Yes. I also say yes for my whole SG. 
@Midnight Havoc @Ice-GX
Yes.
And for anyone who said No in this thread who hasn't even tried it, and/or only has ever gone to PvP zones for badges, and I know you're out there, I am slightly motivated to feel sorry for you and people that know you. Closed-minded viewpoints bring down human society.
since i apparently didnt answer yet, yes, not that liberty has a very active zone pvp community, but when i do i have fun. kid changed his avatar???????
I like PvP, but I don't like the players I generally have to PvP with.
Formerly "Back Alley Brawler"
I could simply say I like PvP, but hmmm... how can I explain this.
I have a kind of love/hate relationship with PvP.
I love it because I find it enjoyable at times when I feel like I just need to kick back and take a break from the actual game itself. Also, it's great fun whenever I just feel like competing.
I hate it, not because of the idea of PvP by itself, but because of it being inserted into this game. Because, since it's here, I am compelled to also try to do my best on it, like I do with everything else in the game.
You see I'm the type of gamer that tends to try to get every content I can as I leveled, get every badge I can, previously I collected the HO's I needed, now its IO's. It's in trying to get everything, see everything, and do everything that I can on my main character that gives me the enjoyment in playing CoH. And since PvP is part of it, I'm always torn between creating a PvE build and a PvP build. I've somehow managed to create a hybrid that works perfectly for me.
But there's always that thought... if PvP didn't exist I could've put more effort into other things, and not have compromised the original build I really wanted for Shadow-Rush. But since I wish to do well in PvP too, I build with both PvE/PvP and concept in mind. Which really took me a loooong while of planning and soul searching, and a few respecs, to do. It's all this trouble and time and effort I've spent that makes a part of me hate PvP. While the other part of me kind of enjoyed thinking of tactics, builds, and strategies.
So there it is, I both hate and love PvP. 
Yes.
If it wasnt for the zone PvP I would have left this game a long, long time ago.
I enjoy PvP among friends, but the general attitude among PvPers in zones leaves something to be desired.
Edited for speeling...
...I forgot what experience means.
Wow. This thread is still alive? I thought it'd have been deleted by now. I may have to go back and tally up again...

That's a good summary of my own perspective.
PvP = great fun.
Many PvP'ers = very fun people.
A Few PvP'ers = so annoying I'd rather avoid PvP entirely than put up with them.

qft
i also love pvp, but not when people act like [censored]. it's okay when you take down someone to kind of feel superior, but you almost never know if it's just some newb or a vet who has never pvp'd before (unless, of course, you've seen them before in a pvp zone), so there's no need to act like a total idiot in pvp.
uhhh, maybe.
If i ever get better at it, might change that to a yes....

Thanks! It's not for everyone.
I know some people really like PvP, and I have no problem with that.
Personally, I don't like it.
What I =do= have a problem with, is the devs' stupid cross-factional purposing of PvP zones, causing needless strife between pure badgers and pure PvPers. Argh.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I *want* to like PvP.

no...........base raids, yes.......other pvp......no
PvP in general? Yes. I'm a former "hardcore PvPer" from other games.
In CoH/V? Wouldn't know. Haven't tried it yet. It's not what I started playing CoH/V for.

*Late to the thread*
Yes and no at the same time.
Why yes?
-It's unpredictable as opposed to fighting NPC's, when most of the time you already know what they will do
-It's fast paced and requires you to think on your feet
-It's fun when you find yourself against an opponent who you find yourself to be evenly matched with
-Unlike other MMORPG's with PvP, there is no real penalty for losing
-The banter is fun, as long as no one takes it TOO seriously
Why no?
-Due to the fact that some builds completely dominate others, which leads others to create only the dominating builds for PvP(like how most stalkers are nothing but Energy Melee)
-People gloat too much about being unbeatable (At least THAT problem is solvable)
-No real reward for it, other than PvPing in Siren's.
-Doesn't get much attention (unless it's Freedom or Virtue)
-Defense based sets are on sub-par performance (Super-Reflexes, even with IO's)

Now you've rednamed it!
Theoretically, yes, I like PvP. What I don't really like is the matchups. There are a lot of people out there with specific PvP builds that are covered in Hami-Os. Fighting them is no fun at all. However, if I'm up against another PvE build, it can be VERY fun!
To make an analogy - I like playing a little flag football now and again. I don't have any fun, though, when you drop pro football players onto the field complete with full pads and helmet.
I see no point to PvP at all in this game other than measuring [Censored]. It's not like WoW where you at least get something for it in the end.

No.
I started playing the game because I enjoyed the cooperative environment. I can't think of anything further from that cooperative enviroment than PvP.
[/ QUOTE ]
That's true. High level Arena teams that practice with each other almost everyday are horribly uncooperative with one another. It's a good thing PvPers are horrible people who only enjoy beating up small children and puppies.

Sure is!
