Aw what the hell.  I've got responsibilities to avoid. :3
 
1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
PVE | It really depends on the server community.
 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
I do not enjoy looking at other players as targets unless there is a legitimate reason for me to do so. (because I can / because they might is not a legitimate reason for me!)
 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
The sheer amount of distractions in the world | It's a tad repetitive. :T
 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
The tight-knit communities it encourages and the random, large scale, semi-organized brawls | Being forced to dance for other people's amusement.
 
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
Not really an economy person.  I just mine and sell the stuff I don't use. | I do buy CREDD, and I can say I miss the days when they were 2 plat. :P
 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
Better reasons to PVP than "because I can" and more fun ways to escape attack than running to and sitting at a guard until the assessor leaves. 
 
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?  In response to some questions, I am referring specifically to world content.  20 man world content (Scorchwing, Tree), 5 man content (Nursery questlines, Ely), and solo world content (rare hunting, et al).
Yes. Although I would love to see these types of content behave as organically as GW2's events. :T
 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
I do not. | It depends | YES YES YES
 
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
It depends entirely on the content.
 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
I'd like to have PVE events to have a bit of story progression to them intead of them all being "we need a thing done" "Ok you did the thing, come back in a few minutes/hours when we'll need another round of saving" Like having Dominion NPCs try to invade Thayd every few hours, and you'd have to defend the gate, then push the line, then destroy their encampment, then heal your soldiers, then gather supplies, then re set up the defense, etc etc etc  This stuff could compliment the current questing area in Galeras nicely, imho | WvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvWWvWvWvWvWvWvW SO MUCH OF MY LIFE WOULD BE WASTED ON WvWvW  Idc, put it in a simulation, make it team strain vs team augmented vs team squirg.  Player factions don't matter, and smarter folk than I can figure out how the hell that distribution would work (sign ups with population caps and transfers at the end of seasons? Random, ya get what you get, class-based shuffling for every season? Ouija board?).
 
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
Doesn't matter the size of the guild, but the tightness of the community.
 
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
Neutral | Positive | Positive | less positive
 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
Community | DOOMSAYERS
 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
Umm, good hardware?

Umm, good hardware?
----
			
1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
 
PVE.  I'm happy where I am.
 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
 
It was in North America and was PVE.  Originally I was on Evindra.
 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
 
I like the world story aspects.  
 
It feels stale if the world doesn't actively change in response to the story.
 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
 
PVP is a strange beast.  In its best forms, it provides its own ongoing story.  It's emergent gameplay which provides a very in-the-moment intensity which can be very appealing.  There is a lot of good in the direct and unplanned conflict.
 
Honestly, I'm not often in the mood for that intensity, and it typically serves as a distraction.  If I'm in the game world, it's there as a get-away, and the intensity level is in my full control (raiding, dungeons, adventures, soloing, crafting, etc).
 
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
 
I am not a regular purchaser, however when I do it's usually mundane things for runecrafting.  Sometimes harder to find power modules for crafting.
 
I WOULD buy dyes if the distribution of them wasn't FUBAR.  There is absolutely no reason a dye should ever be soulbound in my view.
 
I would probably buy more costume pieces perhaps.
 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
 
I honestly don't know.  I am not inclined to inflict that on myself.
 
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?  In response to some questions, I am referring specifically to world content.  20 man world content (Scorchwing, Tree), 5 man content (Nursery questlines, Ely), and solo world content (rare hunting, et al).
 
Nightly.  I enjoy it all.
 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
 
Never in Wildstar.  I very occasionally dabbled in Halaa way back in the day.  It was fun to fly in and participate once in awhile.  A certain integrated PVP goal wouldn't go amiss even on a PVE server.
 
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
 
20-40 seems appropriate, though it's plainly obvious that many of the events were never designed for massive groups.  Grove defense is alright and goes up to 40 pretty well (requires it for gold).  R-12 appears to be aimed at ... 15-20?
 
I have no idea about world PVP.  5 man skirmishes might be alright.
 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
 
Loot and money are always nice.  Reputation is a reward I usually groan at because it becomes an obligation to try to max it out.  Once that is accomplished, everything is a lot more relaxed.
 
I doubt I would strive for PVP goals constantly
 
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
 
I have no idea.
 
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
 
I think they're fine.  Of course at the moment, they have largely worked in my favor.  I sympathize with the EU PVP server, hope they can find a way to get their community back.  At the same time, I have been bit far too often by migratory patterns in guilds, and feel like smoothly transferring to play with friends and family is a good thing.
 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
 
It's a fine server, seems to work fairly well, lots of people.  
 
I do miss the random RP that was on Evindra though.  I'm not much of a RP person (at least in person -- I do pay attention to story) but I thought it added a nice ambiance and was happy to appreciate the efforts.
 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
 
I honestly don't know.  If I'm with the guild and people I want to play with, largely the rest of the world has little impact to my enjoyment.	
----
			
1. What type of server do you play on? What type of server would you like to be playing on?
 
PvP. I originally rolled on the PvE server as it is the preferred choice to get my wife to play with me. I could not find any PvP centric guild so rerolled. I would prefer PvE so my wife will play with me again.
 
