In regards to pvp in classic WoW, when I was playing it a few years ago on a pvp server, everyone seemed to have a live and let live attitude. Everyone was so focused on getting to max level as fast as possible, I would say 90% of people didn’t want to pvp. I was in that category, I was never super into low level pvp, I wanted to rush to max level and get into a raid guild, get raid geared strictly to be able to kill players with better, and then do solo BG’s to pvp. So for me it was rush to raid gear to be able to kill players with, that was my focus
So the way I did it was to feel out the alliance around me when leveling. I would sorta hover around one and not pull any mobs (in case they did try to kill me I planned to fight back and didn’t want to have a mob on me) keeping myself in view to see their reaction. Sometimes I’d walk up and /wave. Generally if it was a lone alli around my lev, they didn’t want any trouble. A /wave back meant we’re cool, then sometimes they’d even help out with adds or what not. The problem came when it was a group of alli, numbers gave them confidence and made them more aggressive, generally I would avoid trying to exp solo around groups of alli
There were roving tanks squads but as a hunter I avoided them by always keeping a sharp on eye on track humanoids. I could see them farther away than they could see me, and could turn on cheetah and stay out of their view for hours and hours. I remember hearing about them killing every horde in the zone, but they never got me. And these were alli 20+ levels higher, so it wasn’t worthwhile to try to group up with other horde to take them out, it was too large a level disadvantage, better to just avoid them
I think I died to players maybe like 4 times total from levels 1-60. I only killed a handful of alli as well, and it was almost always because they wanted the same mining node as me. That was something I would fight to the death over, I’m getting that node over your dead body
Low level pvp really isn’t all that great in WoW, certain classes unlock certain clutch talents and get insane power spikes, and it’s frustrating to be getting killed by sweaties who are 20+ levels higher, I recommend just keeping your nose to the grindstone, rushing to max lev and good gear, then setting up as fair of fights as you can in world pvp or doing BG’s. I was never someone to kill people who were low on health or had a mob on them. I would let them kill the mob and get to full health before I engaged, and still sometimes these pussies wouldn’t fight back. That always baffled me
