Your personal rules of random PVP?

Another good viewpoint which exemplifies the difference includes this quote:

Many of the members of HAVOC are not interested in XP, infact, many of us are trying as hard as possible NOT to gain XP to avoid jumping into the next Battleground level range. So, when we are waiting for a place in a BG we will often go to enemy territory and look for PvP. Often we go as small groups, looking for other groups to fight or maybe even single targets of a significantly higher level. Just the other night, a group of four rogues from HAVOC (lvl 25, 35, 36 and 49) spent a couple of hours standing at the gates of Minithil Habour, we killed anyone who tried to leave or enter the city. Sometimes this was level 30 characters, sometimes it was level 60 characters; after a couple of hours of this finally a group of 8-10 level 60 alliance rode out of the city and completely destroyed us. It was on the whole great fun.

Now, this was fun BECAUSE we were working as a group. I sometimes go and hunt alone (the other night I spent a couple of hours on the alliance ship sailing from Minithil – killing anyone who boarded it)… but generally speaking it’s a lot more fun working as a group. Now, we can either just sit around and hope that an evenly matched opposing group show up and fight us… or we can cause a little havoc and attract a little attention and ensure that eventually we get a good group fight going. We do this in many parts of the world; Hillsbrad

It seems to me that this is the playstyle that pvp server game mechanics should support while hassle-free mob killing is the playstyle that pve servers should support. Just as griefing people who are doing pve is inappropriate on a pve server, whining reporting or naming and shaming pvpers who are doing pvp on a pvp server is equally inappropriate