 
2. Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
 
Only server that advertised large scale PvP guilds at the time.
 
 
3. What do you like best about world PVE? What do you dislike most about it?
 
I like the immediate rewards and ease of access for "large scale" activities
I hate getting there the most. Forming up people, moving to the location easily. Summons are useful but it can still take 10 minutes to get everyone to just teleport to Grimvault.
 
4. What do you like best about world PVP? What do you dislike most about it?
 
World PvP is not very interesting to me. It's just a gankfest. A strong person running around killing weak people, or 3-5 weak people running around killing weak people. I would prefer to see large scale PvP settings where everyone is interested in PvP, IE Wintergrasp style objectives/zones.
 
5. What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly? What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it? Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
 
Rune materials. Many of the items I would buy but current were updated this Drop. I buy CREDD. I sacrifice the improvement of characters for CREDD purchases, gladly.
 
6. What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
 
More active PvP community.
 
7. How often do you engage in world PVE? Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these? Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything? In response to some questions, I am referring specifically to world content. 20 man world content (Scorchwing, Tree), 5 man content (Nursery questlines, Ely), and solo world content (rare hunting, et al).
 
I liked to Power Level friends. I liked to sit and grind mobs for hours. I didn't charge anyone I just let them sit and gain exp and guild influence. It feels less beneficial for me to do so now with the loss of BoE world drops and low levels not gaining exp when grouped with 50s.
 
8. How often do you engage in world PVP? Where do you like to engage in it? Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
 
I world PvP when BGs won't pop and I need the last few hundred prestige. Then I try to gank weaker players so I can buy my gear.
Halaa style events were garbage. People got what they needed and stopped doing them. Wintergrasp had rewards that were more worthwhile so you could get good matches on a more regular basis.
 
9. What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content? World PVP?
 
5 friends is reasonably easy to get. If rewards are sufficient 20 isn't out of the question if you spam in the city. Increase 20 man rewards :P
 
10. What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out? What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
 
I'd like to see a giant rumble fest style Battleground/Arena/Open world area. Less objectives and more just straight up cluster melee. The open world PvP events looked similar to this and people seemed to enjoy them. I suppose a very simple objective, something like "King of the Mountain" or "Last Man Standing in the Circle" types would be nice.
 
11. What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
 
I think the problem with guild size is Influence gain. It's too hard for guilds to build up buffs easily.
 
 
12. What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers? What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation? What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles? What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
 
I wouldn't mind seeing the two servers instanced together in open world. Similar to what WoW has done for the leveling zones. You encounter and can interact with folks from other servers but maintain your home server.
 
13. What do you like best about your current server? What do you dislike about your current server?
 
It's just a server. I'd like to see more people.
 
14. Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
 
Population that is helpful and not toxic. So, player driver, not Carbine driven elements.

{| class="blockquote"
 
1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
 
I play on a PvE server.  I don't really have any interest in open-world PvP without a territorial control system attached to it.
 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
 
See above - I chose an RP server initially, for the record :)
 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
 
In Wildstar I like that it challenges me.  It's not just a cakewalk like many other games.  I actually have to dodge, and think, to beat some world encounters.
 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
 
I'm no stranger to PvP but I prefer to PvP for a reason - most of the time, world PvP just ends up being random ganking because someone's in a different faction.  I need a more tangible reason to want to kill another player than "they're a filthy dommie".  I also dislike the attitude of many people who engage in open-world PvP (no offense intended to anyone), where they'll run from a fair fight but happily jump you with superior numbers.  I had enough of that type of warfare in EVE, thanks.
 
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
 
Power cores are about the only thing I buy :)  I SELL armor that I craft.  When I sell, I try to price at a level that players working their way up on their first character (and not farming dailies every day) can afford to pay.  I don't buy/sell CREDD, although I will occasionally purchase a CREDD from Carbine to use as an event prize for a server event.
 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
 
A meaningful territorial control system with attached objectives might convince me to roll a character on Warhound.
 
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?
 
Relatively infrequently, and usually only with my guild.  I see these types of things more as guild events than anything else and so I tend not to do them unless I have a bunch of guildies with me.  As far as what I enjoy though, I like it all, and variety is a big plus.
 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
 
Pretty much never.  See above comments.
 
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
 
For PvE, 5-person parties or 20 person raids.  For PvP, I love massive battles, so anything up to hundreds of players, if I did it :)
 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
 
Dailies bore the heck out of me in PvE.  Something more dynamic would be really nice - especially if it results in mini-instances that I can do with a group, where the maps/enemies/objectives change periodically. New story content such as the Defile is always good as well.
 
For PvP, see above comments.  Give the two sides something meaningful to fight for/over.
 
