It's a true test of skill against thinking, unpredictable opponents, and a welcome breath of fresh air after hours of questing and grinding. But I don't recommend it on PvP servers - the "courageous" people there are 90% gankers or zergs. At least on PvE you can have some control over what kind of situations you get yourself into, and then get out of them once you've had enough.
Yah, see what I mean? 90% gankers and zergs is just a silly figure. Will you get ganked here and there? sure will, but it's by no means 90% of the population doing it, it's feel like less than 10% on Tich, but I'm gonna try to avoid making up statistics, esp. on something subjective :P. Characterizing that as pretty much the only PvP that goes on (or even the majority) is just plain wrong.
Like I said, there's no convincing people in these conversations, and I totally understand only wanting PvP on your own terms when you want it. I just wish people wouldn't resort to hyberbole like the above to make the PvP servers seem so much worse than they actually are. You're giving an inaccurate impression to people who might be trying to figure out what server to play on.
