Depends on my mood. Pvp 90% of the time for me unless i have to farm gear or level a character.

Mostly PVE. I still feel I need to learn more about PVP and have a proper gear setup, before I throw myself at other players.

I do mostly pve and some cyrodiil. I only really do open world stuff. Not interested in dungeons, arenas, trials or battlegrounds. I have done them for the gear, stuff like blackrose prison, asylum, citadel and veteran dungeons, but hate them and am glad when I'm done them. I like public dungeons the most so far. Wish there was more of them and they had dailies and were harder.

PVE for now. I've tried PVP in other games, but only when I'm comfortable with the gameplay and have RL friends to play with.

Don't care for PvP. My characters who want Vigor / Caltrops / Barrier etc have gone to Cyrodiil just long enough to get what they need.

Aside from that, all PvE here. And +90% of my PvE time is happily solo.

I would have been more interested to see a Endgame vs. Overland poll.

Deathmatches till I fall asleep. In-between that I occasionally try to do some trials.

I enjoy PVP more but you gotta do so much PVE for gear, NPC guild skill lines & skills, it ends up about equal.

Mostly PvE, with some PvP on the side.

Mainly PVE. But i play enough PVP to get monthly 50 transmute and daily random battlegrounds. I find PVP in MMO's generally lackluster since most of them works on rock–paper–scissors mentality. It requires so much invesment and i find AvAvA flawed. I rather play pure PVP games when i want to play against people.

I don’t like confrontation! 😳

But seriously, I think like so many, I’m here first and foremost for the Elder Scrolls experience, close to the single player games. Or as close as you can get in an MMO.

I have dipped my toes into some Cyro PVP, and while it was exciting, it was also a little stressful. I’m a team player and hate to let anyone down, and I just don’t have the gear or knowledge of how to be good at this game’s PVP.

I do wish the devs could find a way to separate PVP skills/balance from PVE. Trying to make it all one-size-fits-all only makes everyone chafe from the poor fit, and makes so many unhappy when a much beloved class/skill/play style gets radically changed in the endless quest for “balance”.

I’m not a competitive player, but I feel for people who are. Gaming is many things to many people: a source of entertainment, excitement, relaxation, escape from real life stresses and sorrows, and the list could go on and on. When something you love and have so much invested in, emotionally and financially, gets taken away or radically changes, it hurts.

I saw a joke post last night on the forums here, talking about the stages of grief, and while yeah, it’s good for a laugh, I think it’s also good to understand that people are sad and angry, and have some compassion and extend a bit of grace. The pain is real, the sadness is real, and I’m sorry so many in this community are upset right now.

Further, I wouldn’t want to be a game dev or community manager for all the gold in the world. I can’t imagine having angry or dissatisfied customers sending me hate messages or insulting me personally. We gamers are a demanding lot, and of course when we pay for something, we expect to receive satisfaction from our purchase, and deservedly so. The nature of games as a product, I think, can make that kind of tricky...

And....how did this get so long? 😅

TL;DR

I’m wishing love and light to everyone in this community: PVPers, PVEers, and all the ZOS worker bees. I think this ESO virtual village is full of some pretty great and interesting people, and I’m still happy to be part of it. Warts and all. 🥰

These days I pretty much live in Cyro. For the first several years I played, I only played PvE though. First game I've ever done PvP type stuff and I love it so much lol, you never know what will happen or how a fight will end. I think anyone who wants to try it but might be nervous should come out and play with us.

Both. Depends on mood.
