A Rather Unscientific Poll of How You Play

There seems to be some debate as to who actually plays ESO, whether it's PvPers or PvEers or Solo's or folks in to Groupings. I realize that I can't possibly ask for all the specifics, and that, by it's nature, this forum cannot possibly yield a truly scientific result, but I, personally would find it interesting to see where you, honestly fall.

Of course all of us are required to start at the same point, but, that doesn't really determine where we go from there.

    Same. Actually would PvP more but I am addicted to changing builds all the time which has left me pretty broke and trying to complete my latest. lol

    If it wasn't for playing with builds, I would have an easy time leaving this game all together.

    I am confused about the options here, since you separated PvP and PvE from "solo/group/etc." Because what's the point of soloing or grouping if you're not PvPing or PvEing?

    Unless we're talking people that hang out solo/in group in towns and annoy people/talk/socialize/exercise naked...I suppose that could be a separate form of "play" unrelated to content...Hmm. I'll show myself out.

    A little of this, a little of that. I just don't relate to polls that attempt to place people into neat little categories because many people like myself don't fit them.

    Daily quest grinder, actually.
    That, and spam the Fighter's Guild bounties a lot, then just hunt the bandits and cultists in different locations each time.
    Like to do them while running my Kill Enemy Player dailies as well.

    Turning the tables on gankers is by far my favourite activity in the game -- nothing is quite so satisfying as having someone attack me at a quest hub and then they faceplant because they expected too little from me.
    It makes me reflect on the days of Highwaymen in Oblivion running up out of nowhere, instead of ESO mobs standing in one place or derping around.

    Have been role-playing different characters who explore various caves at differing times though.
    Cyrodiil is a big zone; even after completing all the non-repeatable quests, there is still fun to be had for me.
    Since the ownership over Keeps shifts constantly, it also means fluctuations in terms of enemy players in any given area at a time keeping things fresher.

    Chorrol and Cheydinhal are my favourite daily Quest hubs though, if that means anything to your assessments.

    My girlfriend and I have been doing Cyrodiil as our main questing and leveling zone since before ZOS ever gave in to my repetitious suggestion to increase the level of all Cyrodiil mobs and quests.
    That was indeed a happy day when they finally caved.

    This poll should be divided in multiple questions, I can't honestly answer it in its current form.

    Almost exclusively PvE. I have one PvP character, but she's only level 25.
    Solo with occasional grouping. I rarely seek out groups on my own, but I always jump in to help guildies if I can. I will seek out groups if I need to level Undaunted on alts or want to do pledges.

    I've only played solo so far but planing to start playing PVP once i get through the main story content. Always saw PVP as the end game content for ESO. Might get bored and give PVP a shot one of these days though.

    Mainly solo with group, but with a caveat.

    The "group" portion is only with my wife. I'm one of the cats who bought ESO in order to play a TES game cooperatively.

    Of course, the main story quest disallowed that, so meh.

    Also, I don't know if you're aware, but "mainly solo" and "mainly solo with ocasional group" are the same thing. The first one should be "only solo." And there should be an option "both equally" in both cases (PvP vs PvE, solo vs group).
