PvE obselete?

[Decroux]

IF you like playing with a real life person, why the hell are you doing it over the net? Go join a sport or something! This is what I assumed PvP's lure was. Pretend you have a life and deceive yourself and your friends into thinking so because you're all playing a game together. News flash!
You're not better than us. Despite the fact that you are playing a GAME with real people, you're still playing a GAME for many many hours. It doesn't make you any less geeky than us who will play through Mass Effect trying to unlock everything or the offline Quake III Arena in the hardest difficulty.
I always had it in the back of my mind when I talked to other people who say that are a 'pc gamer' and show me on their Xfire or whatever that they've played Counterstrike over 9000 hours a month. Yet if I were to say that about Oblivion or some other mainly PvE game, I would instantly be classed as someone with no life. Where is the justice in that?

I play GW. PvE has been completely abandoned, and unless you have a good guild, you'll have to use heroes (NPC's for whom you set skill bars, attributes and gear, and have the intelligence of a dog with an aneurysm) and henchmen (NPC whose skills, attributes and gear have been set by a dog with an aneurysm, and who have the intelligence of an amoeba) all the time. Happily, I have one such guild, so I'm thrilled.
PvP in Guild Wars, as has been said, relies on gimmicks, overpowered combinations and insane ganking.

You do realize that 90% of the stuff people do on WoW is end-game raiding and instancing, right? Blizzard has been making it faster and easier for people to get to the end-game PVE content for months now.

I hate that so much. That's why I RP. I don't care about leveling. In saying that, once achievements come over I won't feel like I'm wasting my time as I will have a way to effectively complete World of Warcraft... perhaps De-Rez's plan can come to fruition.

So wait you don't want to do end game raiding but you happy there will be achievements to complete? So guess you need blizzard to tell you and show everyone else that you achieved something then?

I think he meant it in relation to having something to do aswell as just RP'ing. I could be wrong though... Second, isn't that how it works anyway? Your gear or Arena rating being Blizzard telling what you're worth as a player, and showing everyone else what you've achieved? These new achievements are just another way...although, I can't judge as to their difficulty at this time, they'll probably be a mixed bag of how easy some will be to get over others...