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
 
There's no right answer for this question and no wrong answer either.  For my purposes, we aim for a guild size of around 20-25 people online simultaneously at prime time which translates to around 60 or so active members.
 
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
 
In the current state of the game transfers are needed.  Long-term, these may not be as desirable if economies remain seperated.  However, if the economies were merged across the PvE and PvP servers then it wouldn't be as big of an issue really.  Cross-server guilds I don't think would work just because a guild is generally about *doing things* together.  Circles on the other hand are a more social construct most of the time, so shouldn't be as big of an issue.  Merging PvE and PvP would work fine for me (as long as I wasn't forced to flag any more than currently) but I respect players who want to have a full PvP experience all the time and feel the game should provide that.
 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
 
Entity has a great community.  We've done really well since the server merge and did not lose (as some feared) the soul of what we had before on Evindra.  My only real complaint is that, well, it's not an RP server, and there's definitely an anti-RP element playing.  But thankfully those people seem to be few and far between.
 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
 
Honestly it's less about the server and more about the game.  People base their perception of a server on obvious signs of population - who's in zone with you, how much stuff is listed on the auction house, are prices reasonable, and so on.  In any level-based game, the challenge is *always* going to be maintaining that "feeling" of population in lower-level or city areas, regardless of how many people are actively playing.  There are lots of ways to accomplish this, but they aren't specific to any one server or ruleset.

1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
 
PVE/PVE
 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
 
I find random ganking utterly pointless.
 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
 
(NB: It's been a few months since I've done any so some of this might be out of date)
 
Pro: Fights don't require a fixed size team. 
Con: In levelling content rewards were based on contribution.  If somebody seriously overlevelled the content was present they walked away with most of the good loot.
 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
 
Depends on what you mean.  Random ganking? Pass.  Objective based, now I might be interested.
 
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
 
Buy: Crafting mats, catalysts (only if I'm levelling a coord crafting skill), the occasional piece of armor for costuming purposes, FABkits
Sell: Crafting intermediates, raw materials if and only if the return beats vendor + CX tax, high value dyes
 
While crafted blues are (were?) better than levelling drops, I never remember to look.  And, well, drops are "good enough"
 
CREDD: I've been playing on CREDD since August.  What I think would be a "fair" value is unimportant, what I'm willing to spend on it is.  That's going to depend on how much effort it takes for me to accumulate plat.  At the moment my "don't buy" point is "not much more than 10p".
 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
 
Eliminate the hard-factioning, provide open world objectives, figure out how to normalize gear (eg. TOR's bolster idea except one that works) and make the gear advantage between noob and top tier no worse than 5%.
 
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?
 
Ouside of the odd world boss fight or Elonya when the guild was still around, I haven't.  I prefer a variety but when it comes to group content I much prefer content that can deal with flexible group sizes (benches are stupid).  I don't mean it should be 5-40 capable, 4-8, 8-15, 15-25, 20+
 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?

9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
 
See #7
 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
 
Variety is key I think.  Mini-events are good.  Grinding is a huge turn off.  Crimson Badlands before Drop 3 was particularly grindy... haven't been there after Drop 3.
 
Rewards... A mix of random drops and longer term goals would work.  The longer term stuff has to be carefully balanced with effort.  Must have things like full Ability Points, AMPs and additional LAS should take a relatively short time (a few weeks, a couple months at most).  Nice to haves (eg. Cloud Serpent) can require extended effort.
 
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
 
No clue how to answer this.
 
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
 
Server Transfers: I'm happy people have the option to transfer but it doesn't affect me at this time.
 
Temporary Visits: Might be neat to hit a player arranged event like that Farside brawl a few months ago.
 
Cross Server: I strongly support the idea of making every group feature cross server (Guilds, channels, circles, ah/cx/credd, pvp queues, pve queues and raids).
 
Merging PvP and PvE: Should never happen.  Some people like gankstyle, others abhor it.  If it does happen, then we'll need some hard sharding (and if that becomes a thing, maybe they can make one for the RP folk :ph34r:)
 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
 
Population is great.  Not seeing any negatives really.
 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
 
Population, Community, Objectives.

1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
On: PVE
Like: RPPVE very sad we lost our own server. 
 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
Ever been ganked while fishing? It'll put you way off the idea of open pvp servers. 
 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
Best: There are always challenging things to do, and no tagging means you have all the reason to help take on bigger enemies with random players in the area. Dislike: Standard MMO competition for resource nodes
 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
Best: N/A
Worst: N/A
 
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
Repeat Purchase: Power Cores and lesser runes
Wish List: I'd love to buy cosmetic gear and have a much larger sleection of dyes on there, but knowing price gouging, i'd never afford them. 
CREDD: Never bought or sold, but I feel 2/3 plat is the most I would fork out given how long that can take to get. 
 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
Not gonna happen. 
 
