    I just don't play well when it comes to PvP. Its not an intentional thing. I've tried in various games to, 'Get Good,' and it never works for me. I am an automatic detriment to anyone's team. Maybe I'm just one of those very rare cases of a person who just monumentally and fundamentally sucks at something and cannot improve no matter what. Its part of the reason I generally avoid PvP. Why bring down someone else's experience because of my abysmal ability at a certain aspect of the game.

    I've seen other people with the same sentiment. If you don't mind my asking: why is it so different from any other part of the game for you? Is it just the fact that you know it's a person on the other end?

    I don't know whether it's his issue or not, but in PvE a lot of players rely rather heavily on learning the fight. They might be really good when they're facing mobs that they've fought before, but you never get to reach that point in PvP.

    It's both a reason why many players seeking more variety like PvP and a reason why many other players who rely on a certain predictability don't.

    Can't speak for others but PVP is very difficult for me thanks to my poor reaction time. I can get by in PVE thanks to the heavy scripting of fights but even then the highest end stuff is beyond me.

    I try my best to help my team when I PVP but I can tell I'm no good. I'll see a target being bursted down while I'm still trying to switch over to them.

    Could be a subconscious thing I suppose. Niwashi might have a good point too. Normal gameplay sort of sinks into muscle memory a bit. One dungeon run starts to become the same over and over once you've done it enough. Tank pulls large groups, you damage them all/heal the tank, etc... Not sure what my hangup is either way and I don't want to hijack the thread. People like me are not a majority, so I don't mind SE designing content for the majority, rather than tailoring it to me.

    I know people who enjoy PvE much more than PvP coz they prefer a scripted fight and excel against the complex design of mechanics.

    I know people who enjoy PvP much more than PvE coz they prefer the variety of playing against a human and you have to think an react on the spot - no two fights are the same.

    Each one to their own - people are free to do whatever they enjoy most
