    No, it isn't an argument because it's completely asinine and has no actual relevance. It has more PvE servers, therefore PvP doesn't really matter. That's so incredibly stupid, and straw grasping.

    "always been dwarfed by pve both by player participation and development focus"

    Yeah, I guess that's why all the major servers are PvP focused. Illidan, Tichondrius, Area 52, etc.

    Please direct me to where I said pvp doesn't matter because I don't recall ever saying anything like that.

    Less than 1% of the quests in WoW are for pvp and the game is nearly 20 years old. People typically lvl up with quests and dungeons, those are pve. The most famous high-end teams in the entire game are all raiding teams and raiding is pve. Battlegrounds are an option for gaining xp but it's far more efficient to lvl up in pve.

    Again not saying the pvp-scene has no relevance, it certainly does. Some of the most famous WoW streamers focus on pvp...but none of this changes that the game has always been mostly focused on pve. It's like how FFXIV is a story-driven game but some of the most famous FFXIV streamers don't focus on that content at all.

    Not even New World can truly boast being a pvp-driven game even though you can capture open-world regions and change the flow of the economy through doing that. Factions can end up owning the entire map of the game. WoW has nothing on this scale in pvp and you are trying to call it pvp-driven?

    You insinuated it.

    Oh, so now the quests are what determine the level of pvp. Lmfao. Keep moving them goal posts. No, it hasn't mostly focused on PvE. You know why people did raids back in the day? To get better gear, to stomp on lower geared players. Only a small fraction of the player base raided/raids. What do you think people did, if they didn't raid? They did open world pvp, and bg's. Despite someone who allegedly played back then, the level at which you understand the impact PvP had, and continues to on WoW, is infantile.

    It's almost as if you forget WoW also has a highly competitive arena community. A community that performs for cash prizes. Though, I guess that doesn't matter.

    Your arguments have been reduced to you accusing me of saying things I did not say. I didn't bother reading the rest of your post. I'm done with this conversation. Have a good night.

    I suggest understanding what you are saying, before stating. Else one talks out of ass.
