I think OP's 'game' of choice would be 'visual novels'. I suggest trying those.

Whether or not the original devs wanted this game to be PvP or PvE centric(or an equal split of both) it doesn't matter. It turned out that the PvP was much more entertaining to most than another flavor of WoW PvE. As a result the majority of the people on this emulator prioritize RvR. If this was a democracy then PvE would be thrown under the bus in favor of getting RvR finished. Lucky for you, its not and the devs are working on both. I'd be happy with what I'm getting if I enjoyed PvE... but most PvErs have a certain sense of entitlement with a big mouth to match that doesn't usually pan out well for the PvPers in mmorpgs.

Definitely. Things I keep hearing and that I heard that are basically U-238 grade toxicity mostly came from PvP-ers. Could be a nasty coincidence, but it's there.

edit: are you daft? I am not looking for Spehs Mehrines, but for WHFB. There is more than enough 40k out there currently.

What Ryan said was true and, frankly, quite observable by playing the game: T1 PvE was HUGE but it dwindled to the T4 size. The RvR is opposite. But how would port -> follow zerg sheeples know that. But I would. Because I used to lead the whole Order efforts in T 1 / 2 on K.Norn. Why? Because I was brave enough to try something I don't generally like(PvP). And it was quite fun because there was quite some cooperation(what I'm looking for) maybe it even trumped the competition(blergh useless term for me). I know. And I saw the number of exploiters / twinks(Spartanish the yellow chosen and his purple Ast...something purple blackguard bootlick). So don't think that you are talking to an uninformed person. See, I revel in possessing intel. It just feels pleasurable to me-like a proxy towards experiences I don't necessarily seek / couldn't live through.
You come off as extremely sanctimonious, maybe it's the high elf avatar.

The starting zones for elf and dwarf thrust you into the PvE experience and do it very well. Empire and Chaos has always been about political intrigue/corruption and is thus less flashy. It's much easier for players to stay invested in the questing in the other zones. There is also some cutscenes in the game, maybe it's possible to script more in?

Audio work and cut scenes are the spice of gaming, don't add to much but added well brings an amazing experience.
Nothing's coincidental ;)

also: what cutscenes?

I do not recall any cut scenes in this game. Just the opening cinematic.
