I was just wondering what percentages that you spend on the different aspects of the game? I spend about 20-25% of my time doing PvP in one of its many aspects. But, I'm primarily a PvE player, with that consuming 75-80% of my online time.
So how do you spend your time in Guild Wars?
Please no flames about how one group or the other sucks. Both sides of the game have fulfilling aspects to certain types of people.

20% PvE, 80% PvP
Medion
80% PvE-20% PvP, but I am currently doing a little more PvP so it will go a bit more to PvP in the future.
Makkert
100% pve when I started.
75% pve 25% pvp when I completed game first time (didn't bother with starter arena's)
85% pvp 15% pve now

99.9 pve. I enjoy pvp in this game (mainly coz its not like most games where its yaaaar there's a lonely lvl 5, kill it lads!) but i tend not to bother much. I dont want the competitiveness of Tombs, i don't trust pugs enough to go to CA unless I have my friends online, and I just can't be bothered with random arenas 
So I tend to stick to GvG on the few rare times that we get a match going. I prefer exploring the land though or collecting skills for my multiple chars.

If you asked me a week ago I would say I used 90% of my time on PvE. But now I just made a Boon Prot PvP monk, so now I am using about 95% of the time on PvP.
Gli
90% PvE - 10% PvP (Competition arenas exclusively)
I can't be bothered with the hours upon hours of metagaming that's part of the other PvP types. 'Enter mission' and instant action!

During the weekend preview event I played Random Arena all weekend long. When I get my Rits back I'll prolly PvP again. With my Rits I will prolly be more along the lines of...

33.4691% PvP

I'm never idle, if I know I'm not going to play then I log out, free up some bandwidth and crank my TS server up to full bandwidth.

Put another way, I have a total of 1.3 million EXP, but only 67 000 faction.
Gildor Took
at the start 99% pve 1 arenas
finished the game with all 3 characters so i started pvp
20% pve 80% pvp
then i got to 132 fame but then the iway craze had taken hold. Groups that weren't iway demanded rank 3+ so my fame stood idle for the last couple of weeks.
Now
80% pve 20% pvp mainly arenas
when GW:Factions comes out ill probably pvp a lot more

Gorla
95% pve 5% pvp
I play pvp (or gvg) occasionally when someone is missing or need to test something.

Caged Fury
100% PvE - too busy enjoying and working my way through the storyline to even think about PvP.
asdar
I'm 99% pvp.
What do you all do in PvE?
I'm not bashing or anything, I was PvE at first. I'm just curious what there is left to do, or if maybe I'm missing something.

Lexar
Used to be 75% PvE and 25% PvP, but a couple of months back I just didn't like the general attitude of tombs anymore, no instant action, no actual friendly PUG people as compared to the new tombs where I've added 5 new friends to my friends list in a couple of runs alone. So now it's closer to 95% PvE and 5% for the odd competition arenas or filling up some team when people I know really need someone.
Star Asia
99.9% Pve
Raxxman
Recently the game just laggs up to the point of unplayability in PvP so PvE for now. It's just silly when you try to hit a warrior combo only to have 5 second delays between attacks.
leet paladin
im gonna say 95.00% Pve and 05.00 PvP do to lack of groups that arnt iway r+3 ect.
ange1
50% pve
49% idle

Andy_M
99.9999999999% PvE. I have about 150 faction.
fallot
Used to be 60/40 PvE/PvP but I'm PvPing more often now (trying to get a foothold on tombs) so its 20/80. Just 178 more fame till the annoying deer (which I'm going to tastelessly spam in ToA of course).
Siliconwafer
When I started, 100% PvE. Now, it would be a 95% PvP, 5% PvE, and then really only with friends.
Cronos Khan
"omg lik PvE is soo better!!!1"
Nah not really. I try to balance both side out pretty evenly, but I always go for PvE as my main choice. I do Ascend here and there as a ranger.

I've never PvP'd and don't plan on doing so.

rugal nuker
I think i am going nearer to the pvp side,have got 4 lvl 20s,all compeleted and often have nothing to do.i really don't like farming,kinda lazy but when i farm 2-3 runs,i will start yawning off. I am going to delete one of my charaters for pvp till the expansion release,then,i will turn back to pve with new classes
crimsonfilms
95 PvP.
Once you finished the game twice seen some perfect gold items and some green items - there is not much left in PvE. There is FoW armor, but that is just mindless grind fest. No thanks.
All the missions are very easy anyways.
GvG is just so much cooler than anyting in Guild Wars.

Fantus
Around 60% PvE and 40% PvP now. Gradually switching more to PvP for the moment.
Orbberius
About 90% PvP and 10% PvE - and that's only when helping guildmates out or if people in the guild insist on going into SF or the old tombs.
Jetdoc
80% PvE, 20% PvP.
I've made it obvious that I have a personal quest to solo every part of the game without henchmen, which takes up most of my time. I detest farming, unless it's an extremely difficult area that I find challenging (e.g. IDS, UW/FoW).
PvP is a nice change of pace when I get in a rut. I expect I'll eventually join up with a larger guild and do some serious GvG.

fiery
how does it work out... if i bring my PVE charcter into PVP? and only make a PVP charcter for PVP only for a GVG or TOMBS? if so im guessing 100% technically not 50-50 cause i use both PVE and PVP at the same time.
NightOwl
I'll pve when someone in the guild needs it, otherwise just pvp.
Yichi
Meh... i do whichever sounds appealing at the time. I have enough fame and not really concerned with OMG!!! i have to get better emotez and be teh 1337!!! I earned what i have and have fun doing it. Wether it be exploring new areas, exploring old areas, fissure/UW runs, new and old tombs, arenas... I just make sure that i have some good music playing and grab some of my guildies and we go tear it up
art_
60% pvp
20% idle/thinking about what colours would look cool on armor
20% helping guildies thru pve - which is ridiculously easy if you have played a pvp monk.
