What do PVE players do when they get the best gear?

Do y’all just like stand around town and hope people inspect your gear?

Maybe start story telling inside stormwind about those big scary predictable NPCs you beat because you were in an organized raid and had 8 hours to kill?

All jokes aside, I have to ask because I am not and never will be a PVE player.
What’s the point of you spending all that time to get the best gear if you just like stand around town in it? Is it about the fulfillment of knowing you have higher item level gear than other players?
Does that make you feel powerful?

Personally I find PVE extremely unrewarding and easy.
I mean think about it:
PVE: fighting a predictable NPC that cast the same abilities at the same time over and over again until you get it right
PVP: absolute wild card you have no idea what’s going to happen and have to quick react every single encounter

To each their own I guess, it just shocks me people actually get pleasure from PVE and brag about it.

I just found out there’s a whole “esport” wow pve league and lost my mind laughing.

So I know a few people who raid at the high end and had asked them that back with Denathrius. One of them would switch to getting the high end pvp, the other three would just stop playing until the next patch.

I agree that it’s the scripted part of pve that I’m like :unamused: it’s not fun after long. Don’t tell them that. You might get a flock of angry pve folks in here.

On the flip, pvp is kinda scripted the higher up you go bc you know the plays and the dance of it all the longer you do it. Now random pvp bgs/skirms is a wild card for sure.

The people getting the best gear don’t care about gear. So they keep playing.

Gear is just a tool, it’s not the point of playing.

What’s the point of this thread? So you can feel special around PvEers?

We have our fun doing the raids and M+ until we don’t.

People on the low end play for gear. People on the high end don’t really care about gear.

Play alts, push m+, sell achievements or mounts. Is not like gear was the end goal to begin with.

I really dislike the “PvE vs PvP” mentality when at the end of the day, we’re all playing the same, scuffed, 18 year old game.

I’m glad I could help.

I hope you know I don’t care if ppl play pve or pvp. Do what is fun to you. I think light hearted smack talk is fun.
