Same here, but it's more of a matter of dealing with backstabbing bastards IRL enough that I want to get away from it in the game.  I do enjoy some PvP occasionally, but I don't want it a constant.  I don't like it in D&D where things aren't balanced for D&D, and I don't like it in online gaming either, where some people simply get off to constantly defeating other people (and online also has the added irritation of some of these people having very fast hardware/connection/whatever that gives them better reaction time)Same here.  I'm kind of a stingy cheap-ass so I don't like the idea of my stuff getting ruined, but it's still rude to damage another person's property.</blockquote>
