Is it just me or is Hellfire just a ganker's playground of sadism? I just got there and it seems like every time I turn around there is a group of wrathful 80's massacring every NPC in Honor Hold. Even in questing area's nowhere near the towns 80's rain from the sky and wipe my group in <2 seconds.

Is this my punishment for rolling Alliance?

I finally just gave up and went to Ramps, granted that probably wasn't the easiest place to set up my macros and have my first multiboxing experience, but at least I was dying as a result of my own stupidity and not someone else's.

Anyone else have a similar experience? Does it get better in higher level areas?
