So your selling point on red is:

You will level faster (not classic), and due to this faster group leveling (again not classic), you won't PvP at all.
You're not really having to worry too much about being attacked everywhere you go. It will happen, but not much. Letting you get established on the server. The real PvP begins at 56
You have to avoid certain zones (some of the most iconic dungeons) because twinked PKers and their level 60 healer friends will run you off.
Not really... the twinked PKers aren't ever around for very long. I've had a couple groups disrupted but it's not like the zone is unusable for hours at a time. It's usually like a 20 minute disruption

So you're encouraging them to come over, not PvP, just because of faster leveling. Oh and by the way you can't enjoy certain zones leveling up because of neckbeards.
Encouraging you to come over and see that it's not as bad as people say. You spit out a bunch of vitriol over something you've not actually experienced. I used to be as much of a red hater as anyone and then I gave it a try.

I dunno, on blue stuff generally is localized and drama isn't aired in public channels. On red though, you see all sorts of racial and homophobic slurs in general channels.
/OOC is half the fun of Red, to be honest. Derupal and Sirkdawg have been cracking down and handing out suspensions for people crapping up the channel.

It's pretty clear why red population has and always will be terrible. Even with the high end game being the way it is on this server. It's vastly superior to a PvP server with broken exp, item loot, item recharging, OOC and all sorts of other things.
Ultimately, open world PvP does not appeal to as wide of a base. Some people can't handle the pressure, but it's a shame that people like you go all sperglord over threads that are no different than the hourly 'What race/class should I play?' 'Where is a good place to farm?' ect.. threads

Edit: Ya know what drove me to red? Literally 4 weeks camping Staff of the Dreaded Gaze, just to have some ogre shaman get one because they already held the camp when I logged in that morning.
