It'd be far more accurate to say something like "come play on Red: our lines aren't as long as Blue's, but it will take you even longer to get loot when someone else kills you".

There's just no way around it: in that scenario you are more likely to be the person getting killed than the person doing the killing, because by definition any new Red players are going to have way less gear and PK-ing skill than long-time Red players.

No it would not be more accurate to say that. PvP pretty much doesn't exist until level 60 where it is primarily guild vs guild thing and even then it isn't as common as most think.

Red just doesn't have waiting lines like there are on blue. There is no mob spawn variance of what +/- 12 hours? No FTE, poopsocking, force spawn rotations, raid suspensions, camp checks, etc.

Most of the content is uncamped 24/7 and a good deal of it is just waiting around for players to kill it on their own schedule. That goes for pretty much everything on the server including about 50+% of the raid content, high value quests/group encounters, epic mobs which often go unkilled for longer than their respawn cycles.

I've even found stormfeather flying around an empty zone more than a few times.

Not to say that Red doens't have its own problems, but certainly not waiting lines or getting gear.
