PvE: Solo Artist, Quester, Chest Runner, Groupie or Explorer. Where do you Fit in?
Jetdoc
I'm a pure solo artist - I attempt to do everything possible solo without henchmen. I normally have to fail around 10 times in a row before I give up and join a party.
I don't think I've ever used a henchman in the game, and probably won't use heroes either for the same reason.

People may question my sanity, but at the moment, pending Nightfall, I'm doing my favourite mission over and over again in PUGs.
That mission is THK and to date I must have done it inc. bonus over 40 times

explorer, solo-er, pugger, desert runner, quest helper (done all of them many many times), epecially love to find the pug with lots of folks who haven't been able to get past thk/abaddons/etc and get them through. The last is not always successful as sometimes a pug just cannot/will not be helped. I like one on one help, getting folks where they need to be, through trying times... I hand out gear occaisionally, and advice on how to get your own more often. I try to ensure my guildies never need for anything, and most of my farming is devoted to this end.

I do all of them in pve. I always do different things, as doing the same thing over and over again bores me.
Currently working on titles for my monk though

Appart from that I'm also kind of a solo artist. I have 1 char of each profession and can play almost any solo build and make up new ones for a specific need. I like to farm myself the items i use cause i just feel better knowing i farmed them alone. I am not a market player. I really don't like to waste my time with this even though I like economics and understand quite well the market. I just don't like to waste my time buying and selling. When i'm bored or lacking an objective i just go play HA or RA |
I try to play this game like I play the Elder Scroll series, with the an add on to get some help in slaying endlevel monsters and do some trading. Thats about the only reason to consult the community now and than .
I mostly loose interest in games when my chr. is maxed out. In skills, armor, weapons. And I definatively find that a maxed out chr. should be able to **crush** all monsters lol!
Wishes? Build PvE maps the way solo builds can complete them without having to aggro

Hey what's up Guildy!!!
Was browsin the forums at work and saw your post, so I though I'd throw in my input. Only been playin the game for a few months, but I'm really likin it and like to do a little bit of everything PVE wise. I haven't gotten into the PVP yet, but I might go there in the future. I'm really enjoying playing with my necro right now and really like how versatile he is.
I guess to stay on topic, I'm mostly a quester/missioner, and solo farmer. with a little bit of treasure hunter (mostly what i like to farm for is good stuff for my toons), skill hunter (cause i got to have dem 1337 skillz!! 8P), and groupie (cause i find that playin with henchies is boring)
EDIT: ARG!! punctuation....

- Solo Artist (Well, I do solo a lot.. but not for boss farming or anything. Never have.)
- Chest Runner (See Treasure Hunter)

- Outpost Rat (Used to hang at Grotto before I switched to EU servers because they have favor.)

Lol This is great!!! I have to say I dot it all master of none but experienced in all. If I had to pick 1 thn]ing it would be the Krytan Laugher. Its just so easy to laugh at all the little kids in the game who get so mad at other people and spam cruel things to them. Man how in the world could you get so mad over a fun and exciting game. Props to arena net for Bringing in the Best mmorpg ever.. Looking forward to Nightfall!!

You know i was thinking a little about your side topic. Which is not my strong trait by anyways. You know what would be a great idea, If arenanet somehow introduced Town Constuction. Guillds could put there money into the creation of new towns. Instead of just buying a guild hall, get rid of the halls and allow people to build an empire that could be traveled to by any1 Buying a peice of land somewhere on the map. You all know how much territory is ununsed out there but maybe that might be to congestive? I dont know, am I crazy or does this seem like somthing interesteing?? In my head I can see it being somthing awsome.

Well, I guess I'm mostly a quester/hencher. 90% of the GW community pisses me off so whenever I need to do a quest or mission, I always try to do it with henchmen first, and try to avoid human contact as much as possible unless they're someone I know and doesn't piss me off.(too badly) But after I've gone through all the missions/quests with all my PvE characters, I do a little of everything, I solo farm, I work on titles, I get new skills, try new builds, etc.
I guess, if anything, I don't fall into the faction farmer, treasure hunter, and merchant catagories, just not something I like to do. Farming 1 Kurzick quest to get 400 faction 100 times a day? No Thanks. Running along the same path in the same explorable area opening chest and usually getting crap? No Thanks. Standing in town for hours on end spamming "WTB" and "WTS"? No Thanks. I think you get the picture.

I would say I'm an explorer. I have done explored most of Tyria before I knew titles would exist. It's rewarding for me to see a nice view, learn some more about the in-game story, plus remove a bit more of that nasty fog on the world map ^^
I do also enjoy making quests, for I have done every non-repeatable quest that I have found so far. More story (even though it's sidestory and mostly useless) and a reason to do another adventure.
Finnaly, I also enjoy playing with friends. That's when I play PvP. Laugh, have fun, and earn a few wins on HA/GvG.
I do these because I like them. What I would like to see in-game? Improvements that make these tasks more fun and more diverse. So far questing and exploring have a limits. I'm not a very dedicated farmer, because I do whenever I feel like, not because I HAVE to. This game is tuned so that you never do something because you really HAVE to without enjoying it in someway at the same time you do it, being the reason the term GRIND does not exist yet, and with everything announced for Nightfall so far, continues to not exist. So basically more fun and more content. I am a happy player that loves changes, no matter if I like them or not, I enjoy ANET's game.

Good to see such a wide response.
If you read through these, alot of people have different things that they like to do. The more diverse a game is, the more people will play. I happen to love the game for the skills that can be matched up and used to counter other skills. There is no ULITIMATE build, because there will always be another build that can counter it's effects.

Hmm... I am mostly an rpg'er -- doing quests and missions, however i do enjoy the occassional...
-- grouping
-- solo
-- running (mostly using my dual accounts to run my own char around)
-- explorer
-- chase after title
I almost never bother with the market and don't care for the chests.

Me? I do pretty much whatever. I've tried it all, except HoH, and I plan on trying that one day. But I guess what I do most of all is henching/questing. Second to that would be farming, but never repetitive farming. I keep trying different builds, different locations, different characters, and going after different loot (runes, mats, greens, etc.). I have to keep switching things up or I get bored easily.
I'm a Gen X ADD reject, what can I say?
