New WoW Player, PvP or PvE?

[Brion]

Literally 95% of world "pvp" situations is either you getting attacked without a chance to defend yourself (be it they're 4v1 or 10 lvls above or you're in the middle of an elite mob pull or whatever) or you attacking soeone who has no chance to defend themselves, if you decide to be like the cool kids. The actual good bits of pvp are massively outweighed by opportunities for people to be cunts to one another, which they gladly take. People are cunts.
Level on pve if you value your time, because the shitters on pvp certainly won't value your time one bit. Besides, it's impossible to make lvl 60s migrate to pve, and we do have a population problem on this end

Basically this. Leveling up, it really isn't player vs. player, the aggressor has a massive advantage in some way, so it ends up player vs. player-who-is-desperately-trying-to-kill-this-quest-mob-before-dying. Sometimes it's fun when you end up with a little 5v5 or 4 level 30s trying to bring down a level 50, but that only happened for me two or three times while leveling. The vast majority of the time it's not fun or engaging in any way.

If you like ganking and camping characters who have no chance/interest in fighting back, then PvP server is definitely for you.

PvEers are the ones who tossed the lemons out in the trash because the lemons were too sour.

PvPers are the ones who took their lemons and made lemonaide.

Start PvE!

When I first started back in Vanilla, it was on a PvE server and I loved every second of it. By the time I reached about level 50, I realized I was spending all of my time raiding Horde towns rather than leveling or questing. So, I re-rolled (Undead of course) on a PvP server and never looked back.

Point being, PvP servers can be EXTREMELY frustrating at times, but if you are already certain that's what you enjoy, then you'll never second guess your decision!

As someone who has played both factions on both servers I would recommend you to roll on the PvE server. For me it's not so much about PvP versus PvE, I just think the PvP server is way too populated.

I play both servers.
Go PVE, no doubt. UNLESS, world pvp is a big feature for you.

Not all people are that. There are some.


If you love running into more trolls, lag, overpopulation, getting ganked left and right, being corpse camped a lot, running around more, looking for mobs and items for quests longer, then the PVP server is just for you!


PVE realm on the other hand is a smooth vanilla gaming experience.

If i played on a pve carebear server and a player from the other faction was stealing my mobtags (probably happens every day) I would never log on again after not being able to turn his rectum inside out.

That argument kinda falls flat when you consider the populations on both servers. 12K on PvP server with a 50/50 split H:A and 3K on PvE server at peak hour.

That means on the PvE server you compete with 3,000 players for stuff and can't kill any of them and on PvP server you compete with 12,000 players and can't kill 6,000 of them as 1 in 2 players are the same faction as you.

Fuck your numbers.
