I call it PvP, one of the horrendously necessary evils to get 100 mounts.
I transferred from a PvP server to Terenas because I was so tired of getting run up by ~20 alliance while just trying to do quest. On Bloodscalp, the single best Battleground during TBC was the Isle of Quel'Danas. The battles hit their peak about 4pm EST, and lasted until 2AM at the very least. There was no possibility of doing Daily Quests there, and the honor was better than any BG you could grind.
By 5pm EST, there were AT LEAST 2 raids of players on both sides mowing down anyone and everyone that was in there way.
It was a real stumbling block for those who started late and needed a daily quest hub like that to try and get gold for things like.... Flight. Not Epic flight, normal good old fashioned Flight. I eventually gave up and am personally responsible for the deaths of thousands of Clefthoof and Netherdrake in an effort to skin my way to flight for my Paladin.
I'm more worried about this side of things with the new Tol Barad. I am hoping that by avoiding as much of the pvp in Tol barad as possible I can still hit exalted quickly enough to make good use of the faction vendors wares.
