Only they should realize on red there are no camp checks, most zones are for the taking. Get a group and go do what you like when you want wherever you want, If someone is in your way you kill them or run them off.
You raise some solid points in your post.
But this paragraph you start off with just misses the point of why I never made the switch. (I tried twice... got to level 19 at launch, and got another character to 50 about a year later).

It's not all about loot for me!
I don't give a shit if I can get full VP gear in 2 weeks. I play on Blue because my buddys are here. We've gone on crazy adventures, we've poopsocked for hours, we've gotten first kills together (god those first-time guild boss encounters with your newly formed ((or newly-able)) guild are sweet), we've gone PH after PH with no named spawn, we've died and we've rezzed, we've gone out of our way at 4 in the morning to get a corpse back, even though nobody wanted to do it. Some of us have been playing together for 3-4 years now...

Even though I barely play any more, I always run into old friends I can have meaningful conversations with any time I log in. Kinda like you just got back to your old neighborhood bar that your hometown friends still visit.

It's a great feeling that Red will never match.
