Are PVE servers bad?

anyone that pretends to be something in the end is just and a hole.

I afk a lot so I donā€™t like to be ganked while Iā€™m taking a poo. Yeah Iā€™m a carebear but once battlegrounds are out Iā€™ll play pvp. Until then Iā€™ll afk and take a poo In peace

You should feel bad for making thread like this

I used to PVP a bunch with my old raiding guild. This one guy in the guild, was a latino who always threatened people outside the game (over vent etc.) with finding them and stabbing them with his knifeā€¦

This guy, would always hot-mic his vent, and hearing the things he would say over ventā€¦ Iā€™m convinced heā€™s a sociopath just waiting to do the wrong thing in life and end up in prison for life.

That completely turned me off from PVP, and I havenā€™t done any since MoP.

Keep in mind, this was on a PVE server (up until the guild entirely moved to a PVP server, and I would still interact with or keep in touch with them, but I never went along with the transfer).

I couldnā€™t describe the things he would say or how he would sound accurately. Imagine lots of breathing, MAJOR anger and rage, tons of yelling (while he would get angry and flip out if ANYBODY ELSE yelled at all >_>), and always sounded like he was frothing at the mouth while chasing after somebody, and then sounded like he was drinking the blood of someone he had just cutā€¦

Thatā€™s the best I can describe it. As for WPVP, yeah no thanks, Iā€™ll take co-op Skyrim ANY DAY over that kind of atmosphere.

I was half-serious. Some are bitter, most of it is just good clean fun. Butā€¦ Pvp servers are all about the revenge. LOL

Or, ya know, different players have different playstyle preferences.

You wouldnā€™t know it from the retail client these days, would ya?

People take a sense of pride in making a game harder. I play PvE because I donā€™t enjoy getting ganked. Equal level world PvP is fun, but not worth having to deal with a bunch of extra corpse runs or potentially getting corpse camped/raid grouped while youā€™re trying to play the game.

As someone who loves to duel, go into BGs and dabble in arenas I never understood Wpvp. Itā€™s almost always like 3v1 or 1v1 but one guy is 10 levels+ higher or 1v1 but one guy is also tanking mobs.

I love to PvP when it means itā€™s actually like an honorable fight and a level playing field but WPvP is just silly to me.

This.

This right here.

You remove the entire foundation of the game and take World of Warcraft and turn it into World of Flowercraft.

smh

I have always and will always play on PVP servers but I almost never gank, start nonsense, kill lowbies, be a schmuck.

So why do I play on PVP servers? I play on PVP servers because one of the core concepts of this game is that thereā€™s a war weā€™re in the middle of and to completely remove that from the experience doesnā€™t make sense to me.

I play on a pvp server not out of desire to actually engage in pvp but for that extra thrill and challenge . I wonā€™t go out of my way to hunt other players but I like leveling and having that threat always out there. Makes it more fun. I guess you could call me a ā€œdefensive pvperā€ or something.

I just want an extra threat while Iā€™m doing quests

PvE is a chill server.

Nothing wrong with that.

Well thatā€™s nice that you donā€™t kill lowbies but so far after hitting level 30 I havenā€™t been able to quest at all because Horde just kill me on sight. If someone can only play for an hour or two per day why would they wanna spend 90% of that time running back to corpse? WPvP is NOT half of the game. Thatā€™s the most ridiculous statement Iā€™ve ever heard.

Yeah and sheā€™s an amazing cook, what of it?

Co-op Skyrim would be awesome. Get on it Bethesda.

I played on a PVP server the first time around, never liked getting Ganked! So, now I play the way I want to, if you donā€™t want to play PVE thatā€™s fine by me. You have a choice in what style you play the game. I am more interested in playing the game with the content controlled by my own progression. Pvp is not something I enjoy. Loving my Pve server, thank you!

Some people donā€™t enjoy PvP, thatā€™s fine. Iā€™ve never seen the appeal in PvP servers, theyā€™re just not for me. I play on PvE servers because thatā€™s what I enjoy, and most of the friends Iā€™ve made playing the game also prefer PvE servers. Not everyone needs to be bloodthirsty 100% of the time.

PvE isnā€™t immune to a$%hattery. Thereā€™s plenty of stupid there too, itā€™s just a different kind of stupid. Pick your poison. Personally, the world feels more alive on a PvP server. My gameplay experience has some texture, and I prefer having those ups and downs.

I started on Whitemane PVP server for Classic and everything was fine until lvl 30 going into STV Or Arathi was a Nightmare. High level characters camping quest givers or fearing any that got close to the Quest turn in. a Couple hours of that and I completely restarted on a PVE Server. I need to feel like iā€™m progressing without world PVP getting in the way

Except PvP is only a small section of the game, try again because itā€™s nowhere near at all half the game and itā€™s not a foundation or it wonā€™t be optional now would it?

Itā€™s just banter. Maybe some people are actually serious but I know Iā€™m not. Same thing with smack talking the alliance, I donā€™t actually hate them itā€™s just fun teasing the other faction. That being said if PvE players could get over their fear of being ganked I think they would have much more fun on a PvP server.

I play purely defensively. I have never killed a lowbie and only attack when there is a skirmish or someone tries to gank me. Nothing is more satisfying than destroying an opponent who has the upper hand and thinks you will be a free kill.
