I never had the connection to pvp when I started, so I learned how to steal, and actually go pretty good at it. Never did learn how to fight others, the only time I killed an attended character (plenty of non-attended kills) was with my disarm thief...would steal all of their weapons and then their regs, band aids and pots. Some people just had too big an ego to lose to a thief, so they stuck around until I hit them with a poison and they realized I had taken everything that would cure them...la
