When I was looking at my account screen for the first time, it asked me to choose a PvE or PvP realm. I chose the PvP realm because I wanted to be able to fight someone occasionally in the world. Little did I know that World PvP is one of the things I enjoy the most about this game (Except you, Timeless Isle.). I played as a hardcore raider with little to do with PvE until I was top DPS in the core raiding group, and for 5 months straight I was screwed over by our GM because his alts needed gear, even though I had massive DKP. I turned to PvP. I <3 PvP. It's nice to actually use my brain for a video game.

I PvP only when there is nice gear for transmog. And I hate every minute of it. Once I get my gears, I'm done. PvP in WoW has never been balanced, unlike so many other (good) PvP options out there.

It's dynamic and I can do it without having to spend the obscene amount of time I did when I did hardcore PvE.

Constantly striving for new achievements(ratings) playing with new people and constantly improving has kept me to PvP since TBC.

Because I have fun, and can still play well when I'm so drunk I can't see straight. I only do it with groups of friends though.

Playing on a private server that only focuses on PvP as PvP is the only thing I enjoy about WoW, and I find it really not worth to pay a fee every month to play MoP as the PvP is garbage imo. Mainly playing WotLK, sometimes Cataclysm.

pvp because I don't enjoy killing scripted npcs that do the same stuff over and over :'D

Used to do it because it was was fun, MoP and to some extent Cata ruined that.
Said while playing WoW with cow, wolf, panda and fox girls.

PvP because I enjoy playing with friends, but don't have the patience/time/effort for raiding. I also find PvP much more intense and competitive.

3v3 arenas is probably the most fun design for a pvp game/feature, and ofc the competition
"Almost" same herePlaying on a private server that only focuses on PvP as PvP is the only thing I enjoy about WoW, and I find it really not worth to pay a fee every month to play MoP as the PvP is garbage imo. Mainly playing WotLK, sometimes Cataclysm.

I enjoy PvP because it is never the same. I found PvE incredibly boring. The NPC/Boss will do the exact same thing everytime.
Some could argue that PvP is the same, Class X does Y move when Z happens, but in PvP you have to constantly react and think on your feet.
I also get this rush afterwards that I FREAKING LOVE. Its exciting because depending on how well you play, you can determine the outcome.“What was God doing before the divine creation? Was he preparing
hell for people who asked such questions?” - Stephen Hawking
