Not everyone is a try hard though.

A lot of people just like to be silly and mess around, or do PvP because they'd rather get their ass kicked by an actual player rather than winning over some dumb AI.

Considering your PvP experience, you should give the less PvP heavy areas a try. The Forest is easily THE worst area to use to judge the game's PvP.