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?  In response to some questions, I am referring specifically to world content.  20 man world content (Scorchwing, Tree), 5 man content (Nursery questlines, Ely), and solo world content (rare hunting, et al).
Content: When playing, I prefer small group combat for the most part. 5-man being a sweet spot, but 20 looks fun, though I have not done so yet. 
Events: I'd love to see more team assault missions. Some larger scale town defense could be fun too
 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
I do not participate.  If there is world PVP I prefer Wintergrasp zoned events. 
 
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
Never more than 20. 
 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
Some randomly generated group world PVE would be awesome. Multitime event where in small pockets of players work cooperatively. 
 
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
I agree with the recent conversion to remove 40 man content, as it is just too punishing to wrangle that many people in a single event often. 20 is the sweet spot for large scale, though I would really like to see 10 man support as well, which would be easily found for small local friend groups to assemble. 
 
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
Et all: I feel the more integration the better to help bolster the population, but I still feel that there should be separations by the special and incompatible interests (PVP vs PVE vs RP).  It's not the days of Vanilla where server pride was a major drive, while now, Wildstar helps to provide a great actual community feel through the housing and customization systems.  By allowing more players to access these player driven achievements, it helps grow the game. 
 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
N/A Haven't had time to analyze the situation since the merger due to limited game time. 
 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
The best servers are those where the community is united in their cause. Be that Hard core raiders, PVP mayhem, RP events, PVE server events, or player driven content.

RP-PvP
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
Wanted to try out PvP.3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
Never really taken part in group PvE but I enjoy going through all the Story Quests and exploring all the areas.
The repetitiveness of some quests is a bit boring and being unable to repeat some of them is disappointing.
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
Not taken part in it before. Transferred to PvP server today so I'll hopefully be able to take part in this soon.
Lack of players on server meaning that I can't do wPvP as much as I would like to.
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
I only buy Dyes and Costume parts out of the AH/CX. More focused on levelling than crafting or housing ATM so I don't have much need for them.
Specific pieces of exclusive equipment/costumes - Soulbound Dyes, rarer Dye Boxes, Highwayman Costume, Costumes from other paths (e.g. Explorer being able to buy and wear Scientist costume). Can't purchase as they aren't available for sale.
Never sold or purchased CREDD.
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
Nothing unless I became the very last player on my server. I'm happy on PvP right now. Moved because there were too many players on Jabbit which caused my computer to have frame rate issues.7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?  In response to some questions, I am referring specifically to world content.  20 man world content (Scorchwing, Tree), 5 man content (Nursery questlines, Ely), and solo world content (rare hunting, et al).
Currently only playing solo. Still going through story quests and completing previous areas with my characters.
Overall prefer solo content as I can relax more whilst doing it.
Variety.
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
Haven't participated yet, but hoping to start soon now that I'm on the PvP server.
In the open world.
Both. The open world so more players can join in, smaller nodes so fighting becomes more intense as it's harder to avoid attacks or escape.
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
Haven't participated yet so cannot say.
Depends on how many players are on each side. If one side has far more players than the other then it becomes much harder to enjoy it.
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
Solo questing for PvE and World PvP. wPvP looks like a lot of fun as well as keeping you on your toes and making quests that bit more challenging.
Prestige, Renown (is that what the PvE currency is called?) and more money are good enough to persuade me to keep playing.
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
Tight knit communities are more important than its overall size.12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
PvP to PvE but no PvE to PvP transfers really damaged the populations on PvP. Hoping that PvE to PvP transfers will help the population on the PvP server.
Not sure how I feel about it.
I'd rather have Guilds and Circles exclusively on one server.
I'd rather have separate servers for both PvE and PvP.
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
Peaceful and I can level up in peace at my own pace.
It's supposed to be a PvP server so I shouldn't be allowed to do the above.
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
Regular new content to keep me entertained when I'm playing solo.
Lots of helpful and friendly players. No rude or hurtful players, or hackers.
A sizeable population meaning that finding players to play with is easier.

1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
 
-PVE - PVE
 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
 
-PVE suits my style much more than PVP does. Not against Open world PVP, but glad it's separated into it's own Server.
 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
 
-Doing events with friends, or meeting new people through world events. I actually don't mind questing and am very much addicted to the loot/level up progression. I dislike the negativity that comes from the perspective; if your not at my level, or doing it my way, your wrong and need to get out. 
 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
 
-The idea of open world PVP is fun, exciting. Although the idea of getting ganked when I'm by myself while trying to do a simple quest is just not fun. 
 
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
 
- I don't buy much from the AH, just a gear piece here and there if it has nice run slots. I would buy dye maybe if the prices for some were a little lower, but haven't researched enough to say for sure. haven't bought any credd, the price seems fairly low to me considering how quickly you can get 10-15 Plat through farming. 
 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
 
- If it was forced on me. I would maybe try a pvp server if they added a scaled zone system similar to Guild Wars 2, to at least protect lower level players from getting ambushed by higher level players.
 
