The problem is you start thinking, hmm, most of the stats on blue are basically worthless. A bunch of stats have no value on blue, and same thing with alot of gear. All you do on blue is auto attack trivial content. All of the kunark and velious raids were cleared on day 1. So you are now level 60, and you're raiding, and you realize half the items and stats dont matter, and theres nothing to do with the gear you do get. The guild you're in isn't going to actually need the items to progress, most guilds could do any of the content if they had the chance.

so on red, atleast you get to use the items you spent hours grinding for. playing with 100 people on a pvp server is still infinitely more fun than blue, imo
I played PVP on Everquest literally for years, went to EQ2 played PVP, went to WAR played PVP, I have always been a PVP player.

I 100% understand your sentiment regarding gears and how you build your character much like one would a race car, trying to maximize it best to win more races. that aspect is really fun on MMOs, but only when you have enough players to PVP with.

You have to have a decent, healthy population for ANY PVP game to thrive. Period. When past PVP games lost population on a server, the server died.

Plain and simple, you need PEOPLE to succeed on a PVP server. RED does not offer that, my man.
