I wasn't specifically implying PvP is bad in itself. I was replying to
the assertion "PvP brings out the best in people" by showing it also
brings out the worst possible behaviours.
There's also anothe assertion in the same post I didn't reply to, it
was that PvP was rewarding because "it puts you against people that
are as smart or smarter than you are".
As many people know, the smarts of the typical player in a game world
is inversely proportional to the player base size... :)
