It's gonna be enormously irritating to be at a level where you can only attack someone up to two levels below you, but can be attacked by someone eight levels above you.
Personally, I just think PvP should start at level 6. There's no reason whatsoever to throw level 2-5s into PvP, it can by definition not result in anything but griefing because classes do not have the capacity to have meaningful PvP that early. All you'll get is a) characters with no investment at all randomly ganking eachother while trying to get the first few levels and b) level 12 mages camping the newbie gardens. You have practically no spells or skills that early, and you have so few HP you can be 3-shotted with a rusty scythe.

Anyone who's irritated that they can't gank low levels should level up imo.
Having pvp before level 6 is a great way to teach newbies that making friends is often more beneficial than making enemies. Those people within 2 levels fighting one another would probably be better off grouping and exping. And level 6 takes a little while, it's unfair to deny them the pvp experience just because you want to level without mages owning you. There's nothing quite like pitiful level 2 pvp lol.
Oooh, another idea! What if for the first 10 or 20 levels, those characters use the VZ or TZ (not VZTZ) ruleset? Elves can't attack elves, shorts can't attack shorts and so on. This would be even better imo. Let them feel somewhat safe with their own kind for a short while, so they can make some friends before being thrown into FFA. They could still group/guild with other teams without issue, and at a certain level (I like 20) they go real FFA. This will encourage the higher level (for newbie zones) players to assist their team against the higher levels from other teams griefing, and the 8 level limit won't need to be lowered to stop 2s from being ganked.

4 levels until 50, 8 levels 51+? I still think it should be 4 levels with a modification for out of range healers/buffers (bard songs too) becoming in range for assisting.

4 levels is too small. There's a bigger range of people you exp with than that. 8 worked fine on live, what's the problem?
