Question About Stealth.

So, my friend keeps telling me that stealth works differently on the PvP server, than it does on the PvE server. Basically that mobs have a higher chance to detect you. I've done solo runs such as last boss SM for Enchanting Shards, or Solo Diremaul book runs on the PvE server.
He refuses to do such runs because "His stealth gets seen, even by low level mobs" Does anyone know is there really is a bugged differences on both servers? Thanks!
