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.

As someone who has only played a total of an hour or so on a PvP server, I can speak to the impressions that you are talking about.
As a person with limited time, even hearing just a few stories about 'having to get a raid group to turn in quests' have made me not even consider a PvP server.
Do I feel like I'm missing out? Sure, sometimes. I've had exactly one PvP encounter (I'm level 36), and it was really quite fun.
So I do feel like I'm missing out sometimes. But the horror stories make me hesitate enough. We'll see if battlegrounds are enough or if someday I'll make the jump.