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?  In response to some questions, I am referring specifically to world content.  20 man world content (Scorchwing, Tree), 5 man content (Nursery questlines, Ely), and solo world content (rare hunting, et al).
 
- As much as I can! Not really into raiding, just don't have the time (or want) for that kind of commitment, but anything where it is team/goal oriented is the most fun for myself. If i have to be the decoy and get killed by everything but our team wins, it would be fine by me. 
 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
 
- I don't at all, but I do think having particular areas where open world PVP is on is a nice feature to have. Some sort of capture/goal thing. 
 
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
 
- 5-10 for both. Anything larger only works well in a guild environment with Mics, where people have formed relationships and know how to give, and receive orders. 
 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
 
- Anything that would add variety. Any quest can get boring after doing it for 50 straight days, I think its more about adding some variety so that maybe you only see the same thing once or twice a week. Rewards are tough, I do like some of the dailies where I get to choose from selection, housing, Gear, dye, ect.
 
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
 
-I don't think there is a right number. Only thing I could say is that a super large guild, say 150-200 I imagine would be easy to get lost in the crowd, but I'm sure that depends on the particular guild. 
 
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
 
- Servers should be separate, PVP/PVE are different play styles and mentality's. Something about server transfers feel dirty to me. I get why they exist, but also see why they should be treated with caution. 
 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
 
- There's plenty of people always on. Most have been extremely helpful, and friendly. Can't really say I dislike anything particular. 
 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
 
- It all comes down to the community. People willing to help rather than belittle, and stand up for when those things do happen.

1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
 
PvE, PvE
 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
I like the ability to switch off a PvP flag when I don't want to PvP. I like the ability to switch it on when I do.
 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
I like most that I choose the encounters that I engage in by being there or not. It's not forced on me by either the game or the other players. I do what I want. I dislike that I have no viable option for using my own playstyle to progress the way that people with other playstyles do.
 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
I'm very fond of the PvP flag that I can toggle off to not participate in it. I dislike the way that world PvP allows fights with enormous disparities between the combatants, both in terms of levels and number of players.
 
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
Mostly I buy housing stuff and crafting stuff. Gear to a lesser degree and mostly for costumes. I would buy more cooking ingredients if they dropped often enough to make cooking worth bothering with. I have bought CREDD, once, about a month into the game. I think I got about 4 plat for it. I was just fine with that. 
 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
I will leave the game before I will switch to a PvP server with no ability to switch off PvP.
 
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?  In response to some questions, I am referring specifically to world content.  20 man world content (Scorchwing, Tree), 5 man content (Nursery questlines, Ely), and solo world content (rare hunting, et al).
Most of my game time when not messing around in housing or RPing is world PvE. I enjoy it a great deal. I participate in 20-man content when I happen to come across it, and group with friends in small teams (generally less than 5 people) when they're around and in the mood to do so. The rest of my PvE time is done solo. I used to do PvP BGs, but at this point they're too unequal and the queues are too long. I don't particularly miss them.
 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
If there's going to be world PvP, I'd want there to be zones that I could avoid or not according to whether I want be involved in PvP. I do not like the idea of nodes within zones, because I don't want to deal with zone chat PvPers trying to recruit help for their PvP.
 
I would be strongly opposed to any open-world PvP objectives that don't feed into the renown system for rewards. Nobody should ever need open-world exclusive rewards to be "incentivized" to participate--it's been tried by a number of games already and it invariably generates more problems than fun.
 
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
I think there needs to be a variety to reflect the variety of preferences. I do not pretend that there's such a thing as a "best size".
 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
... I have a job, so... nothing.  :D Rewards need to actually be something I'd like to get, not a random chance that most likely will be something worth less than a few minutes of farming. And I'm happy to run dailies towards long-term goals, but if I'm going to be working towards something long-term it needs to be something that rewards me just as much as any other player working towards a long-term goal for a comparable level of difficulty and effort. If the game doesn't have a long-term goal for my playstyle that is comparable in difficulty and effort to other playstyles, then it should.
 
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
This question makes no sense to me. What's required is a playerbase that is more interested in having fun together than in screwing each other over. If you have that, guilds aren't necessary at all. If you don't, guilds won't give it to you.
 
