Maybe you're playing the wrong damned game. If *all* you want to do is fight, then why play a ROLE PLAYING game in the first place? Get yourself a first person shooter and go play with the other hypertestosteroned kiddies who fear for the loss of their e-peen. Leave the balanced, mature people with imagination the hell alone.

I'm sorry, but I did not and do not play World of Warcraft to RP as some silly little elf so I can cyber with another silly little elf in the Deeprun Tram.
I played it and play it because I want to be an Orc killing Humans, Dwarves, and other Alliance scum. I have played Orc since the first Warcraft game, and I will continue to do so if there are other Warcraft games after this one.
Know why I rolled on a PvP server? To kill Alliance scum. Is that not roleplaying enough for you? Well then I guess it's a good thing that I'm not on a server that requires it, huh?
Yeah, there's more than just PvP to WoW - PvE can be a fun diversion, you get to meet some really cool people and some total jerks, and some of the questlines have a pretty good plot to them. But I play for the PvP, just like you apparently play for the roleplaying opportunities.
I do play first-person shooters extensively, and I'm afraid that the majority of the playerbase for the ones I play are largely over 21 (myself included) and are probably more mature than you'd like to stereotype us as.

This sums it up for my first toon to 60, as well as my second. Because those toons were both made before the advent of the honor system, the only reason to PvP was for the sheer fun of it. I still remember those times as the most fun in WoW, though current-day WoW is still enjoyable enough to keep me playing six nights out of seven.

I'm sincerely hoping all PvPers who play WoW only to PvP move to those tournement servers I keep hearing about. At least that'll keep them out of our hair.
Why in the world would you roll on a PvP server and expect people wouldn't gank you? Even moreso on an RP server, where players have the added incentive of being able to roleplay hating your race or faction so much that they'd do anything kill them or die trying? You think that, because it's an RP server, orcs and humans are suddenly gonna get over their differences, inherent distrust, and outright hate of each other and make love instead of war?
What about blood elves, who were discriminated against by the humans and are distant cousins of the night elves? You think they're gonna give some random human the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their intentions?
What about the the Silverwing elves and the Warsong orcs in Warsong Gulch (ignore the flags, please)? The Defilers and League of Arathor in Arathi Basin? The Stormpike dwarves invading the Frostwolf Clan's territory in Alterac Valley?
If anything, you're more likely to be ganked and camped on an RP-PvP server than a regular one.
