp it's hell on earth man, they destroy the forums.

Hippie4927

I do both

I'm trying to get all the achievements so I have to do both and I enjoy both.

Lol thats funny... Forums are full of threads cryingfor nerfs, and they always come from the pvp crowd mate xD

@Coilbox that's irrelevant to my statement, pve players will never complain about procs because bosses in vmol can't use it against you. Once you feel how it is to be beaten up by a worse player and lose not because of his skill but because of the gear he is using you will understand why balance is important.

Meanwhile we are still forced to do crapDSA or rageMA or whatever else to get gear and there is no going around that time sink.

I do both but I prefer PvE.

RupzSkooma

I do both

Squeezing everything out of it is what I like the most .

Ah yes... and I presume both the Golden and the Regional Equipment Vendors force the PvPers into PvE-land then?

Vrienda

I do both

Mostly solo PvE, but I do dungeons and Cyrodiil from time to time too.

Flaminir

I do both

Everything...

PvE (Solo, group, dungeons, trials... everything!)
PvP
Trading
Crafting
Housing
Questing

Literally everything in game...

Which is good in some ways, as I don't get bored & always have things to do that I enjoy for whatever mood I'm in..

In other ways its bad because OMGWHEREDOISTARTTHERESTOOMUCHTODO!!!!!

(And then times this by 12 charachters! )

I ONLY PvE

thats because you pvp players hand us our bodyparts after you remove them from us so easily

You need both to be all round player. Also, I would advise to at least try more than one class, it is most helpful.

Morgul667

I do both

I like to PVP as well as vet trials I also like to play multiple class and roles, it helps to understand the game and other people better

Threads with titles such as this are very annoying. It's like I start writing an answer and ...

klowdy1

I ONLY PvE

I jump in cyro on my stam characters because caltrops and vigor are needed for most stam builds.

Khenarthi

I do both

Admittedly though, for me PVP is only 5% of my ESO time.

Well, might be not relevant, but you just generalised about the fact. Maybe not every PVP player complains about having to do PVE to gear up, but also not every PVE player complains about having to do PVP. Both sides sometimes enjoy the other's...

Anyway, the PVP feature of the game is that, a feature. The PVE side is the main thing, its way bigger. This game was meant as a PVE game originally, allowing a PVP side of course, cause it engages a lot of people. But the bacon is in the PVE experience...

AnviOfVai

I ONLY PvP

PVP only, occasional come out of PVP to buy gear/get gear but other than that...

It's the name of a (drinking) game.

So I was being totally clever with the title. Clever things do have a tendency to also be annoying, though...

edit: Changed it now

Bashev

I ONLY PvP

I play PvE to get gear/skills for PvP.

I do both

There's a very high chance that people who do both are the silent majority. That's the exact reason why ZOS don't want to balance PvP and PvE separately - ZOS have data showing that the majority do both, and balancing PvP & PvE separately will screw up that portion of the playerbase.

MLGProPlayer

I ONLY PvE

I only do PvE.

I get anxiety knowing that PvP in an MMO will never be balanced, so I don't touch it. I play MOBAs for PvP instead. Exactly the same thing as an MMO, but balanced strictly for PvP.

That was sort of the outcome I was expecting when creating this poll, thus highlighting that the "war" between PvE and PvP doesn't really exist as the clear majority of us do both.
We need more votes though, but the tendency is clear.

I do both

I get bored with one and move to the other until it gets old then move back

Vaoh

I do both

For people who only PvP, I can't believe you're still here considering the terrible game performance. Props to you.

Betsararie

I do both

I enjoy all parts of the game (when it's not lagging or I'm getting DC'd).

SFDB

I ONLY PvE

I only PVP if there is a really good reason to, though that could change if the AP amounts awarded are improved (hint hint ZoS).

Sixsixsix161

I ONLY PvE

I did a little PvP when I played ESO in 2015, but I'm lousy at it, and every 1v1 (when I was going around trying to do quests, and stuff) is a painful loss. Towards the end, when someone ran over to kill me, I just stood there and let him beat me, no use using health potions and other things on a lost cause.

Since I returned about 4-5 months ago, I have only PvE'd, although since I have completed Cadwell's Gold, I may try it again but with a guild. I'm OK PvP'ing in a group, I can hide in the center lol.

Salmonleap

I ONLY PvE

I've given up on PvP in ESO. Too broken. Too laggy. Better PvP games exist. Wake me when Cyrodiil is fixed.
