Well, over the weekend, Adam Holinsky has sure stirred things up over at WoW Insider.  He first wrote Why PvE has been, and will always be, the only real game. He follows that up a bit later with Why the PvP game exists in WoW, and why it's a good thing. As you can imagine, the commentary section goes nuts, with rabid fans of both sides coming out to voice their pleasure or dissent with the line of thought in the Op/Ed style articles. I won't go into my personal feeling on this topic (though the sharp eyed among you may find them in the commentary section...) but it seems to me that a lot of folks are getting worked up over this, and I've long wondered why. PvP'er's claim that their game is the "one true skill", and raiding requires only watching Deadly Boss Mods and/or Omen while PvE'er's claim that PvE is the only "one true skill" as so much is required to make it go right. While arguments abound on both sides, I find it an interesting look at the two main sections of the WoW community, and despite playing the same game in the end, how hard it seems to be for these two sides to even consider co-existing.
