FFA will rule pvp.

[Otukura]

My understanding of it is, as PvP got older, more egos developed. People would get butthurt over someone else killing them in a regular match. Their pride couldn't take the hit, so they challenged the person to 1v1 to prove their "superiority". The game would come to a halt, or they would create another match (and others would follow to watch). From there, it just evolved into every game being a 1v1 style unless someone stated otherwise. Nice to see STS is setting the tone by releasing CTF first, should influence more people to accept the kill-everything-in-sight style.

My understanding was that everyone but you was below me and wouldn't accept it until I wrecked them in a 1v1. Others took my example.
