Just started playing a few weeks ago on a PvP server with some friends
and
Tauren Mill is often a war zone (last week it seemed like there was an
Alliance raid every night) but a lot of times it's pretty easy to quest
in Ashenvale or Stonetalon. Sometimes there's Alliance camping at spots
they know they'll find lower Horde to gank, but most of the time you
can
go run all over without running into a single Ally.

Actually a lot of the time it seems like really high level players are
the ones who live and let live, it's people at or just above your level
who're most likely to gank on sight.

peep peep!
