Realistic FTW. Sworn enemies=Kill on Sight. I tried playing pve, boring. Getting ganked for 79 levels allows you to really hat ethe other faction.

Well, if always looking over your shoulder isn't a thrill you like, you should stick with PvE. For some people, it enhances the gaming experience. Different strokes for different folks.

Ive played both pvp and pve servers, and heres what Ive found. In a PvP server, the PvP is rarely fair. 90% of the fights I got into on a PvP server the enemy was a combination of: several levels above me (almost always red or skull), outnumbering me, staying away from me until I was in combat with multiple mobs, or on low health/mana as a result of pve combat. It was also frustrating when it would take 2 hours to do dailies that could take me 35 min otherwise because that particular toon has only a PvE set and I die before the stuns end. Very rarely did I ever enter a fair fight - most enemies ran from a fair fight or if they lost they'd bring back reinforcements. PvP servers became more about taking the cheap shots as you saw them and griefing the other faction, rather than actual PvP.
On the other hand, controlled PvP - such as BGs, wintergrasp, arena, and duels; they're set up to avoid those unbalances. And they can be done on a PvE server. Granted, its not always fair - such as an EotS starting 15-6. But in general, instanced PvP is set up like all PvE is - you know what you're getting into, you don't end up at level 49 going up against 3 80's (yes, I've been camped by multiple skulls before), and losing actually feels like losing instead of "ok, I'm getting camped, time to afk and watch some tv until they get bored."

in pvp servers nobody rolls a class that is weaker than others in pvp.almost everyone is a paladin or dk.
and in pvp servers,the class distribution is:
Paladin:%25
DK:%25
Rogue:%25
Mage,Warrior,Warlock,Druid,Priest,Hunter:%24.99
Shaman:%0.1

Its the exact reason you dislike PvP servers that people do. Personally I enjoy the thrill of potential world pvp combat. I have characters on both PvE and PvP servers, and i definitely enjoyed leveling on the PvP server more cause its more challenging/exciting.

After playing on PvP servers for so long i don't think i could face the sheer boredom of leveling no a PvE server. I prefer the PvP side of all games it's just the best bit.

lolwat? Have you ever actually played on a PvP realm?
When you see a paladin from the opposing faction mining your node...
...you want to kill him.
This. Also, lorewise, if I'm an orc and a gnome runs by I want to be able to crush him. No "bur I got blue name" for me. :P I know getting ganked by a skull can be a pain, but it's quite rare. (depends on realm I think)
