The Poll says it all.

I was thinking of suggesting a change to DTV:

NO GOLD earned and NO REPAIRS as well as a possible minor XP boost, but I'll wait with that until I get a feel for why others play DTV.

As you can figure out I, as a big Altoholic(25 or 26 alts total, cba to count them), play DTV to level up before joining EU1 or EU2 for late 20's.

So my top three reasons(in order) would be:
For the XP
To get a feel for my equipment
For the company/teamwork

Shitty desk with limited space for mouse movement makes fighting human players frustrating.

Also, too much ranged to have fun without a shield.

I would change poll to allow multiple selections.

I play for gold/xp and when there are not players in the others servers (so for company).

None of your options. I don't care about xp since I will not reach higher levels any time soon, got all the gold and looms I ever wanted, company/teamwork, are you seriously fucking kidding me? The closest thing to teamwork is blocking an entrance with shields and two mindless overhead spammers, i pity the fool who calls that teamwork, and I have been the same build with same items for a long time.
Honestly, I play it because I rage in EU1/2 too much, and smashing bots is more fun than getting smashed by players, especially when half the time I cannot see their swings before they already hit me.
Also what Austrian said

Solo DTV offers the best multiple-opponent chambering practice.

Gold and a break from pvp, even though sometimes the bots do more bullshit things then actual players.

Thanks for the replies, I edited the poll and you are free to change your votes.

It is limited to one vote because I wanted to force you(and myself) to choose the main reason.

No excuses man!

That is all I got to work with, can still PvP well enough. There is about 1 inch to spare on either side with the mouse centered. Two-thirds of that space is taken up by my hand.  :?


Anyways, I used to play DTV so I could take a break from the "rigorous" PvP experience by slaughtering bots mindlessly whilst in great company. Now that the entire NA DTV crew has moved on (think you can guess why), myself included, I don't play it at all anymore. Maybe I will leech in it for half an hour, one hour tops every other month or so.
