I don't gank lower levels unless it's in Northrend when I'm Herbing.....my roomie says I can get a little "possesive" of a zone while I'm herbing, usually gets me camped by someone Guild but that's usually because I'll kill the player, collect herb, follow them to next herb, kill them again, herb, rinse repeat. LoL yeah fun times.

The ultimate truth is, "Because they can."

I for one, do not like pvp, never have, never will, but i find it really pathetically lame to kill another player that has less chance to fight back then a snowball has in hell.
People say, they love the challenge of games, that if its too easy, its boring and if its too hard, its crap, they claim to want a challenge for a game to be good, then why kill a player that provides no challenge?
Surely, it can't be for fun and if its just for payback, then you really need to grow up.

Ok ok, i've read almost everything from start, till page 8.
1st. Stop going off topic.
2nd. I've read sooo many different answers including respect for other players, being an !@#$%^& camping a <insert opposite faction> character, not letting someone else play their game etc.
Well, i got to to respond to that, even if I am going off topic. The answer to all those "whiners" you call them, is that they are actually right that they don't want to get ganged all the time. That is why they chose the correct type of a realm to play on. If that is false, then WE (gang lovers) got the right to force them quite. Am I telling something wrong or misjudging anything here?
After all, this place is no place for someone not having fun. If you are not having fun playing YOUR game, then it is YOUR responsibility to adjust, or do something about it (i.e. reroll on a PVE/RP server). By no means is the ganker's disrespect for YOU able to spoil your game. Adjust, or move on. Eitherway i will go on doing what i like. Today is you, tomorrow is another character.
As you can see, i love to use the word "character". That is all we see before our eyes, right? I don't see a caucasian middle aged man in the eyes of a NE druid. I just see his choice and taste. Be ready to see mine too though, even if this is dancing with you naked, or kill the @#$% out of you.
Well, as YOU got the right to play, i got that right too. You see, our society has this rules.
My grandma once said to me: Do not worry about things you can change, or things you cannot. You can either fix the problem, or whatever you do, never make up for it.
If you are annoyed by getting killed almost all the time/camped/./spit on or w/e, just improve and kill that guy, or just reroll, and live in peace. Simple enough?
And yes, i got no respect for anyone taking a decision and whine about it right after. It is as you say "childish".
oh, btw, i got really no sympathy for illetarature people either. Learn to read the f.ing realm rules, and decide wether you like to join or not. Either way, if you get to a PvP realm, you will gank and get ganked alike. No way of stopping, jungle law :)
Well, i am really sorry if you got bored reading this, as i repeat some other people's sayings.
Slay them all!
Leave in piece, whiners...

First of all, don't whine about being ganked on a PvP server. That is basically the only difference between PvP and normal. If you want to play on that server, there is going to be ganking.
Personally, I don't go out of my way to gank just for the satisfaction of ganking. However, if someone crosses my path and they're my level, they're dead. If someone crosses my path and they're a lowbie, they are subject to my mood. Sometimes I'll gank them, sometimes I'll leave them be, and sometimes I'll harass them with earthbind and hex. I never camp though. I find it a waste of my time.
By the way, if you find yourself being camped for hours, you need to get some skills. It doesn't take much to get away from a ganker or even a group of gankers. Just don't respawn right on top of your corpse and you have a good chance of getting away eventually.

Though I respect your attitude I have to ask: how is getting killed by a char 10+ levels above you without even the
chance
to fight back and getting the whole /spit /lol /guffaw bull&*!@ in any way "fighting" ?
I wouldn't mind open pvp if it actually
was
"player versus player" rather than "player versus ... ah, the graveyard again, didn't even see it coming".
And to answer the original question:
In Germany there's a saying that goes:
"Why does the dog lick it's balls ? Because it can"
And that's why people gank - because they CAN ...
/edit
Ah, Kyojen pointed this out before, I apologise

A good reason not to Gank is because this game's popularity and the continued development that goes into it depends exclusively on the enjoyment of it by players and the continuous introduction of new players to it. So if you think it's more fun to gank and turn off noobs to it keep in mind that your next expansion depends on those noobs you are targeting.
