You still think this isn't an oppinion? It is. You asked for oppinions, you have answers, and you don't accept them.
I'm sorry, your opinion is false.

The OP uses ridiculous logic, and then proceeds to scream it louder in the inane belief that by saying it repeatedly someone might actually agree with him. I guess if you scream loud enough you will find another moron screaming too. Let's make it simple and easy for him.
1. PvP implies some form of combat thus the form of versus. It's not PvP if you simply kill something that can't actually hit you.
2. You are essentially PvEing because the lvl 15 has as much chance of hitting you as a lvl 15 innkeeper in goldshire. There is no versus involved, because he has no chance nor an inclination to verse you.
3. I occassionally ride through a lower lvl area and kill someone and mount up and ride away. That's ganking, doing it for 2 hours in the same area is camping and griefing and not ganking. Ganking is attacking an unsuspecting player. Griefing and Ganking are doing it to the same guy over and over again over a span of time where he has virtually no ability to respond. You are not pvping you are simply a tool with too much time on your hand.
4. Your concept of going on a rampage and griefing someone is ridiculous to the point of idiocy. Spending 2 hours in Redridge killing anything red essentially means you killed the same 2-4 players over 10 times a piece. Rarely is there more than 5 people ever in Redridge mountains, and that's during peak times. 2 hours in Redridge! that's not just stupid that had to be boringly stupid!
5. People play on a pvp server to actually fight people in a world fight or to be careful about a horde coming up to kill you. That's fine, but not having a chance and being killed repeatedly by someone you have no chance of killing isn't pvp it's called camping and I am sorry but there isn't a camping server out there. In fact, the main reason they gave twinks their own BG brackets was to eliminate them from BG's because they were essentially doing what you were doing at lower lvls. Blizzard stated numerous times that just because there wasn't a rule against it doesn't mean it's right to do.
Finally, I have a 3 year old nephew, and he routinely enjoys walking up and just hitting me as hard as he can. According to your logic, I have the full right to haul off and slug him as hard as I can because he picked the fight. Heck if you pick a fight you should be able to take the punch back. I am 31 years old, and not only does he not even hurt me, half the time I don't know he hit me till he jumps on my back. Your logic says that I should not only be able to punch him back, but be able to pound him every time I see him because hey, he swung first.
Granted you won't understand a bit of this, and generally you are the type of player that screams at me to heal him as he runs into a group of horde. "I can do a lot of things, but I can't protect you from your own stupidity."

Guys in Vanilla Wow (the good old days) you could fight people up to 7levels higher than you and
EVERYONE had a corresponding class they just couldn't beat
unless very lucky. (remember vanilla)
It was good cheesy fantasy mmorpg.
But now we level like 6xfaster than the original game, so gathering full sets of gear is near impossible even at 30-40. (you always have outdated boots or something) So killing someone 7lvl higher is near impossible,
world pvp can no longer be fair unless they're almost exactly the same level as you now...
World pvp is now and will forever more be unfair...SO ENJOY YOUR GANKING,
GANKING IS FOREVER!
AND ITS FUN TO KNOW THAT SOMEWHERE YOUR'VE REALLY MESSED SOMEONE UP(Which is the real reward form ganking)
Thoughts?
Weak Troll Attempt - No thought put into the actual comment especially the rather weak ending.

I dunno if this has been said already or not, but the OP is just making me /facepalm over and over...
The only reason I would play on a PVP server is to pvp against people my OWN LEVEL IN THE ZONES MADE FOR CHARACTERS AT MY LEVEL.
If a level 80 came and 1 shotted me once, I'd say to myself "Meh, he's just passing through and couldn't resist, I've had the same urge." Twice, I'd figure "Maybe he was goin for the explorer achievement." Three times, and I'd file a harrassment ticket.
OP you said that you spent
hours
going through redridge for the explorer acheivement. Redridge takes about a half hour MAX to completely explore on an epic mount. If it takes you more than ONE hour, then you're either going out of your way to gank lowbies, or typing a thesis on nanotechnology to your guild.
I know this has already been said, but if you're ganking lowbies, you're just a $%^&*!bag. If you kill one once, maybe twice, meh, that's acceptable. But redridge is such a small zone that if you were ganking lowbies for HOURS then youmust have ganked several lowbies repeatedly.
Your first argument was an over-exagerrated claim that PVP isn't meant to be fair in world PVP. Oh, really? Then why do players so low below your level have a grey colored level in their portrait? If you've levelled to 80 you MUST know what a grey level means.
Your second argument was that the horde are enemies of the alliance, and therefore deserve to be killed on sight. Then someoen mentions a treaty, and you say, in essence, I don't care. There goes your lore argument.
Frankly, your argument is that since you can, you should. I could go rape and murder little children in africa with a $200 plane ticket and a $500 gun. Does that mean I should? No, it doesn't.
And herein lies the problem. You get satisfaction from killing people that stand no chance against you, from taking advantage of Blizzard's need to please people like you.
In real life if you harrassed a person, making it difficult for them to go about there business, you would have a restraining order put on you. However, Blizzard needs to please people in order to make money.
So, if you gank lowbies, you are amused. You keep payin 15$ a month. Then when someoen reports you for harrassment, you get banned, and that player is happy. Then you go back to ganking lowbies, and so the cycle repeats.
All in all, you, plain and simple, are just a !@#$!#$^^&bag taking advantage of game mechanics, as you have said. People don't roll on PVP servers to get 1 shotted before they can even have a chance to run.
Oh, and don't say you were exploring and didn't repeatedly gank the same person over and over, I answered that near the beginning of my post. Read it over again if you try and use any of your arguments from page 3 of this thread or before, as I have countered them.
Anyway, it's like 5:30AM where I am and I have been up all night, so my spelling might be horrible, but I'm fairly certain it is legible. If not, the you shouldn't be on an english speaking website.

ganking is not pvp at all. you #$%^& and moan that players wanna level in peace. well let me tel you this.
you don't get anything out of killing someone 50 levels below you. whats funnier is that you do this. i find people that do this, only do it because they cant pvp in rbgs or bgs. so they need to pick on the defensless.
the very definition of pvp is players attacking each other. if you 1 shot a guy how is that classified as pvp. he didn't even stand a chance.

I gank and I will tell you why I do it. Because it pisses off the other person. End of story. Ganking is like a right of passage. I was ganked many many many times. So in return when I hit 90.. I waited a bit. Geared up well. then I did the ganking. Because Payback is a pain isn't it? Doesn't mean Im not good at killing someone my level...
I have had numerous 90's show up to defend the "Lil guy" and I kicked their asses, so Im living proof of the whole argument of "It means you can't kill anyone your level so your ganking lowbies."
I do it because it is fun.. its funny, and I laugh while repeatedly ganking someone. Because I know its pissing them off. They don't like it... well
REROLL TO PVE SERVER.. thats what its there for.

So you got lucky because someone forgot to get pvp gear?
You make me sick, ganking is removing the skill from the equation. Your victim mentality, sadism, revenge obession all show signs of psychopathy and in a real world, you would have been placed into an asylum, but since you somehow limit it to a game, you get off scot-free.
