PvP

[Treesh]

I'd suggest you try PvP in your thirties and forties before your sixties; to me, that was (by far) the most fun I've ever had in WoW.  Arathi Highlands was basically one huge battleground with several groups of 30's and 40's killing each other.  Stromgarde was even better :)

Before the honor system was put into place, I was having a lot of fun PvPing on the PvE servers and I still have no character at level 60. I greatly enjoyed defending my territory, even when I died in the attempt. Even a level 12 priest of mine would help defend and even got some kills (I was the only one who DoTed the rogue). My shaman (37 at the time) managed to help take out 5 alliance with only three of us shaman defending (one of the other shaman was 60). It was great! I loved it! Then the honor system without battlegrounds got rolled out.

Now that the honor system is in place, my shaman gets raped as soon as I'm flagged. She's 43. The attackers are generally 50s and above. There are almost never fewer than 10 trying to attack now and there aren't enough horde around to defend. I get flagged and poor Mogo is taking a dirt nap less than 5 seconds later simply because she gets swarmed by all those 50 and 60 characters after whoever I attacked yells out. It used to be great fun when there were more even fights. I still would die if alone, but that's really to be expected. Now it's just an exercise in frustration unless you are one of the faction that is zerging the place. PvP servers may be a world of difference since you aren't starved for PvP action, but the PvE servers are just an absolute hassle. My poor horde characters haven't been played now for a while simply because of the frustration. The lowbies just get swarmed and die if I try to fight, the mid-level ones get swarmed and die and I have no high level horde. It's not fun to be constantly outnumbered and that's really the issue with the honor system - unbalanced pops on the PvE servers.
