I'm playing Bloons Monkey City in pacifist mode. I'm level 18 in my primary city.
I'd like to understand the rewards for PvP. The main point of PvP seems to be attacking people to try to steal their money, but since they're doing the same to you it seems like no net gain in money.
I've heard there are experience rewards for defending in PvP. Can I leave pacifist mode and then just sit in my city defending against attacks? If I have 0 honor, will all the attacks be easy to defend against? Is that a good source of experience?
Is there any other way to get a net gain of resources from participating in PvP?

In the mobile version at least, MvM is an excellent way to make Bloonstones. The first attack per day earns you 5 stones, and subsequent attacks give you 3. There's also a 2 stone bonus for attacks you send that win (or are ignored by the enemy).
I rarely if ever defend against attacks, and it seems like a good 90%+ of other players ignore them as well. In the mobile version, there's no XP gain for winning, it's just cash, honor, and Bloontonium, which refills automatically. The only reason I care about honor is for achievements.
Cash win/loss wise, I've got so much cash that I don't even pay attention to it. My capacity is around 200k gold, and I have 1.8m. Aside from retrying boss fights, there's nothing to spend it on. I believe in general if I attack as often as my Bloontonium is full, I'll end up profiting.
Honor-wise, staying at low honor will probably end up pitting you against weaker opponents, although I think I generally gain honor by attacking as often as I can and losing every attack. Currently I'm at around 10k honor from this strategy. The losses are so slight compared to the gains that it's hard to stay low.
