Personally I’m a big fan of the definition laid out by the contemporary Dracvladian school of player interaction. “PvP” specifically means any combat engagement between mutually-consenting combatants in a sanctioned area of space (e.g. null-sec). Anything outside of this purview is relegated to the concept of non-sanctioned “PK” (player-killer/ing) niche grief-play.
