Re: Why All the Hate?

Nice discussion piece it is easy to see why these subjects generate such hot debate.

For the record I have lots of PvE and PvP experience. It is a fact that the biggest adrenaline rush is generated in PvP when you come into contact with a more powerful foe. nothing in PvE is as unpredictable or challenging as another human. But I have seen friends driven out of games by bullies or campaigns by jealous players. Being ganked and spat upon in WOW for me is disgusting gameplay which I hope will not be a feature in Vanguard.

I am barred from PvP nowdays being partly disabled I am no longer nimble enough on the keyboard to take on a guild war and refuse to be liability on a contested raid.

If PvP is emotion based then PvE is Cerebral. Know your class, study the mobs and my favourite explore the world.

On the other subject I am a casual player who will put in 30-40 hours a week!

Forced into semi retirement I have many hours to kill and want to savour the experience. I will be a good player, learn my class, be a reliable guild member but I dont expect ever to reach the level cap or take part in high level raids.

I will level slow, be social or spend time solo exploring. I will craft and be a diplomat, harvest for my guild and group for dungeons but 8 -12 hour intense sessions would be more than I can handle.
