PvP is more about preparation and being opportunist. You rarely get a fair fight, but I do admit I creamed many Empire noobs geared to the teeth with my 400 ping to the point of salty tears and petitionquest.

These forums also have long term side effects. The amount of self back padding leads to chronic elbow fatigue (CEB). Be advised.
