Personally i play on Kazzak Eu wich is a pvp server but is actually pretty hardcore in pve aswell as both Forte and Last Resort had theyr homes here earlier but luckly they migrated with all the fanboys! Ganking is rare but world pvp happen alot and from what i learned from gankers is to just dont react when you know you will lose.

When you see a guy on epic mount running towards you and aparently plans to attack dont run if you know you cant get away, its actually faster just to corpse run in most cases. And belive me its totaly boring to kill someone who just stands there like a npc.. The zone has to be extremley empty to entertain a guy to corpse camp someone who just resses anyway.

When your ganked take a trip to the toilet make some snack and something to drink then 99% of the gankers are gone if you havent done anything against them.

However if you go totaly emo spitting on them and try running you entertain them because people like that find it fun. Relogging to your main brings and comming to STV is exactly what they want because most of thoose guys loves world pvp, fair or not WTF pvp is rarley fair even on 70...

Preparing is in 90% of the cases if you will win or lose, personally i always have a healthpot ready and i will keep NS for elites and pvp encounters. The chance of winning is high in most cases as good pvpers rarley attack someone they KNOW for 100% they will win and bad pvpers attack people they think they can beat.(However they are in most cases VERY wrong)

had 3 pvp encounters on my way to 35 so far but i been instancing alot:

First i was 21 at the hillsbrad farms and a 29 hunter came from behinde but i doubt he could see that i was 5 because he seemed pretty shocked when i turned around and took 50% of his health with a shock. Second was a ?? warlock also at the farms who came up from behinde and started using rain of fire wich ended in a epic fight were i lost two and he died. Last encounter i had was a 30 warrior who ganked another guy while i came from behinde and went down with a earthshock.

Best part of wow is to down someone who attacks you on unfair odds.
