New player interested in PVE
I am interested in casual PVE and am thinking of starting a character on the TBC server. Previously I tried to level a warlock on Icecrown and was put off by the prevalence of ganking. I am all for BGs but hate wasting time getting killed over and over again in open world while trying to complete quests. How “bad” is this behavior on Outland? I was thinking of rolling Alliance but question whether negative experiences with world PvP would be less if I went Horde (due to what appears to be a faction imbalance).
Also how well are warlocks and mages coded? Are there any significant bugs that affect the comparative performance of these classes that I ought to be aware of?
Thanks in advance for your input.
