are players reluctant to PK a much lower lever player?

Does killing set off local defense alarms? Sometimes people are just
headed to a dungeon or attempting to do something else and do not want
Local Defense: XXX is Under Attack! going up.

GOOD RP or BAD idea, chose yourself
If i find a lowlv ally attacking me in HIS territory, praise the gods
if i don't 1shot him... if i walk in enemy territory is only 'cuz i
need it, not 2 find lowlv... leave enemy alone, if not flagged 4 pvp,
is better (if u r on RP server, or u WANT 2 play full RP is all good)

Take a trip to Ashenvale or Darkshore, there are plenty of hordes there
that are more than happy to grief low level players.

I guess I should have mentioned that I am on a PVP server...

Sometimes it's just fun riding around Alliance territory for a change
of scenery. Stormwind is lovely this time of year and as an Orc
sometimes you get some lvl 10 Alliance pounding their fist on the front
hood of your mount just to be a dick. You try your best to ignore him,
but eventually you lose your patience and lodge your Unstoppable Force
in his skull. Of course the authorities won't listen to your side of
the story, so you make for the gate. You don't want to look too
suspcious though, so you cheer at everyone in the Trade District on the
way out. Unfortunately you still get some rude gestures and some shots
fired in your direction. Must be the ghetto part of Stormwind. Anyway,
that is why we need to show some tolerance for our fellow Azerothians,
people!

Not in my experience.

On the other hand, some PVP players do live for this, and of course
those are the ones you are likely to meet, because they are actively
looking for you.

Redridge is another good spot.

Southshore, Alterac, and Arathi are good ganking places, too.

I had mixed results at Scarlet Monastery. I was assisted by a high-level
Horde against an NPC, and assisted another. But I was also ganked several
times while there.

If you get ganked, use the local defense channel and give good directions
to the exact location so that the Horde hunters in the area can efficiently
move to counter-attack. As soon as I get ganked I get on the LD channel
with a location, before I start my corpse run. There are often friendly
60's there waiting for me when I respawn.

Only killing NPCs, or setting off guards. A player kill in an isolated
area sets off no alarms. More likely, the enemy player assumed the attacker
was either making a mistake or was mentally disturbed. *

He no doubt found the encounter mildly amusing, like a hummingbird
trying to kill an elephant.

In contested territory, I'll usually let the lower level alliance folks go
about their business, if they're low enough that I'd by ?? and there's no
honor involved. However, in Horde territory, I'll usually kill anyone I see
(maybe it's the RPer in me, but they are invading my territory).

However, there's a good chance I'm in the minority- in my lower levels, I've
been smacked down in one hit by more Alliance folks than I can count, and I
know some of the guys I play with frequently head to low-level contested
zones that tend to favor alliance just to gank the noobs.

Greif? Like as in killing you? On a PvP realm? Perhaps you misunderstood
what it means to be on a PvP realm and should consider rerolling on a blue
server.

The enemy is out to kill you, to steal your farms, burn your wife and rape
your livestock. Give no quarter, and expect none. Having any other
expectations will just frustrate you on a PvP server.

True, that's why I left PvP and entered RP-PvP. It's easy to play
mindless foot soldier.

For me, I'm enjoyed playing the student of Bushido. I don't waste time
on inferior (grey) oppenent and I'm always honor my opponent (salute my
defeated opponent).

Hmmm, my next char in RP-PvP would be a rogue who modeled after Crying
Freeman that she would strip down naked when fighting and cry after
killing them. Yup, She better twinked out her daggers and get used to
lots n lots n lots of corpse run.
