Endgame PVE?

Does it exist in War? If so, how challenging is it? Is it rewarding?

It exists for sure, from what I understand you need to PvP to get to it, but I don't know anymore than that.

prepared to be told "if you want PVE go play WOW ... this is a PVP game" by the mindless masses of WAR fanboys.
there is armor progression and high end dungeon conquests but the only thing you can consider a raid is the endgame king fight. other than that pretty much any PQ can be looked at as a raid.
I enjoy PVP...I lived in 0.0 in Eve but ended up quitting recently basically because there was no PVE content or progression to keep me occupied between pvp battles. I quit WoW because the endgame PVE was too easy, and I quit EQ1 because the damn game sucked out my soul :P
It's a given the PVP is going to be great in WAR, I just want know if there is something meaningful to do with 5...10...20 other people in my guild when I get off work at the end of the day.
Edit: Having recently quit Eve, I am looking for a new MMO and it looks like I've narrowed it down to Vanguard or WAR. I don't have the cash to buy both, so help me make the right decision here guys
Go play WoW, this is a PvP game.
That aside.
Many of us are sick of raiding as a general game mechanic (I'm also sick of jumping as a mechanic, jumping over lava, snakes, acid, whatever), I don't want "pve end game" because that always means "raiding", which isn't fun and isn't rewarding. I don't understand people who think fighting 4 hour fights (which you repeat, weekly, ad nausium) is fun. I don't think people fully appreciate just how casual friendly pvp is. If you are good, in theory, you don't need to spend as much time pvping to advance. In pve, its some sort of great communist equalizer. No matter how good you are, you will not advance one iota faster than anyone else. You simply punch in, punch out, collect pellet. Honestly, outside of Eve, not a single MMO made has a good pve end game (trade routes, market manipulation, manufacturing, logistics, mining (moon and roids), ransom, blackmail, exploration, salvaging).
yes once u capture the city 3 dungeons open up ...aka raids???
Hehe when you said no game had good end game PvE and mentioned EvE my gutt reaction told me you were gonna start talking about ratting and missions... lol
WAR surprising does have it all. PVE is not as prevalent as seen in WoW, but it is still there and I'm sure they will be adding more. In terms of rewards, none of us know that at this point and if we did we couldn't say much about it. Be advised they have always stated that there is some high tier PvE in the game.
I found a great article that talks about WAR PVE. Open world dungeons like EQ/DAOC...awesome.

so far in tier 3 (since tier 4 is not open to CE testers) there is ALOT of PVE and you can avoid the PvP, but can you?
no honestly.
(the game tricks you into pvp/rvr really and it tricks you back into pve, my girlfriend did a rvr scenario because it was in a quest and did not releize it was pvp *WAR is going to be her first MMO actual*)
