I do both. You can Google and look up any PvE fight. And then the addons even further tell you what to do for your PvE. *never get a PvP queue in retail at any level not max level anymore in retail WoW. Blizz ruined PvP for all the non max levels cuz they allowed max level players to go in and do PvP with the low level players. Like for Korracks Revenge ruined 2 years in a row cuz max level toons in full epics were going gin and smashing people who were trying to level in their alts there.
I do PvE and PvP. Mostly PvP in the Classics. This toon I quit playing. I have 2 level 60 paladins in Classic and a 60 druid and a 60 mage. Many do PvP. But doing PvP only is not good as you miss out on lots of neat stuff. So you should do both. And in original Wrath, my sham EU realms it had a trink on it. And it was a PvE trinket that you could only get from doing ICC and the only way I was able to do that was to get into the raid and pull my wait and they refused to allow me to keep running it in full PvP gear even though I did okay in it as ele resto. So… that was when I began to do more PvE as well. And on US realms, I have done mostly PvP on most of my toons here but do PvE to the side when I am able to.
I like PvP the most. There is a reason why PvP realms are almost always the most crowded in the game, why the only active realm in SoD is a PvP one, why 100% of all Classic vids being watched right now are the PvP vids.
PvE there is a max on how high you can do the raids. In PvP there is no max. You beat someone and then that person you beat then can beat you with no cap as to what is the top. Plus the dev team used to always name the PvP gear sets after the WoW seasons and never the PvE gear. And seasons were originally made for being a PvP only thing.
WoW needs to focus more on PvP, fact. Had 10x as many subs when it did. I just PvP in Classic now. PvP queues in retail if not max level never ever pop and at max level still take so long that I could do 5-10 matches in Cata for the wait period it takes me to do a single one in retail WoW.
So many PvPers buy tokens… maybe even more than PvErs do cuz you don’t get lots of gold by spamming PvP content so you need tokens if you stumble across a cool pet in the AH listed for 50k to 100K+ gold.
