Yep. While I don't think most players would care about that 75gp ring the rogue randomly decided to pick pocket from the snooty noble, grabbing a ring of protection from a felled opponent before anyone else can call dibs or even discuss it is taking an unfair share. That's definitely not playing well with others. The "it's what my character would do" generally shreds like paper in those situations.
As a DM, these days I'd generally intervene with a few words about treasure division. When I was younger, I'd probably have ensured something terrible happened to the offending PC in short order.

PvP is not only about combat, it's going against other players. I do not believe that players who decided to rule against attacking each other with merrily accept being robbed, they are both hostile acts which cause a player's loss, and can easily lead to erosion of trust, dominance (one PC will always be better that the others at doing that) and vengeance.