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
I think that they shouldn't be required, but given how overstacked the game's emphasis is on raiding and how aggressively the differences between server economies currently are exploited, there's probably no real alternative. I'd rather see cross-server economies than cross-server guilds/circles/visits. I am strongly opposed to a merger of PvE and PvP servers. Those playstyles are almost diametrically opposed in what they're looking for.
 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
It's fine.
 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
A community that respects each other's interests and playstyles is key, as is an appropriate balance of cooperation and competition that encourages rivalry instead of enmity. 	
----
			
1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
     pvp, i would prefer pvp, if it worked like it should, in wildstars case, pve 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
     thought it would be like vanilla and tbc pvp servers(at least while you leveld in tbc) 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
     raids, nothing to dislike really. 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
     spontaneity, that stalker that is only there to kill you while you are at 25% health from doing a quest mob. not that he kills me, that he runs away and i have no means to kill him for jumping me. 
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
     as little as i can honestly, im the type of play that will level every profession so i do not have to buy things off the ah. Dyes, i dont buy them because i either have them or they are not there. i used to play the credd market, buying low selling high, but it got boring. price is fine. 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
     the rest of my guild going with me. 
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?  In response to some questions, I am referring specifically to world content.  20 man world content (Scorchwing, Tree), 5 man content (Nursery questlines, Ely), and solo world content (rare hunting, et al).
     often, all content, variety, 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
     didnt care for wintergrasp, i did however like tol barad(i think that is what it was called) in Cataclysm. halaa and zones like it were a dream that were just not realistic. 
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
     PVE: solo, i participate in all of it when availible, but the 20 man events just feel forced to me, it is stale after the first run through.     PVP: larger scale, organized chaos, anything that will keep it from being one sided. one stalker ganking 1 other person doing dailies is not fun. 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
     costumes and mounts. you dont have to have a pay wall to put this in a game, why cant a game have the same extensive system that a f2p game has with content that can be gained with little effort, i liked blight havens cosume, add more like this, i know with time, but i want it NAO! 
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
     mega sized guilds tend to have the best track record for it. 
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
     combine the servers already nothing of value is gained from the way it is. 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
      the comunity on dominion is pretty neat and fairly active despite the lack of population. the lack of population and the problems that brings like economy and what not. 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?     merge the damn servers, no reason to fragment the community. another option is to make the AH, CX, and the CREDD markets all cross server. then it does not matter what server you are on the economies bleed into one another.

1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
PvE / PvP
 
 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
Economy & population
 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
Dont know really / Dailies I guess, soo boring, but also only wPvE I even do.
 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
Everything / Dont know if there is anything to dislike in it, perhaps the lack of wPvP
 
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
Sign of X's / umm..? / I have bought CREDDs, price atm is ~18plat, I guess its quite fair.
 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
Economy & population
 
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?
Rarely. Dailies & sometimes 20man events, the new one and SW, but as said, rarely :).
 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
When there is someone who "wants" to go for it. Daily areas. Yesa! WoW stylish WG & other PvP areas would be awesome.
 
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
I guess it depents what you are going to do :) For dailies it should be at least 2 to get some influence (PvP guild problems..) / 1-xx, depents if there is even or just some random wPvP.
 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
Umm, wPvP dailies in specific area. Costumes maybe, some title, mount perhaps. Can be just something cosmetic.
 
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
Doesnt matter in wPvX
 
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
It's a good thing / Helps economy I think. Depents are they selling or just chilling there. / You mean if there would come something alike? I guess it would be great. / I would vouch for merge.
 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
Population. Its not great but its decent. / Its PvE
 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
Amount of people

1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
PVE - PVE
 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
hmm duh?
 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
open world events.  When new content hits, areas get overrun
 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
Not much, zero desire to get ganked
 
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have
you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
Buy - Pots, RUne parts
Sell - Wood/Plants
Sold Credd, Right now Credd is undervalued imho
 
 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
One of those fun 'God Mode' GM shirts
 
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?
Few times a week
I like the world events, and I like the idea of large raid groups, bummed that 40man is getting canned.
prefer variety - love the challenges that are scattered about the world, esp some of the wierder ones
 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
NEver
A pvp zone might work, but its tricky to do right
 
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
as many as possible, I want to see an army.  Have been in some Scorchwing kills that must of been over 100 people, and it was friggin awesome
Same, army vs army for pvp.  Would love to see ability for same faction to battle each other
 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
Daily quests with good rewards, fast queues, balanced teams.  1800 geared/rated people should not face folks in PVE duds
 
 
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
50+
 
 
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
I think they should be a micro-transaction to support the game
I think only having a PVE, or only having a PVP is a bad idea.  NEeds to be distinct places.
 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
Since mega server, people people everywhere
Name, how did we get the name of evil incarnate...
 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
Fix the bugs faster, do not release bugs to live, list to testers when they say cupcakes are broken	
----
			
1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
 
PvE, PvE.
 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
 
At launch, I wanted to play on Stormtalon since I knew it'd be the most populated, but my guild at the time rolled on Orias. Bad decision. 
I transfered to Stormtalon after free transfers were introduced and here I am now on Entity after the server merge!
 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
 
Tough question. There are so many things I like! The PvE combat, the teamwork in grouped content, and also the satisfaction from beating a tough prime while solo!
The one thing I dislike most is not being to find groups for zone events during off peak times (which is usually during my prime time 9pm-12am in Japan)... I'm not complaning though, not a lot of people play games at 5am, period. 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
 
Being on a PVE server, I like being able to switch my pvp status on/off, so it still makes PvP events possible (Hopefully we'll have some in the future, I'm sometimes jealous of Warhound ;) )
The only thing that would irk me on a PvP server is being ganked while trying to focus on dailies or questing.  
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
 
