Why is their a PVE vs PVP player thing??

I am I the only one who likes PVE and PVP?

Yes. You certainly are the only one. You will be shunned by everyone in this game until you chose a side..

I like both, but the hardcore PvE demographic is experiencing record-shattering levels of butthurt regarding the upcoming PvP-centric DLC (because everything should cater to PvE'ers always and everyone elses playstyle is unimportant). So you have a rift on the forums between the people who are excited about the DLC and the dissenters who come here every day to cry.

Cyrodiil quest hubs and dungeons are my favourite content in game because they mix PvE and PvP.

Because people like different things. Go figure.

An active thread that's about a different topic from OP's question...

To me, this is all about where you come from.

I have the feeling that most (not all) PvP hardcores come from shooter games, or other games that are focused on playing against others to show that they're better than others, such as online sports game. It also includes people who were born in the multiplayer era. All theese 10-20 teenagers who had the internet the day they started playing video games are more akin to like PvP than those who spent most of their lives playing games to beat the game and collect everything there is to collect.

The PvE community, I think, mostly come from players who like RPGs. To use myself as an example, I started playing RPGs with Final Fantasy VI, my first MMO was Final Fantasy XI, and it was not a PvP mmo at all, although it was one of the best games i ever played. People there were all PvE players because there was little to no PvP. We want to tackle the challenges that the devs throw to us. We want to have done everything at least once before new content is released, we want to collect the collectibles, unlock the achievements, and in the end, beable to say: "when I left that game, I had done everything that could be done". PvE MMO comes very close to table-top RPGs such as Dungeons & Dragons.

Personally I find PvP boring. It's like doing PvE but with no real goal except, kill more often than you die... and it breaks the grouping dynamic. PvP builds are pretty much soloing builds. Because being a tank in PvP means nothing more than being hard to kill... You can't keep hate from other players, if they decide to go for your mage, there is nothing you can do about it. PvE is about cooperation, PvP is about showing off...

Answer to topic question:

Entitlement and Immersion.

(at least those are to blame according to the forums)

Because people of the internet love to moan and argue about stupid things
