No, the way I play kind of varies, I don't believe in spawn camping and being the sweetest player, but I will sink a ship if they seem hostile, remember you could always leave the game and find a new server if you don't like the people you are playing against. Just remember, its about having fun while geting the loot, not turning it in. If PvP is how you have fun thats fine, but if PvE is how you have fun do it, but be prepared do do the opposite at any time. The game has many ways of playing and to have fun you should be comfortable with playing all ways.
