Maybe the people that played in Vanilla when world PvP was actually a thing played on RP or PvE servers, but griefing was definitely NOT a ban able offense on retail Vanilla.

There is no way this should be bannable. If this is disrupting your questing, go somewhere else. You normally have around 3 different zones at any given level.
1) This isn't retail
2) Yes, it is bannable on retail if extensive enough.
Whenever there's a way for players to resolve a situation themselves we prefer to not get involved. On a PvE realm it's opt-in, so if you get killed you essentially asked for it. If you're playing on a PvP realm you opted-in permanently, so again you essentially said that being attacked unexpectedly is okay.
It's a two way street - if you want the possibility of PvP then you have to accept that you may get 'ganked' now and then. If it's not working out for you, the only option is to move to a PvE realm or to hide in the capital cities.
That said, we don't abide is players deliberately trying to ruin the enjoyment of others; it is a game after all. If someone made it their mission to constantly kill another player (e.g., following them around and killing them whenever they're online, day after day, over a long period time), that could make it extremely difficult for the victim to play.
At that point it stops being PvP and becomes harassment. We'd want to hear about it and would, at the very least, look into the matter.
Hope that helps.
If someone is specifically targeting a player over a long period of time, we may look into the matter and it is possible that we would take action based on the situation. In most situations though, where a PvP solution does exist, we generally do not become involved.
If it has been going on for days though, feel free to submit a ticket and a Game Master can take a look.
