PvP vs PvE in WoW? What is the Best Choice?

Published on by makro

There are so many things to do and so many options to choose in World of Warcraft. But as far as PvP and PvE are concerned, what should you choose? Let's go through a PvP vs PvE guide to find out.

 

What is PvE? And what is PvP?

In World of Warcraft, you'll find two kinds of players. There are the artificial players, the computer made ones, and they are called NPCs - short for Non-Player Characters.

There are also real people behind computer screens, all hooked up on the Internet and connected through the WoW user interface. The real players are called Player Characters, PCs, or more often just "Players". Yeah, no surprise there.

You can interact with both the NPC's and the real players, and when you're fighting against either, it has a name, too.

If you're fighting against NPCs, you (the player) are against the environment. It's called Player vs Environment, shortened to PvE.

On the other hand, if you're fighting against real persons, you're performing a Player vs Player action, shortened PvP.


PvE or PvP? What will you choose?

Now, the big question is: Should you choose PvE or PvP?

You can do both, but you'll notice that people tend to have their preferences. There are players, who spend must of their time in battlegrounds or arenas, fighting against other players. And then others prefer to go into a dungeon or a raid and fight non-player characters.

One of the biggest differences is that if you do PvE, it means that your opponents will always act in the same way. When you encounter a boss in a dungeon, you know it will cast a spell on that moment, and it will stun you at that later moment, and when it says this sentence, you know that it will get some other NPCs to help fight you.

When you've learnt how to kill a boss, you can rinse and repeat and kill the boss repeatedly in the same way.

After the boss is killed, you can get loot from him, which normally consists of nice weapons or gear.

If you're fighting other players in PvP, you'll never know how they react. You'll have an idea about what their class can do and not do, but even knowing that a priest can heal or cast a spell on you, cannot tell you, if this specific priest will do either of the two, or if he'll try to run away.

When you kill another player, you don't really get a loot, although taking his insignia sometimes will hand you a bit of silver or gold. However, the goal is not to get loot, but to harvest honour points by killing the enemy.

And the enemy is normally the other faction. If your character is a member of the alliance, you'll be fighting the horde. Unless you go for a friendly duel with your friends, in which case you can fight horde against horde, or alliance against alliance.
