PvP is a sport. A test of who's the best. No one gives a damn about the non-human advantages you have. The 'graft' part a sport is honing your skills and being beaten by people because they outplay you and you must learn from that. It's called and equal playing field. The only sport I can think of where the non-human aspect is part of the sport is motor-racing. But the battle of innovation between team engineers IS the human aspect, which is why it still hits the right buttons.
Grinding gear or talents is completely different to honing your skills. One is through an equal playing field, the other is not.
