"Converted."

Normal is the way to go with Wow. No idiots ganking you, no "ffs, here we go again" moments.

At the moment, I have nothing to fear as my main focus is on my level 20 Hunter.

However, I may keep him in limbo for now and make a new guy on Thunderhorn or whatever it's called.

I don't know just yet though :S

So is the general thought around here now that PvE is a more fun way to experience the game? (from a questing without getting killed by rival players perspective)
I've got to lvl 28 (or 29) and have generally tried to quest in Alliance territory as much as possible so far, but as I've read a few times, as you level up a bit higher you have to venture out further into either contested or Horde controlled areas, in which you will no doubt run into more and more ganking gangs.

Even questing around Ashenvale made me edgy, as you tend to get quite a few Horde creeping up north and slaughtering any lone quester they see (and I do tend to prefer questing alone).

So would PvE be a better option for a mostly lone quester who wants to enjoy the game without playing with an edgy fear that around any corner or further up any path, a big gang of raiding foes will kill you?

It seems a shame to start all over again, but thinking about the long term, PvE sounds better for a lone quester who doesn't want to get killed by a load of 13 year old Germans.
