Do you PvP?

Well, title says it! I got kinda curious because people say the PvP population is very small compared to the rest of the game(PvE, questing and other things included).
Consider PvP as Battlegrounds or Cyrodill. Consider PvE as Dungeons/Trials/Arenas(No questing).
Please keep it constructive, alright?

Yup, that's the only thing I do in ESO in terms of combat. No PvE for me.

    I pvp until I meet a goal and then I stop.

    Like recently I really wanted the Firedrake Sabatons style page from Battlegrounds for a new character.

    Ugh.

    It’s thrilling but I don’t like it. Makes me feel bad man. Even if I win.

    I remember killing these new players who couldn’t get a swing in and thinking how I was disgusted with myself. When that happens to me, when I meet a coordinated team with timed bursts and no real TTK, I just shrug it off, I’m used to dying and I’ve resigned myself to it.

    I mean, the majority of the time I either lose or it’s an equal matching of effort but every once in a while I’ll win, not because of inching by or through tactics, but because of how utterly obviously new someone else is and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    The one I picked myself was intended to be the 50/50, but I guess I should've been more clear.

    Almost every day. I have 2 dedicated characters, one designed for no cp BG's the other for cyro cp pvp. I enjoy the entire game, character building, questing, crafting, dungeon crawling, fishing, etc. You name it I'm dabbling in it.

    Don't hate it, but am CP1086 and alliance war rank 21 on my main and still don't feel like I know how to make a good build. It feels like how to play keeps changing and I need too many loadouts to be useful, let alone competitive in the different PvP play styles (overland, dueling, deathmatch, domination, chaos ball etc). With the latest shield changes I have played less because I can't be bothered trying to figure out what I need to change anymore and am not that interested in having a PvP only character any more as the main thing keeping me interested in the game is achievement hunting and as they are not account wide I don't see the point in having more than a few alts anymore.

    It's nice in doses, but you wouldn't see me playing Battlegrounds all day...I'd probably go mad if I were to do that after dying to the 50th Stamwarden. Fortunately, I've been working on my own PvP Stamwarden kit.

    Welcome, Moon-and-Star, to this place where destiny is made.

    I play healers or DPS often for vet dungeons and trials (NA, CP810+). I play mostly elves or Argonians.
    I primarily play Damage-Based stuff in PvP, but occasionally I'll play something tanky or got the heals.
    I also love gaining more knowledge both metaphysical and mundane regarding TES lore.

    I also occasionally role-play, but I prefer playing the game.

    I play both pretty equally. I've been playing PvE more since Murkmire, since my magicka PvP toons were pretty thoroughly borked by it and I haven't had the time or the energy to rebuild them into something usable, but overall, yeah. Pretty even split for me.
