🚀 go-pugleaf

OK, i have a 60 hunter, 60 priest and various level 20 to 40 alts on Arathor 
(all alliance), a PVE server and I'm a bit bored.

So I started on a PVP server with some friends on the horde side (Al'Akir) 
as a Shaman (ok, considered by many as the 'easy' option but it's the only 
class I've yet to really play) and up to level 20, absolutely no problem.

However, i did my first few quests in contested areas (running to Tarren 
Mill for totem quest and then a few quests in Ashenvale) and I was ganked 4 
times straight by level 60 chars (2 rogues, a mage and a druid).  Now, don't 
get me wrong - I'm not crying about it, I knew this was likely to happen 
even before starting on a pvp server - but what I want to know is just how 
hard is levelling on a PVP server in these contested areas compared to 
levelling on a pve server?  Am I likely to be spend more time walking back 
from graveyards than actually trying to level or are there periods when you 
can actually do the quests without fear of being 1-shot by a passing 
alliance?

TIA
