I treat both school and business as PVE, not PVP. (Gamer to human translation: the environment is the adversary to win over, not the other players.) There's a reason my dashboards always show my historical sales stats, not my competitor's sales stats. Beating my old score is a win. Beating their scores is not.
An environment where many people were aiming to cause losses would be very unattractive to me, even if it could offer me all the tea in China.
