Newsletter Discussion: PvP or PvE?

This week's Newsletter Discussion Topic is the eternal debate: PvP or PvE, where do you stand?

Some love to "gank newbs" and hate "carebares". Others just want to go play a game in peace without people's avatars crotch chopping above their corpses. Now games like Warhammer Online are going to try and bring these audiences together. Can they do it?

Tell us where you stand on this issue in the comment thread.

Meh. Don't care for one over the other. As long as there's RP, neither one of them really matter.

Meh.

Meh.

Hum!
I don't like to, nor will I gank lowbies, I don't care if I do loose (DAoC) 1 RP.. Ganking a grey just is not a fight.nor is 1 pt. going to make me or break me. Now, there has been times where I have due to them calling others out like in (DAoC) Darknessfalls then heck yea I would.. We would be stealthed and they would tell the stealthers on there side right where we were or that we went by them..

A good fight is the best when we are of the same lev. No, Im not a CareBear either but I just judge the situation when it arises.

OH! YEA, this one really "TICKS ME OFF" when one is in a PvE fight and one is jumped while fighting a mob.. I think that is Chicken S--t" on the one who is doing the jumping.. This one really gets me.. I think peeps who do that should have a stiff penalty. Yea, I know most will not agree but who cares I don't.

I used to avoid pvp, but I eventually found myself enjoying it, to some degree. I like a good clean fight. I'm not satisfied with wins that were too easy and losses due to the other side being overpowered don't sit well with me. Of course, PvE has its problematic people, too. Nowadays, it's mostly the people that just don't have a clue what they're doing and ruin things for everyone. Of course, where the opportunity presents itself, there are those that will screw you over and steal a kill or loot. In short, I like playing on my own, but I enjoy playing with a decent team :)

I think this combination of PvE and PvP can work, as long as people can still enjoy PvE in peace. Who knows? Some PvE folks may find they like PvP this way.
