Not only no but HELL no. *shudder* I spent time on a pvp server in WoW with a friend's guild years ago now. 4 months was all I could handle.

Never going there again.

Well, you know, PvP is like Fisherman's Friend...

I pvp have found battlegrounds given raids can be messed up a easy to gain vet levels

ESO is my game to chill. PVP brings cancer to every game and I'm happy I can rest in ESO after doing it.

Honestly I would just get slaughtered!

My combat has no strategy and I usually just go for it - mainly because I just fight for the achievement or leveling not the pleasure.

What a weird definition of PvE! Well, anyway, yeah. I guess I don't do either by the poll definitions. I like taking my time and doing what I want when I want on my own schedule without having to worry about other people counting on me for anything.

I have done PvP in a few other games, but enjoyed it most in SWL and GW2's WvW. Otherwise, it's kind of a drag. Shambala, the SWL free-for-all with equal rewards for all was some of the most enjoyable player vs. player content I've ever experienced. You go in, you do your thing, and chances are some random environmental thing kills you. I also enjoyed WvW in GW2 a great deal before they changed how servers are grouped together. My no-name non-tier server was grouped with and competed against similar tier servers. The Fort Aspenwood people were very relaxed and easygoing. I miss that. Everyone's so tightly wound up in other games-- especially this one.

None of the above.
I do Cyrodiil on my healer to earn necessary rank to be able to buy some animated siege machines for my houses.

Even though I totally suck..... love it.....

My preferable option is not mentioned in poll. Should be between
- That's what I MOSTLY do. Gotta run some dungeons for gear and skill points that I'll use in PvP, right?
and
- I PvP when I feel like it. Not my favorite, but I don't hate or reject it either.
I play when I feel like it. Many aspects of TESO are my favorite: PVE, PVP and crafting

Well, I actually somewhere in between the option I voted and the next one ("It's like bitter medicine to me. I PvP for the skill lines, and only for that...").
Sometimes I feel like it, but then I get smashed by NB ganker or tea-bagged by a group of kids, I lose so much Tel-Vars and I just rage quit.
BTW, my PvP is IC only. Cyrodiil is pretty boring and zerg-ish. BGs are just a mess.

Oh another useless poll thread.

I do Cyrodiil occasionally, mostly for the fringe benefits like the trans crystals. I do enjoy it a lot though, in short doses. To me it feels almost like playing another game.

I used to do both, back when overworld questing actually required some skill and forward planning. You know, when vet zones were hard and Doshia could wipe your ass if you were too slow. I did all the original dungeons at level as healer or dps (or both) and loved it. I joined PvP at level 25 (I think) and was instantly hooked, rolling a character of every class to try different approaches and builds. I'd log on, do a few quests, 1 or 2 dungeons then enter PvP.

Then things began to change.

Overworld questing became a challenge-less faceroll, the zones only useful for farming set-pieces. New dungeons became less about learning mechanics and working well as a team and were instead mindless dps races populated by an elitist class obsessed with speed and numbers... also to farm gear in most cases. One-shot mechanics if your team was too slow, endless repetition to try and get the parts you want, toxic pug's to make it more of a chore than a joy....

PvP was all that was left to me and that has seen its share of troubles with lag, toxicity, exploits, broken mechanics, and imbalance. It is still an unpredictable challenge though, and real world skill and reaction time still make a difference.

And like it or not, there is still nothing else out there with anything like as good as ESO's real-time PvP combat. I hate to love it but there it is.

pvp is fun to play but it is still need better class balance in my opinion.

i just dont “get it.”

Not getting it is fine, describing it as "silly nonsense" is needlessly provocative, especially considering the part of the community you are aiming that at is by nature confrontational.

Personally, I don't get how pitting yourself against something that doesn't think and does the same thing every time, thus negating the need for adaptive responses, can be viewed as challenging.
