    You needed at least two more choices.

    I do more PvE than PvP but enjoy both. Not in equal amounts though so no choice is good for me.

    Approximately 70% PvE, 30% PvP. No option for me in the poll. You should replace "PvE is all I see" with "PvE is my main scene".

    That was my thought as well. I PvE more than PvP but have spent plenty of time in both over the years.

    To be fair I am in PvE land more, but a lot of that is out of necessity for progression. I have a lot characters who need a lot of things and most of those things require some amount of PvE. But when it's time to take a break from work and just have fun it's a pretty even split. I might run some dungeons or run around cyrodiil, or sneak around IC or lay back and do some quests, or if I'm short on time I'll just run a couple BGs or maybe pick a fight with a world boss who gives me trouble.

    I'm almost entirely a PvE player, but I will go into Cyrodiil or IC. Although when I'm there I'm still focusing on PvE goals like getting skyshards, completing delves or doing quests for events and will only fight other players if it's unavoidable. If they don't attack me, or they're easy to ignore even when they are attacking then I won't fight back, it's only if they're actually causing a problem that I'll attack them. Especially if they're obviously camping somewhere hoping to pick off players who won't or can't fight them. Interestingly I don't even have to win all the time, sometimes literally just having someone hit them back is enough to scare them off.

    I've played PvP in the past, running with a guild group capturing keeps and things and it doesn't interest me. You're effectively just going round and round the same map capturing the same objectives over and over until it's time to stop. At least questing has some variety in the goals, and the stories to make it interesting.

    Every time you go in a same dungeon enemies will do same things.
    That is pretty repetitive in my book.
    Also, if you think PvE is less toxic that PvP you are very fortunate not to meet the "right" people. Yet.

    I've been in Cyrodiil maybe 6 or 7 times in... how many years is it now? I think it's sufficient to say: I just don't really care for it.

    There are actually more developed polls from the past which provide some reasonable insight into this topic.

    For instance I seem to recall that overwhelmingly the forum community favour PVE. But a significant percentage also enjoy PVP.

    See, I've always found PvP to be much more repetitive - kill, die, respawn, kill, die, respawn (well, or more accurately, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn. :D Especially in BGs or zerg combat.) Grinding through a ton of BGs in vanilla WoW (interspersed with a few trips to the Southshore/Tarren Mill Endless Zerg) to get up to rank 8 or 9 was just tedious as hell.

    There's no story, there's no scenery, there's no interest - just endless kill-and-die against an endless respawning horde of meta builds. (and at least PvE is somewhat balanced - many less instances of blink-and-you're-dead What The Hell Just Killed Me?)



    ...that said, I don't re-run dungeons dozens of times, either. I'd much rather level new alts in new builds/playstyles, through quests/exploration/delves/events/etc.

    I think ESO has such an amazing solo experience and that's why I play PVE a vast majority of the time. But even though I'm not really good, I still like to play the PVP every now and then :p

    I do PvP some but usually get frustrated with the poor performance (especially in Cyrodiil). I would like to PvP more, it is what attracted me to the game in the first place.

    This poll is pretty skewed. Its far more likely to have PvP players on here screaming for nerfs to whatever killed them most recently than PvE players...most of the player base doesn't use the forums

    Have you, or the other who find PvE toxic, considered the PvE'rs have meet those "right people" in PvP?

    If it weren't for the sky shards and completion itch, PvP would be once every 5 lunar months.

    95% PVE and when I want to completely turn my mind off I'll go into cyrodiil. Was never a fan of pvp but I do enjoy cyrodiil when it works. BG's I absolutely despise

    I don’t understand how anyone enjoys doing PVE outside of quest and grinding needed gear. Spending all that time running the same old trial or dungeon (when you don’t need gear from it) just to get a title sounds crazy to me. But, too each their own.

    I am probably 70/30 (PVE/PVP) over the last few years or so. New trial was a let down, so havent been playing much other than the recent Midyear event, so that balance has swung the other way. Not sure I will login again until the next double AP event. Mostly because with all the set changes, I am inclined to let the dust settle rather than make a huge dent in my craft bag trying to find the meta.

    I tend to get impulsive with new builds and use a lot of gold mats. I am the idiot who tests on live rather than the PTS, and I don't wear purple gear. haha
