This is actually really well put.
I can't speak for others but I do love pvp and when I get ganked while leveling, it has almost always been at low hp and/or someone much higher level. I don't fight back, just stand there till I can res and continue on my peaceful way. And when I gank others? Exactly the same. People don't even try most of the time because there's very little point in most cases.
I skipped most of S2 but I'm quite interested in how S3 will be. Mythic dungeons sounds like a really cool feature to have in Wotlk.
