@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.

My arse it is.

Name one. Name one thing PVP has whined about that we didn't either agree with you or agree, and point to a similar situation where you told us to suck it up and enjoy PVP. Nobody likes grinding, you just dont like sharing.

Vigor comes to mind. Maelstrom which everyone hates, comes to mind.

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

Basicly this.

The servers are not even stable and there are better PVE games out there too. Wake me up when ZOS fires the combat lead.

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.

Really?... That's why you got vendors that sell monster helms right? Lol and gold jewelry right? Cause you guys don't *** about having to pve for something...yeeeeeah okay

It's not like you the "PvE player" can't buy the very same monster helms and shoulders... And jewelry, and armour pieces. No. It's not like they distinctly separated the two so both can enjoy it, one with PvE trait for gold cost, other with PvP trait for AP cost. You are soooo screwed over....
Seriously... That argument is as valid as... Aliens.

While YOU the PvE player can enjoy farming those helms AND buy them every week, a PvP player can only buy it, so you have much more chances of getting the pieces you want and much quicker by doing the content you enjoy.
And gear boxes... Don't be ridiculous. The box contains one very random overland piece which is non-specific with any trait. With actual overland farming, you have designated places in the zone where to farm which armour types drastically narrowing the randomness. It's not like they are sorted by armour types, weapon types, jewelry types, it's just a random bit. Out of 2m AP spent, you might have a chance of getting one piece you are after... Yay, only 11 more to go..

Waffennacht

Mostly PvP

But I do enjoy a good RP every once in a while.

And then when I do PvE... I get sucked in

So both... I suppose lol

Ghost-Shot

I ONLY PvP

I used to raid but now I do as little PvE as possible.

rotaugen454

I do both

I would hate to limit meself to one aspect of the game. I PvP, I quest, I fish, I craft, I decorate my homes, I chase achievements, I do group dungeons and trial with a guild or pug, and I sightsee while taking screenshots.

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...

Ya know this right here I've seen stated many times(bolded portion). This is either folks out right lieing or just ignorant of the game they are playing.

This game was design with PvP being end game content as was Dark age of Camelot,(the game for which the designers took inspiration from and a few were part of at the time.)

Want proof this is from Nov 2012
