PVP vs PVE? You can be both you know

[chemanel]

Why are people making a distinction between PVE players and PVP players like it was two totally different physical persons?

For example, myself, enjoy both activities, and during the day, maybe I will enjoy more PVE stuff, and at night, more PVP. Some times, I enjoy cutting wood while watching Netflix, sometimes, I enjoy joining a group and capturing/defending a Fort.

You don’t need to do PVP all the time or PVE all the time… It’s not one or the other. You can be both.

You want to incentivize PVP? That’s perfectly fine as I enjoy it too… but then… incentivize PVP! More activities, more rewards that are actually pvp oriented, etc… Don’t incentivize a PVE activity for PVP… I don’t get the logic there. You are just annoying (as the many post in the forums prove) those who want to do more PVE… while it gives PVP players literally nothing more to do… except ganking people that are farming in PVE gear.

How is “mats which I use to craft the weapons, armors and potions i need to pvp” NOT a PVP-oriented reward?

Just because you use them to craft tuning orbs and decorations for your house (or whatever it is you people do), doesn’t make them “pve mats”

Again, you are proving my point. It’s not either PVE or PVP … It’s both !

Thank you for proving my point.

There are a huge amount of players that simply will not PVP

But I agree with you, PVP is such a large spectrum of players. Part of the reason why PVP servers are not the answer.

Just another phony dichotomy. Like “heart and mind” or “science and religion”

Like you can’t be one if you’re the other. I think modern tech has made everyone think binary, when people have always been analog and always will be.

I PvE, PvP, and craft. I won’t be flagging for the bonus, because I don’t need the hassle when I’m gathering. More power to the guys that do flag.

Hard to do pvp when I have my pve gears in the inventory. I do chest runs, corruption run, and gathering all the time. I don’t want to keep going back to town to place them in storage just to go out to to open world to pvp. There is a reason why our bags can carry a lot of weight. If dying in pvp don’t affect my duration I’d definitely have pvp on more often.
