PVP = player vs player. Player vs player is any competition between players. This is not exclusive to ship vs ship combat, but literally any competition between players, and like it or not, the moment you use the market, generate isk, or mine resources, you are competing with other players in this game.
PVP isn’t just fighting other players in ships. It just stands for ‘player vs player’. Something as seemingly mundane as running a level 1 mission generates 100k isk or something and by virtue of increasing the supply of isk in the game by 100k, you have devalued it for everyone. That’s PVP. If you want your isk to be worth something, you don’t run missions, you get it from players. You blow up their ships, loot their wrecks, and sell their shiny modules on the market. If you want to crash the price of a resource, you go mine a shittonne of it, and put it all on the market at once, saturating the supply. That’s PVP.
And even if all you want to do is make a little money for yourself selling veldspar in Jita, you have, by virtue of increasing the supply of veldspar for everyone, engaged in PVP.
Those are the facts.
Your ignorance of them is your own personal ignorance, not an argument.
And your (non) answer is not an argument against anything that I just posted. Your denial is not my problem. To be honest, the only evidence one needs to see what makes this a PVP game is this:
All of those mined resources, modules looted in missions, they all go onto those ships. Those ships get exploded, and their owners need new ones to do more PVP. PVE and PVP are so deeply intertwined in this game that, and I’ll say this once more and I’ll try to keep it simple for the simple minded,
Do you understand what “incorporated back in to the games economy” actually means? Asking because the moment you use it just for yourself is the moment you have not used market for something and that act alone already has impact on the games economy.
All activities in EVE are as much ‘against the environment’ as they are against other players. That’s why the PVE and PVP in EVE are not mutually exclusive, but are in fact the same thing.
