Wow this thread blew up, wasn't really expecting that lol.
To try to respond to everybody in a general manner - FYI, I wasn't sending people tells bitching at them to leave the camp. I was literally sending tells along the lines of "hey mate! any chance you might be able to move into BB and hunt there? I'm just level 6 so these entryway gnolls are the best xp". Hardly sounding rude or pushy at all.
I understand Gnoll Fangs are great xp, but I just feel it's a bit ridiculous for people to not be courteous/cognizant of the leveling pecking order in a noobie grinding zone. I literally never had this problem on any server I played on back in the day. I remember back in Classic, if I ran up to a camp that was my level and a high-level toon was camping it for drops they simply concede the camp to me because they knew I could actually get XP from it, you know, like it was designed.
All that being said, I did take some of the suggestions here and I rolled an Iksar Necromancer. It's much better not having to depend on the courtesy of others to level on this server (for me). I also have experimented with making a character on Red, and while I thought it would be therapeutic to attack the people I think are rude, I've found that Red has a pretty big twink culture that I don't think I can compete with.
Also, I learned something today about how to properly petition GMs, so thanks for that.
oh, and PPS - I've bumped into Bahkrel around Freeport a few times since then on some of my alts. I always make a point to stop and /rude him a few times so he knows how I feel before going on my merry way