I mostly buy runes and materials to craft boosts and medishots. That's about it. 
I would love to be able to sell and buy dyes. (Except the vendor ones of course). It would be a way to get a little extra cash, and there's nothing more annoying than looting a dye on your alt that your main character needs or vice-versa.
I have bought CREDD when it was fairly cheap during the summer (7 plat). I originally planned to support my gametime through CREDD, but I just love being able to purchase cosmetic items, and 15$/month isn't breaking the bank so.. *helloooo strain hoverboard and max mount speed*
I think 10 plat is pretty fair where it's at right now. I don't have any plans on buying or selling CREDD at the moment though. 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
 
Honestly, it wouldn't take much at all. If my guild decided to transfer to a PvP server, I would do it in a heartbeat. If Carbine decided to merge the megaservers and make it a PvP server, well so be it. I can adjust. I would probably avoid doing dailies during peak hours though.  
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything? 
 
I engage in world PVE as often as I can! (Again, sometimes it's hard due to the timezone difference), but I try to complete everything on my two level 50s.
Personally I prefer those big 20-man events, when the entire server gathers... It's pretty badass, albeit chaotic. Having a variety of everything is definitely key to keep it fun, refreshing and preventing burning out.
I'm also somewhat of an achievement-*cupcake* - gold challenges, rares, gotta get 'em all!
 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)? 
Never. But I want to! I'm kind of jealous of all the PvP events on Warhound and wish we had some here on Entity as well. 
The idea of a PvP area or zone would be AWESOME. The only worry I'd have is how they're going to balance the faction population (to assure that both sides are equal in terms of power). (World PvP Warplots? hmm..)
 
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
 
5-man content is obviously the easiest to coordinate.
I wish there were more content or bosses tuned like Elyona: doable with 5-man groups, but can also be completed in a raid. (Maybe even adding bosses that scale to group size could be a good idea, so oceanic players have more chances on doing zone events during off peak hours). 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
 
Shiphands were definitely pretty epic, and I wish there were more at max level with good rewards. For those who may not have the time to run a whole adventure or dungeon (*glares at SSM*), having quick shiphands to do, that scales with the number of people in the group would be quite fun. 
 
I'd also like to see different batches of daily quests available every day to help mix it up a bit and remove some of the mundaneness of dailies. (Kind of like how MoP was)
 
As rewards go, I'm always a fan of cosmetic stuff: I love being able to buy costumes, mounts, mount flair, decor and such after hitting beloved. The addition of AMP/Ability upgrades was also a great idea. People *need* a purpose to grind these factions. 
 11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
 
PvP: The more the merrier. 40+
PvE: I think 25-30 is reasonable. Enough players to fill in any players who may be missing during a raid night, but also small enough that you're not sitting too many people at once.
I personally prefer smaller and tight-knit groups
(I know the question is on world PvE: in that case, bigger guilds may benefit more? Since more people will be running such events and content than a small raiding guild).  
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
 
Server transfers are fine, faction transfers should also be a thing. 
 
Temporary transfers... I definitely don't agree with this one, since that could affect the economy. (Everyone would transfer to another server with cheaper CREDD, return and sell it for higher, etc.)
 
The idea of cross-server guilds and circles feels kind of weird to me. If it worked like in WoW (with cross-servers where if someone joined your group, they would also "join" your server so you could play with them), then maybe.. Maybe it'd be OK, but I'm indifferent. 
 
A PvE-PvP server merge would definitely leave a lot of players angry whether the merged server would be PvE or PvP. 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
 
Like: The community!
Dislike: WHY is nobody doing R-12 at 5am!? ;) 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
 
Definitely the community! You can't have zone-wide events without people gathering and teaming up for them! I think player-created events like ThaydFest are also a great way to unite as a server, meet new friends and have more fun in the game. I'm sure future holiday events will be a blast too, but I'm not mad at Carbine for focusing on other things!

1.  What type of server do you play on?  What type of server would you like to be playing on?
[GF] I have played on both PvE and PvP. I prefer PvP in Wildstar, but dislike it on other MMOs.
 
2.  Why did you choose the server you are playing on?
[GF] Group of RL friends and I select a game and play it every week at a scheduled time. We chose PvE because most of us do not like PvE in MMOs. On the side started up a character on a PvE server and played strictly pBG PvP (Healer). I fell in love with it so I moved my side character over to PvP when I had the option.
 
3.  What do you like best about world PVE?  What do you dislike most about it?
[GF] I mainly played the wordl PvE with my RL group (5 individuals). So what I liked was when were in confined areas with large amounts of critters. This made it more exciting for the group. I also likeed stumbling upon the 5+ man critters. I disliked all challenges and most quests. The quests and challenges really seem to be geared towards solo players. I was constantly competing against my group which in turn made us all slow down a considerable amount. We were constantly having to stop and do quest syncs. The flow of the game just never felt fluid. Challenges were an immediate decline and dismiss. There was no point in doing them with all of us there. 
 
