"CvC" is cute, but PvP is a wider term that is used across multiple games and genres to refer to a specific activity. The questionable psychological impact of trying to use an alternate term is not worth the potential confusion when writing rules or discussing topics. PvP is a much more intuitive term for most gamers simply because of its ubiquity in the hobby.

We could always put a little blurb about it in our rules, once they get reformed. "While it is called PvP due to the broad nature of online games, it may be beneficial to think of it as 'CvC', character vs character, on Amia."

I'd never expect people to change their nomenclature. It would just get bulky and confusing. Reminding people that you're fighting the character and not the player should be enough, rather than trying to adapt a new term that empirically will mean the same thing for a lot of us.

That's not helpful. At all.

And you are grossly incorrect on your assumptions, on both sides of the coin.

Given the climate currently, things can be taken wrongly. ON top of that, I believe you've lamented about 'munchkin builds' enough to warrant the belief you were being serious.

You have a large enough chip on your shoulder as it relates to PvP that you should take care of your words as you come off, often, as a toxic personality.

And the term 'munchkin' is rather demeaning, if we are to be honest.

And, as someone who has been on all four sides of the PvP equation, you are still incorrect.
