[poll] Which realms have better raiding, PvE or PvP?

[Howard Moon]

Hello MMOChampion!

Which type of realm, in your experience, has "better" raiding? I shall define "better" as: more number of active raiding guilds, and friendlier and more mature raiding atmosphere. More rapid progression also counts, but I'm not too interested in that.

* Please vote if you know the answer from own experience, what friends have told you, what reliable info you've read, etc.
* Please don't vote just out of gut feeling (i.e. "i don't know, but it's most probably so-and-so").
* Yes I deliberately left out RP and RPPvP realms.

Also please comment on any personal experiences that might help me decide between realm type.

Thank you!

PvP realms for sure, but I would definitely not say they are "friendlier and more mature." PvP realms are typically more progressed, but have an equally higher population of stereotypical arena elitists who look down their nose at everyone (never minding their own 1600 rating) and can't formulate one straight sentence in the English language, but rather communicate entirely in PvP jargon consisting of such terms as "RMP" "Beast Cleave" "Peel" and "cy@".

PvP servers always excel more at raiding because they're just naturally more competitive.
