Well, it seems to me that many PvPers who consider themselves to be “above average” are overestimating their own skills. You’re playing a corrupted build, and using suboptimal equipment, and you still have a fighting chance against your adversaries, so at least you don’t completely suck at fighting. And you’re able to use your wits and creativity to compensate for whatever you lack in motoric skills. It’s much more interesting to see people using their brain to overcome their enemies, rather than just raw skill.
It takes a special kind of crazy to want to create a narrative role-playing experience on a public PvP server. But it’s that kind of context that makes you the protagonist in your stories even when you’re nuking someone else into oblivion, because there’s a purpose to that mass destruction beyond the base (if excusable) desire to crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women.
