People flame opinions all the time, and posting mine would just be flamebait.

I am almost pure PvE. I love to explore and there is plenty of that to do in GW. I have one character that has Grandmaster Cart for both continents and am currently working on my second. The addition of titles was brilliant in my opinion and will keep me playing for a long time. I love this game!

People flame this topic all the time for odd reasons; as if flaming will suddenly alter ones' opinion or state of mind on their prefered play style. Lets hope the flameboys stay away as I am always interested in differing points of view and love to hear the whys.

I'm 100% PvE in GW. I've tried the PvP in GW but really didn't care for the way it played; it was too rushed and had other issues I didn't care for.

Of course, one of the things that makes GW good IMO is that it can cater to different playstyles so well. I mean, look at how rabid players become when the style they enjoy gets put down. hehe

Although I am mostly a PvE player, I do enjoy some PvP and GvG every once in a while. I am currently looking into how to get my guild more involved in PvP, while keeping it's focus on PvE

I play both. I played exclusively PvE until about late June last year. Then, I started PvPing. I got all of my rank 3 fame during the PvPX weekend, which was loads of fun. (And I still have a soft spot in my heart for smiting.

) After a while, I started making my PvE monk PvP-ready, which meant capping elites I had unlocked through faction already. (YAY!!! For having to buy a skill more than once.)

I'm all about the PvE.
I don't like all the emotion that goes into PvP and no matter how it ends up, there's always anger, at least a little and maybe not directed at the players, but it's still there.

GW: P and GW: F provice enourmous areas to explore, a pretty decent story and a system that makes forming a team with only one or two friends easy (henchies). It is a beautiful game to look at and I like taking my time and wandering (level 17 E/Mo and only just got to Lions Arch with missions still behind me to finish yet).

i am about 90% pve. i havent done any pvp in a while but once i get my guild built up i want to start doing some gvg. but it seems that only the guilds with ts or vent can compete in the top ranks. i have heard rumors that anet is going to be coming out with their own voice chat system that everyone that plays gw's can use it for free. that would definitely help my guild out and i would then do alot more gvg. but until then i am playing pve.

Mostly PvE but I like PvP matches which are somewhat random like Random Arena, Alliance Battles, Fort Aspenwood and Jade's Quarry. Organized PvP matches are a bit too serious for my taste.

Both. I like pwning those poor AI buggers, and I like pwning those poor bugger that don't HAVE any intelligence, AKA 99% of RA's Whammo's.

I prefer PvP but I also enjoy PvE. When I began playing I was exclusively PvE and I tried to squeeze just about every drop of value from that aspect of the that I could. Then it started to get a little old. PvP provided a whole new maze of possibilities that reminded me a lot more of the days when I played Magic (looks around nervously for incoming flame). I find now that there is more sustainable depth in PvP, but I also still enjoy pve. I've simply begun spending more of my time on the other side of the GW coin. Of course someday when all my wealth is wasted on buying cool stuff for my pvp toons I'll be forced back in the salt mines of farming.

Never PvP, and dont understand its popularity. If I want to play against other people, I play FPS games. Other than that, none.

PvE mostly for me. I would like to be doing more PvP but ideally when I'm in a large guild group that can mix a few pvp games a week with some PvE missions/elites. For now I just pvp when I get bored or to let out some steam.

PVE - I like to just go out explore, cap elites, and open chests. The scenery is awesome!
Now I have tried PvP. I see nothing wrong with one who likes/loves to play that style as I did find it interesting to do. But for my taste it is not something that is as rewarding to me as being out in PvE. I will never flame nor frown on a person for wanting to PvP/GvG/AB.

Both, really. PvE at heart, but I'm fairly talented at PvP, even if I lack much experience.

PvE, with the occasional, light-hearted PvP (Snowball Arena, Dragon Arena, etc...).

PvE exclusively; I can't stand PvP. All my experiences with it have been miserable. But PvE is great; the huge world and different strategies to try keep it fun for months.

I'm primarily PvE, but lately I've gotten a bit bored with it so I'm testing the PvP waters in the AB area. I wouldn't touch the random arenas with a 10 foot pole as that seems to attract immature, trash-talking, wanna-bes.

I've spent about 7 months in PvE and have a pretty good grasp of things. 8 Upon trying PvP I was flamed repeatedly for not knowing what I was doing, despite asking questions and trying to understand what I had done wrong.

So, PvE it is!

I'm a PvP addict. Especially GvG's. When not doing GvG's you can find me in HA or doing alliance battles.

I do PvE occasionaly but not much
