Expo and Vyr are prime examples of players who made pvp great in their time, among others too numerous to list.
Unfortunately those qualities are rarely seen now that being good in pvp is mostly about who is at the top of the wealth gap, and who has the least scruples about killing someone who is unprepared just to add to the notches on their bedpost, as it were. But then I guess that's what PvP has become, which is why a lot of the old pvp generation left.
I think just randomly saying "best of all time" leaves it way too open. It could easily mean those who are best at kill farming, dummy farming, spawning, ganging and other unsavory practices. It is all in perception.
