I'm currently a Level 44 human mage and so far it really wasn't too bad, especially in STV. Sure, if you come close to Grom'Gol or Nesingwarys camp you will get killed every now and then by a ?? horde player, big whoop. Deal with it, just respawn and go somewhere else and come back. But a lot of the horde players, that are on the same level are actually quite nice. I came across a lot of horde players in STV and I'd say not even 30% of them were hostile. Maybe its because I'm a mage and people don't wanna mess with me (even though I'm still a PVP scrub, lol) but often we'd even help each other out.
Most of the time when someone decided to attack me it was usually fair game - rogues attacking me while I fight a mob, Warlocks dotting me while regging - whatever, its annoying but its part of the game. Sometimes you get jumped by 2 or 3 Players, still - its annoying, but it happens, I've did it myself, its part of the game.
What I did experience was a lot of griefing. Tagging Mobs that I planned to kill and then run away or sheep them or fear them or whatever. I had groups of ?? following me, not attacking me, but just preventing me from progressing. Killing NPCs I had to talk to, making sure I couldn't kill Mobs. I had people constantly killing the 3 pirate captains in STV just so I couldn't kill them. When I left (back when I didn't have a Mount) they usually just followed me and I couldn't really outrun them. Now that I got a mount its gotten better.
Long Story short - some shit is really annoying and frustrating, but its part of the game and we have to deal with it. Now I don't know how bad it really is in the Level 50+ areas like Searing Gorge or Un'goro. If it really is as bad as people make it I don't know how I'm going to deal with it. I'd just AOE grind the last 10 Levels, but since the population on this server is so damn high I probably can't do that. But don't give up and start rolling horde, that will only make it worse. I bet when AV gets released it will get better, but who knows when that might be.
Edit: Okay, just read the text: Is there a slang for horde players? It sounds really dumb to say "horde players" all the time, lol. I know there is one in german and I bet there is one in english.
Edit 2: This was just my experience. I bet that the alliance is griefing people too, not implying that only horde is doing that.
