PvP vs. PvE

I have been 99% PvE for 6 months, never did like GvG, just to dang chaotic, but I tried
out the new Assassin character over the weekend for a change and a great time, kind
of confusing at first, being in mission towns, and not being able to figure out what needs to be done to complete it ??
I did learn a few things, like a four-man trapper team (r/a) is a blast, it was amazing
to have 12 traps setup and watch one of the six computer teams come running into them, I could not beat the VIM or IWAY team with the henchies, but with the trapper team, the entire IWAY team fell dead and we did not even have to fight, it was so
funny, that was worth playing right there IMO.
thx Anet

90% PvP GvG, Tombs, TA, and if I am really bored or masochistic, RA =/
10% PvE (Go to new area, beat new area in 40 minutes because AI is still retarded, do 3 runs with guildies, back to PvP). If ever want a truly fun and interesting PvE experience, I'll just load up Neverwinter Nights or Fallout 2.

70% PvP, 30% PvE. I've almost unlocked all skills, so after that probably more PvP. PvE gets boring after a while, but when Chap2 comes out I'll probably do all PvE till I finish the story at least once.
I don't understand why so many people on this forum don't play PvP at all. This game was designed primarily around PvP and if you don't play it, you're missing out on at least half the game.
And there's a huge difference between a FPS and a game like GW. Comparing the two is silly.

I try to spend at least 5 minutes in CA every month just to remind myself why I don't PvP more often - boooooring (IMO)
Although I am going to force myself to PvP so that I can get a silly emote. Talk about grinding - Getting an emote will be grinding hell!
Anyway as it stands right now, EVERYTHING that you accomplish in PvE can always be used in PvP.
NOTHING that you accomplish in PvP can be used in PvE (aside from those emotes )
So for me, PvP seems to be a silly waste of time Do you other PvE players feel the same way? Work without tangable reward?

Pretty much 100% PvP.
Never finished the story. Never been to Sorrow's Furnace on live, although I did help test it in Alpha. Own exactly zero green items, zero dragon swords, zero pieces of 15k armor. I have yet to dye a single piece of anything.
I did start a PvE char a month or so ago to hopefully level to use in the regional tournaments, but he's sitting at level 10 unplayed except during events in LA.

When I first started, I avoided PvP quite a bit, dabbling in the ascalon arena, then the yaks bend arena, but that was it. I spent my time exploring, unlocking skills, getting 15k armor, and finishing the storyline.
Now, it is closer to 75% PvP, 25% not (chatting with people, farming, doing a random quest, just sitting there, it varies). Now that I am in a guild that does a fair amount of HA, I can actualy enjoy it, rather than spending my time shouting for an iway group

Probably around 90% PvE and 10% PvP, I only really PvP when the guild needs me for GvG or TA.
Eugaet
99.5% PvE
0.5% PvP
The 0.5% is from Snowball Arena and the Factions PvP Preview.

I estimate around 99.923% PvE/nothing and 0.077% PvP. Basically the only PvP I've ever done has been 3 rounds of the snowball fight (which was funny) and I guess the 4 times I've gone through the Ascalon Academy mission, hah. The real life friends I played with when I started quit early on and the guild I joined had absolutely no interest in PvP, which only reinforced my own disinterest. I don't really feel the need to PvP and it's hard to explain why, since I do find PvE boring sometimes. I guess I just feel like PvP is sort of... at a different level of play that feels way too serious. Plus I don't know anyone anymore and it's unlikely I'll be making new friends or joining a guild again. I am looking forward to Factions, at least.

If you like to grind and want to get a cool PvP rank, WoW is in your best interest. How many times can you say Three-Thousand-BG's 10 times fast?
I pretty much purely PvP in GW. PvE is a means to an end, although I enjoy hitting it heavily for some choice occasions.

90% PvP, 10% PvE.
Unless we are talking about entire time spent, in which case I would probably be at about 50%/50%.

Sure, PVP doesn't put items in your character's inventory, but it's fun enough to be its own reward. Which is the only criterion I ever use for deciding whether or not to play something. (PVE isn't fun enough, for me, but if other people feel that way about it, more power to them.) Anyway, I'm 100% PVP nowadays. I pushed a few characters part of the way through the PVE game before I got sick of it, and I imagine I'll do the same with a ritualist/assassin when chapter 2 comes out, but PVP is why I bought this game and why I haven't uninstalled it.
Reks
Before Guild Wars: Factions Free-For-All PvP Weekend:
95% PvE
5% PvP
Was mainly PvE with very minimal PvP experience. I didn't really like PvP anyways.
After Guild Wars: Factions Free-For-All PvP Weekend:
66.6% PvE
33.3% PvP
Had to delete a PvE char to make a PvP slot(didn't want to make a new account). It was worth it. More so after finding out how to survive as a Boon Prot Monk.
