I played on a blue server on live till Kunark... my buddies and I went to pick up Kunark at the game store and the two guys behind the counters started talking about playing to Tallon Zek and how PvP was so much better. They made it sound so great that we all agreed to try it.
I don't remember much about the early days, though I do remember a specific few "gankers" who farmed noob areas. The funny thing is that a good player will eventually outlevel and outplay those scrubs. If you need to vastly outgear and outlevel your opponent to win, it probably says something about your level of skill tbh.
I cant add much to this, aside from saying that the mentality between the players is different.
If you just want to go through content and do it without added risk, you probably wouldn't understand pvp. But if you enjoy conquest, triumph, defending your camp, taking someone elses camp, escaping the perfect ambush, then pvp brings so much more guts and glory.
