Is there a point to pve after getting the atribute points?
Kobalt
Besides if you like pve that is? I just finished the hero's challenge quest for the last 15 attribute points and was wondering if there was a point to continuing on with the missions.

Yes.
Because the game isn't over.

Huh? Have you done all of the Southern Shiverpeak missions? Ring of Fire? Underworld? Fissure of Woe? Tombs? Titan Quests?
Diablo???
Sure there is, the point is to have fun.

Elite skills.
its not like you will use that character in pvp anyways...youll make a pvp character and have the best of everything...so just delete it if you dont think anything better can come of finishing the game.

A free skill point for each completed mission is as good a reason as any to me.

PvE isn't even over after you complete all the QUESTS.. go and play the remaining quests, maybe after you completed them all, you can come back and ask if PvE is over or not =)

Well you can...but I hope you love pve...But you just said you hate it.
You would have to grind for the max items/runes etc...its easier to make the pvp character. (unless you want the advantages or multiple armor etc...)
I would rather not grind to get stuff...but thats just me.
Have at it. I suggest spending your skill points...capping skills...and either leaving the character for factions, leave it, or delete it.

The same reason you would play a single player game
Elite skills/rare items

if you hate it you are nuts for doing it.pass pve and go straight to your beloved pvp.
earn faction doing your beloved pvp to earn all of your unlocks.
when you have everything unlocked you can pvp your beloved pvping brains out without touching that icchy pve you hate so much.
go straight to the arena of your choice and leave the pve behind for all of out sakes

Yeah, just have fun...

i have over 1000 hours and have not had a superior vigor/superior absorption/ or +30 perfect mod drop/salvage.now maybe your luck will be better but does that seem faster than a targeted faction unlock?
SAQ
You will unlock skills faster with factions if you are a good PvP player in Random/Team arenas.
But watchout for Griefers and quitters.. they ruin the arenas.

It is a lot better to get skills and elites...10-20 hours will get you a ton of skill points, a ton of skills, and prolly an elite or 2. Once you get those...its a lot easier to start pvp.
edit: plus you will get a bunch of the min mods...making the max mods easier to get with faction...and no RA is not the best way to get faction. If you have a guild try GVG or pick a build and unlock the skills and play HA.
Some quests give skill reward...Ignore most of the people in this thread.....

Btw, to OP, my post about unlocking factions only applies if you have a PvP character, else it's pointless to unlock the factions skills (since it's only available for PvP chars).
It was just a mis-understanding, but I do hope people can clarify their intentions so other people won't speculate or assume things.

If you hate PvE that bad, there is no point in trying to rationalize why you should like it.
Rayne Nightfyre
Yeah there's a point to PvE even after completing the storyline, to save up for sexy armor! 
Outside of Fissure/Underworld, the PvE bores me to death also. But crafting expensive armor is what is the most fun for me in this game.

After getting to the Ring of Fire literally 2 weeks after this game was released I got bored of PvE and all this time I've just been doing PvP. Heck I have almost 600,000 total Balthazar Factions just from PvPing all the time and have everything unlocked.
PvE just isn't competitive enough for me. You run around with a 90% chance of completing the mission and once it's over there's no more incentive to replay it again. PvP is a bit like Counter-Strike in that you play the same maps over and over but it's the variety of players in those maps that makes it interesting.

EF2NYD
After finishing the storyline, you really have to make your own PvE goals. Do you want money? Items or armor? Or the challenge of high level areas? Grinding skill points and getting the money necessary to buy the skills you want is time consuming, but if you're intent on making your PvE character PvP ready, it is going to take time (and money, which you need time to get).
Blaine Derrick
If you intend to PvP seriously, I would recommend keeping your PvE character and trying to get him PvP ready (multiple armor sets/runes, multiple max weapons, all skills). A fully equiped PvE character, while very expensive and time consuming to make, is much more flexible than a PvP character due to all the special equipment and armor/rune/weapon switching options availiable to him.
sledgeunderhill
Agreed with EF2NYD, the true endgame PvE is all about setting your goals and performing them with different strategies. This may mean playing a non-traditional role (tanking mesmer, smite monk, or even a Spiteful Spirit casting warrior) just to try out new things.
It also helps if you have like-minded people to develop and accomplish these goals to work together.
In my opinion, the real PvE endgame is developing that community, rather than wailing against each other in mindless brawls.
Of course, this topic has been beaten to death so many times over, it's no longer funny. Suffice to say, people have their own opinions and there will always be someone to give you praises or insults because of your choices.

Was there really a point to this thread...rather than trying to get a rise out of the pve community that is?
