Guild Wars 2

to a core pvp’r – or wvw – pve is something you do when you need a break from pvp – so we do it once in a while for the adventure and change of pace- not so much for items. ( although everyone enjoys finding nice stuff )

to a core pve’r – wvw or pvp is something you do after you got all the best ‘looking’ items and want to show it off in pvp. It makes no sense to simply enjoy speed running a dungeon – you enjoy getting the best stuff so you can show it off.

in the end, pve – is not end game – pvp is ….for pvp’rs its to show off skill….for pve’rs its to show off items.

historically – for those who didn’t like pvp at all – then end game was Roleplaying with the best items. – in that case Lions arch or any other major city in the game was end game. – and part of the roleplay was about the events in pvp.
