Ultimately, such a study would be of little value. It'd just be an ego contest and the only thing up for grabs being self-validation. People can imagine that there are hundreds of thousands of invisible PvPers secretly seal-clubbing it up in open, but the simple logistics of the game world dictate that PvP is a rare occurrence outside of a few systems where PvPers congregate either to thump each other's chests or gang up on helpless PvE players and traders. It's so incredibly pointless that I can't imagine there are more people who consider PvP the 'meat' of the game for them as opposed to PvE.
I am sure the better nature and positive side of the various posters will come to the fore, and we'll have a perfectly reasoned and calm debate.
Poor mods, it's times like this I feel for you guys ;-) I can kind of imagine you all in mod HQ... a bell rings... "Oh god, another one has started..."
Please transplant some optimism, I am in severe shortage.
I think we can all agree that this forum has more PvE players than PvP players.
If you only knew....
I'm pretty certain that the majority of gamers play offline/solo/pve in almost all games.
Ah, is that's why PvP League exists...
I never knew they congregate to seal club, that's news to me.

I'm glad to see you accepted PvPers congregate for chest-thumping purposes. Acceptance is the first step on the road to recovery.
This debate IS going places after all!

This forum user-base is predominantly PvE, with discussions revolving around that and generally lesser-PvP minded. Without even looking at the results - i'm going to assume that's already being reflected on this poll.

...but why not both as an option? [wink]
Well the majority of activities in the game are PVE so naturally there will be more of a PVE focus. Obviously out of the major professions in the game (Trade/Combat/Exploration) it's only combat that has any PVP content at all.+ It's virtually impossible to get combat elite fighting just cmdrs. Even die hard PVP combat pilots gain most of their credits and rank by PVE activities.
Obviously which you prefer is entirely subjective, for me it's PVE as combat isn't my focus.
Because that doesn't polarize viewpoints![]()

Well, I didn't ask for what players want to play, but for a priority among the listed playstyles - that's the reason I didn't include the "both" option, because that would be an answer to a different question.
