I hate getting ganked as much as the next guy but really? Don't say you love world pvp if you are wanting to take away unfair advantage.

World PvP starts when people get unfairly ganked. This pushes people to call in other high levels to help. This is how those epic Tarren Mill/Southshore battles started, from a gank.

These " epic " battles started , because there wasn't another place with closer graveyards or battlegrounds for that matter . The moment battlegrounds came to live , noone ever went there and it became a ghost town for ever .

It didnt die off until TBC for Arthas and Illidan US on retail. We had VERY different communities apparently.

@Knetik

Dying off and being very lively are two different things. I'd love some proof that post BGs wPvP was still doing big business because I don't see any reason why it would be outside of people who like to gank rather than more organized PvP. Which seems like a minority of a server's playerbase.

Your statement is almost 100% accurate. The final sentence is completely false. On the 3 Servers I had characters on the battles between Southshore and Tarren Mill went on well after TBC launch and some could still happen during WoTLK. The community is often what dictates stuff like that. All 3 servers were PvE (normal)/RP servers as well. Battlegrounds filtered world PvP out but ultimately didn't kill it. Hell, even the Corssroads still had high level Alliance causing trouble.
When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire.