4.  What do you like best about world PVP?  What do you dislike most about it?
[GF] I played one of the Warhound Events in open world the other day and had a great time. It would have been a lot more fun if there was an objective of some type in the zone, but even without it I had a good time (thanks Warhound Events!). I suppose this could have been accomplished just by both sides agreeing that a certain village was the objective and we tried to do a "king of the hill" with it.
 
I haven't found much that I disliked yet. Then again I haven't been ganked yet. :)
 
5.  What do you buy from the AH and CX regularly?  What would you buy from the AH/CX that you can't and why don't you buy it?  Have you bought/sold CREDD and what do you think is a fair price for both buying and selling?
[GF] I don't buy anything regularly. I have not hit 50 on most of my characters (just 1 and I have 5). I would buy cooking mats, but they are way to expensive for the number that you need. I bought CREDD the first month. It felt a little low in price for my tastes, but I wanted the in game money. 
 
6.  What would it take for you to switch to the other server type, if anything at all?
[GF] I have already switched. I now have characters on both PvE and PvP.
 
7.  How often do you engage in world PVE?  Do you prefer 20 man raid content, 5 man party style content, just solo content, or a combination of all of these?  Do you prefer events where you defend areas, assail them, or do you enjoy variety more than anything?  In response to some questions, I am referring specifically to world content.  20 man world content (Scorchwing, Tree), 5 man content (Nursery questlines, Ely), and solo world content (rare hunting, et al).
[GF] I like both solo content and group. However, I prefer to play group with people I know. I get anxiety issues when playing with people I don't know because I do not want to be the one that screws up and gets yelled at. (I cut my MMO teeth in WoW and the people were brutal) I only have 1 character to 50 and he is 100% PvP. I have not done any of the open world bosses or more than 5 people events.
 
8.  How often do you engage in world PVP?  Where do you like to engage in it?  Would you prefer to have an entire area built for world PVP (Wintergrasp style), or to have smaller nodes built into other zones (Halaa style)?
[GF] As often as I can! I engage in world PvP while waiting for queues to pop. I just go out and run the dailies. I don't really care that much about them as I do not raid at this time, but it gives me something to do. Dedicated would PvP would be fine *if* wasn't tied to a PvE boss like Wintergrasp was. I like smaller nodes in zones, but fear that it will be unused after awhile due to lack of people. I can remember zones in WoW that were completely empty and no one to take objectives.
 
9.  What do you think is the best size of group to coordinate for world PVE content?  World PVP?
[GF] As a person who plays world PvE in almost exclusive 5 man I would size the best group size is 1-2 players. This gives you the ability to do the challenges, and not compete against each other with quest objectives. 
 
10.  What PVE and/or PVP concepts would excite you and be entertaining enough to do constantly day in and day out?  What rewards do you think would entice you to complete world content daily?
[GF] For PvE I would say run both adventurs/dungeons as well as low level Group quests (that down level you). The adv/dungeons should be both normal and vet. to encourage people to help newcomers. In GW2 you earned karma. You could spend this karma all over their world. Each zone had themed vendors. I loved this and it encouraged me to run their "events". The ability to buy (with karma) costumes, housing, food stuffs, etc. all over that is themed was fun. 
 
11.  What size guild do you think should be necessary to fuel a world PVE/PVP-centric community?
[GF] No idea. Never belonged to a guild with more than 5 people.
 
12.  What are your feelings regarding server to server transfers?  What are your feelings regarding server to server temporary visitation?  What are your feelings regarding cross-server guilds and circles?  What are your feelings regarding a full merger of PVE and PVP servers?
[GF] I am fine with server-to-server transfers. It is not that hard to level, and most treat it as a race to 50 anyways. So the real fun is at 50 for most people. I like the <50 personally, but hey to each their own. I would love to see cross-server guilds/circles. This will only help things. Cross-server would require temp. visitation IMO. As for merging PvP and PvE....I don't know. I understand it is "just a flag" that you can turn on/off. However, as a PvP person at times I like the thrill of knowing that I could get someone who will hurt me at any minute, and vis-versa I know that I can hurt them. If they merged then I would have to figure out if they are flagged or not, and then be disappointed when they are not. Let's face it most people will NOT be flagged.
 
13.  What do you like best about your current server?  What do you dislike about your current server?
[GF] I play on both servers. On the PvP server there is a group that puts together large world fights. The only thing bad about the PvP server has been the animosity towards the PvE server. I play both, and I would bet a number of people do. There is nothing to really to dislike about the PvE server.
 
14.  Finally, what do you think the key elements of having a good server are in addition to what was discussed above?
[GF] What makes a good server? Population, friendly people, helpful people, and those martyrs who sign up to help with community events. You people are the unsung heroes of the gaming world.
