Ehh, just deal with it really. Everybody gets ganked, and occasionally corpse camped by the opposing faction from time to time while levelling.
One thing I have noticed, months since I turned 60 and can now see more clearly who is doing what, is that there are chiefly 2 kinds of gankers:
1) the level 60 baddy in crappy gear who parades himself in lowbie areas, systematically camping people 20 or more levels below him. I had the chance to run into a trio of these in Redridge. Result? I killed 1 of them 1v3, and when a priest came, we killed the 3 of them 2v3.
2) The PvP players ganking in downtime from bgs or when the bonus honor from weekend isn't up yet. This is usually in high level areas only though, so you'll mostly run into their teams around Blackrock Mountain, or perhaps Winterspring. Back when they were still married, it wasn't uncommon to see Jarek and Leoy running around the Steppes and by Morgan's Vigil killing everyone on sight.
The rest of the players will just gank once or so passing by. Me, unless I'm in a bad mood I don't gank gray characters. Being honorless and super weak means it's hardly worth dismounting to begin with. 50s and 60s are however always a good target for me, provided i see myself having a good shot ofc.
Obviously if you're in a dreary mood... misery loves company.
