Yes, I would.  I think MMOs actually do PVP rather poorly and that PVP negatively impacts the PVE game in many ways: destroys community, leads to endless balancing, etc.

I actually really do love PVP games by the way, and my main gaming love for years has been fighting games.  I just think that MMO PVP is rather sucky as: (1) It tends to be item based rather than skill based; and (2) MMO mechanics aren't really up to measuring skill in any case.

A big budget purely PVE MMO would be very nice.

I don't play MMOs that don't have some form of PvP. That PvP can be open PvP, region PvP, Faction PvP, Battleground PvP.

But with zero form of PvP the game loses it's challenge. The AI in PvE is weak and easy to figure out how to win everytime. The quests get old once you've done them all a couple times. The only real challenge comes from other players, human beings who can think and adapt.

That's why I am currently looking for a new MMO with battleground PvP, it's what I'm in the mood for but there seem to few choices.

I don't feel that a game works as well when it incorporates both. One aspect always seems to suffer for the good of the other. Thus, I would certainly play an all PvE (as I'm not that competitive and don't really have the desire to destroy other people's toons), and MAYBE an all PvP, if it was done in an incredible way. I think amazing things could be done with pure forms of either genre.

I like pvp but only if it is for some reason. In fuction vs fuction games I don’t like pvp. I don’t even like pvp if it gives points by killing poor guys, because it leads to ganks. I like pvp only if it is for personal reasons, like KSing mobs or offensive language etc etc.

I support the freedom in games, and pvp is a function that gives freedom and realism.
 

Hell yeah,I'll play a 100% PvE MMO as long as it is a true MMO and not those lame,piss poor Single player game with co-op advertised as MMORPG.I used to love PvP but after seeing the worse in the community in various game,I have no interest in the overated "PvP is the real thing" because it's all ZERGS.

I am a huge fan of pvp games and that is my game of choice if they are equally good. If bethesda puts out the Elder Scrolls/Oblivian mmo like it sounds they are going to, I will be playing that one regardless of the lack of pvp. My guess is that Bethesda sued Interplay to delay the release of the Fallout mmo and we will start seeing stuff on this in early 2011(Oblivian mmo). But this is all my speculations.

As opposed to PvE, where no one complains, no one labels anyone, and everyone holds hands while happily slaying the monsters?

 

ya right....

 

This brings me to dungeon failures a long time ago:

"WHY THE F*** DIDN'T YOU HEAL ME?

You pulled and I had no mana.

YOU'RE A FUCKING NOOB.

I had no mana...I couldn't heal.  

STFU."





Ontopic:

I would not play a pure PVE game.  It would feel too constricting.  PVP is my way of venting, or just having some fun.  Many of the games I play these days are PVP with PVE half-added in.

This isn't to say I don't enjoy good PVE, it's just extremely rare to find. 

I'm waiting for some awesome god-like gameplay from C9, Mabinogi Heroes, or Dragon Nest.

They look amazing.

Yes I would , it would take the grief out of griefers...you know those little dickturds with names like "killer perv" and "raging homo" whose only purpose in an MMO is to upset another persons gaming experience.

Not that I think PVP should be completely ruled out but I think there should be strict rules and player options to deter players from just running around ganking others for the sheer, sick enjoyment of just ruining someones day.

Some kind of sadistic orgasm or something. ?????

dollada06...I play DDO which is basically PVE except for the PVP brawling areas and I have interaction with people every time I log on.

Again a really dumb question because most MMO players end up pveing even with games that have pvp.

The same people that make PVE games unenjoyable.    Being a jerk isn't limited to a pve or pvp player. A jerk is a jerk and whatever the scenario will tend to try an ruin other's gameplay.

  Apart from fending off the odd pker and killing the always present higher lvl's griefing/camping lowbie areas, I don't pvp at all. If some people weren't such dicks online I could say I already play any of these mmo's @ 100% pve.

 Although, sadly mmo's require PvP to keep those hardcore endgame obsessed players happy, without it they would run out of content, quit, and stop paying much sooner.

Games with heavy PvE content with the people acting like that with poor social coping skills in the above capped text are usually self-policing. Anyone who has played a PvE game like FFXI will tell you those people above saying that nonsense would get blackballed and put on /block lists.

No one wants their PvE experience ruined by people like that with poor social skills, so those people usually find themselves without parties since they obviously have social problems dealing with their fellow man/woman and treating them with basic respect

The funny thing is that I usually see those "Glad you are leaving our pvp game, noob. Carebears leave now" types really aren't sad to see non-pvp players leave. They take up the majority of their "fame/rank/standing/prestige" points that make them so "famous" in the first place because they simply choose to live on this type of opponent.

The majority of people I see claiming to be "good" at pvp are usually spending ways to find out how they can get the easy kills or game exploits on people doing something OTHER than PvP at the time i.e. (Farming mobs, collecting resources for crafting, away from keyboard to answer the door, etc...) Then they brag later about their leet skills.

Don't even get started on the gold buyers who have to have the good gear to beat anyone in a pvp game, or the outright hackers who can't stand losing so they hack to hit you from under the floor, fly in the air (in non flying games), run with superspeed that even the Flash couldn't catch, or simply wear cloth and laugh while an entire guild is beating on them doing 1 dmg point each, lol.

Pvp rocks.. yawn.

Very rarely in any pvp I have played in the last few years that has some type of open world are these "hardcore" gamers fighting worthy opponents because those losses drop their rankings and muss their epeen, so they choose to go after the carebears. Heck, a lot even brag about it, then when you call them out on it later, they claim they really go after the "tougher" opponents and was just "having fun griefing". Can't have it both ways, friend... youre either a ganker or you're not.

Basically, if Pvp people left Pve games, no one would notice really since its such a small part of the overall MMO population, seeing how the typical MMO players are casual players and prefer PvE. But if Pve people left pvp based games, most of those games would collapse overnight, or be like ghost towns.

I would play a PvE only game, because I am not a fan of PvP at all.

ok, but you're talking specifically about a "hardcore" open PvP game only, and I agree with some of what you have to say..

However, those arent the only PvP type games that exist..

DAoC and Warhammer brought in two games with a very different type of PvP, RvR, Aion as well (though i havent played it, so i cant give specifics) as just a few examples.. I'm curious why you have to judge the majority of  PvPers from what we all will agree is a very niche' type of game..

Maybe hardcore pvp is not so fun, faction vs faction pvp is without reason and very boring (I can’t understand why they create fvf games… the gameplay is always worst than the mixed races of ffa), but sieges are very important for mmo games and PK is a function that any mmo should have, to give to some rude kids what they deserve so to be afraid and stop complaining (but without points and rewards for PKing).

 Yes


I LOATH PvP With a pasion so hot that the sun itself cringhes for it

I am a roleplayer, therefore I value a big and diverse environment. With that, I enjoy reading through well-written stories, if possible at all, by playing games. A PVE-only MMO, preferably MMORPG, would certainly interest me, for the game would revolve solely around story and environment, if executed correctly. Thus, such a game would be perfect for roleplaying, when offered extra possibilities for doing so and steady updating on the game itself (expanding the areas and environment).
