I usually PvE anymore at this time in my life, but i still think back on those times i played on PvP servers and put a smile on my face on how i destroyed many peoples dreams thinking they were safe lol. But PvE for me now, just don't think i have the same drive in me as i used to when it comes to playing on a pvp server.
PvE only, PVP maybe in arena zones in PvE servers, and those zones should not contain anything that's absolutely necessary for progression.
Consensual duels, sure. But "six gank one" situations all the time, even when I'm not interested in it and just want to kill some mobs and relax? No thanks.
PvE for me. While I do enjoy a good RP every now and then, too many people involved in it tends to muddy the water so to speak. Too many differnet rules for too many different people, it gets hard to keep track of all that. I have done a tiny bit of PvP...but I'm not very good at it, so I wouldn't subject myself or others to my terrible skills lol.
I've always played PvE. I've never found enough enjoyment in PvP when trying it in the past, but I've always been in the situation of starting solo on a new server with no friends. I believe I will enjoy it much more if I can start on a PvP server where I already have some friends.
