These posts about the "death" of certain builds or classes for PvE and/or PvP have caused me to realize how many people are playing a different game from the one I play. I don't PvP, and I don't do veteran, end-game content. I like making interesting class builds, exploring the world and completing quests, and helping my friends with (non-stressful) group content. Sometimes I change my build on my main just to experiment with a different playstyle, and I can almost always find a way to make the new build viable since I'm not worried about veteran content that requires pushing the maximum viability out of my character.

I'm curious to know if I'm in the minority.

How do you play the game?

    Thanks for making the poll fit. I tried to come up with as many options as possible, without being overwhleming.

    I do PvE.
    I'd like to do veteran content one day, but I'm not ready for it yet. (Despite being CP 360. LOL. I'm still experimenting with rotations.)
    I might do some limited PvP later so I can experience a battle, but right now my only PvP experience consists of going through basic training, then getting ninja'd by a nightblade in stealth while trying to do a scouting mission. LOL! I laughed. I'm the worst soldier ever.

    I plan to do veteran PvE and some PvP eventually. But it's not a priority for me, I'm happy with open-world questing/exploring and normal mode dungeons. The way I'm going I may never get around to the other stuff but it's nice to know it's there if I ever run out of other things to do.

    Not much of a PVPer outside of EVE Online. And I am too low/new to be able to do end game content at this time.

    I do questing and crafting stuff mostly. However...

    Last night I decided to do some PvP so I could work on unlocking Vigor and it wasn't so bad. I just chose a full campaign and followed a large group from keep to keep. Smashed a few buttons here and there and got a lot of AP. It was fun.

    Questing, solo delves, solo public dungeons, overland exploration. Love 'same way same day' random informal groupings because I do not feel trapped or committed time wise. I want the ability to bail out of the game on short notice and feel it is unfair to do so when committed to a formal group. So my formal grouping is almost never.

    I'm strictly PVP. Only reason I even run any PVE content is to get the gear needed to run PVP.

    I do wish this game catered a bit more toward PVP players but I understand I'm in the minority.

    I mostly enjoy the lighter side of the game; though happy to participate in the World Bosses from time to time (and will try to solo them just to keep the modesty at a reasonable level), prefer to build and craft and quest. I also love to try out strange builds that would probably be splatted in less than 3 seconds in the more challenging content, but is a way of making the public dungeons seem just about right difficulty-wise.

    Hoping I can adapt to the sustain (and therefore damage) nerfs with my preferred playstyle. Should be fine with some tweaks rather than wholesale gear changes, but it's going to be a lot tougher on those that run the endgame higher difficulty content, I would think.

    I focus on both veteran, PvE content and PvP content.
    Both Pve (vet trials,vma,vdsa) and Pvp (small scale mostly).

    I paid for the game so I want to experience everything fully.

    However at the moment I prioritize Pvp more, it is less rigged, more adventurous, you can join anytime you want, don't need to wait till your trial group shows up.
