I almost deleted my blue chars to play on Red.

That almost sucked.
Iactually started playing on red really frequently, about 7-8 months ago. It was really cool at first. Fast XP, people giving out free loot all over the place.. Really seemed alright. Got to 51 on my druid in no time and realized what a mistake I made, began seeing what a bunch of shitbags the FFA pvp element attracts and have since deleted the lv51 druid and gone back to blue. It became readily apparent that the 2-400 plat worth of coin/items people like to give out to newbies really isn't worth it when you consider the endless hours of grief you are setting yourself up for.
Thoise individuals aren't giving you gear becuase they're nice, they're trying to convince you to stay so they can log into their in range characters and kill you once you start getting into UNrest/Mistmoore range and so on, so forth.
I literally spent 90% of my time Watching timers of/reapplying and medding for Buffs so I'd have some sort of an advantage against all the assholes in full best-in-slot while naked on the third/fourth consecutive corpse run (CR 3-4 taking place before I ever finished CR1. This is a special breed of neckbeard, they care only for Yellow Text, they dont care if you're naked, oom or at 10% HP when approached). Even something as painstakingly mindnumbing as the ORDER in which your buffs are applied is crucial because if SoW is first on your list it's the first to be dispelled, whereas if that shitty buff you get and dont really use is first.. well, you get it.
PNP is a joke, LNS does nothing but shaft you; the population is so low that if you get pk'd in the zone you intend to group in and you then have to call LNS to avoid harassment, you've effectively killed what is likely your only chance for solid group xp. ANd the four level level range cap while intended to help really only hinders.
Can't tell you how many times I've been ina group of genuine new people, when some asshole in a FUNGI comes up and starts pwning on the only person who is in range. This could be remedied if they added flagging whereby say healing the target off the assailant, or just by casting a nuke on someone higher level than yourself you would be able to join the fight, but ass is it is just a shitty broken clusterfuck.
Not just any clusterfuck though, a clusterfuck of neckbeards too quick quick to laugh at the bluebies lusting over pixels, though none will ever admit they are playing the same game for the same reason, they just like the feeling of being tougher than somebody else they get by being able to take fight in virtual fistfights.
