Most people did TM/SS for "world pvp" or Cross Roads etc. then world pvp died when battlegrounds were released. You didn't have hordes of people out ganking levellers. Not saying it didn't happen, just no where near the scale on this server.
I also couldn't give a shit about getting ganked (I do find the quitting threads rather pathetic), just discussing it on a forum, sorry if your little kid brain can't register that.
I seem to remember a fair bit of ganking on my retail realm. In fact, I rerolled PVP with a friend to do some ganking ourselves. We used to camp the horde entrance to WPL, back in the day when geared druids could outrun 60% mounts in cat form ... Event had a thread on the official Wow forum one time that complained about our ganking, just like on these forums
.Also, the people QQing on the forums are a vocal minority ...
