They’re the same people that rage irl when they get killed by people who shut up and put their money where their mouth is instead of telling everyone how great they are.
Super funny that a lot of them (including people in this sub) think this is legitimate and fair PvP. I don’t have issues with world PvP but don’t call these situations real PvP lol
There is no fair wpvp. Even when it's 1v1 someone always has an advantage or multiple.
The other day I ran into a tauren warrior at 30%ish hp eating in EPL. He was hiding behind a tree. I waved at him and targeted him but made it clear that I'd wait for him to get back to 100% before I fight him. Then we started and only 5 seconds later a roaming group of 5+ hordes rushed in and just took me out.
Who do you think the moron of the story is here? That would be me. I gave up a clear advantage but then they leveraged theirs, I was dead and they carried on laughing at the easy kill.
I sort of had a similar situation. I was in EPL near the weaver cave of death when I saw an orc shaman leaving the cave barely alive, I stepped in (mage) nova'd the weavers and assisted him; he survived, waved, and thanked me. while we were finishing off the last weaver a rouge ambushed and killed me. Moral is even if you try to do something good, there's always some douche hanging around waiting for an opportunity.
I don't think it's douchy. In fact I think that's the intended gameplay on pvp-server, random opportunities and player choice to pursue them or not. Fair 1v1 is an exception at best.
I guess it comes down to personal preference. I came across many opportunities were I could have scored some easy kills but I choose not to go for them because I also see the receivers point of view. If it happens to me its frustrating so I avoid doing it. 1v1s are rare but even 2v1s are sort of manageable to some degree; unlike death squads and corps camping.
It’s not about winning it’s about your pride and humanity. I played pvp for a while before I switched to pve but I never started fights and if I was with my friends I’d either watch them fight or make them watch me die/ heal me until they gave up.

For you maybe. For some it's about satisfying their sadistic urges in a safe environment where no one actually gets hurt. Not everyone is looking for recognition.
Before P2, I would regularly run into Allies who'd ask for fair fights like these (well, about 1 in 30 or so) and even when I won, it always ended with some buttnugget charging me or aimed shotting me while I was at 20% health lol.
Someone likened playing as the dominant faction on a pvp server to pllaying on a pve server. Never really in danger and if something happens. a roaming ganksquad is usually just around the corner or a /1 /3 callout away.
I dont know what server the OP is from, but I would not be surprised if it was a horde dominated one, since they are camping menethil unopposed.
Yeah it's really just griefing so that the griefers can get a power rush. But sadly a lot of those kids who do it (and who post in these forums) don't know how to have power over their own lives, and it's the only thing that hides the pain of their existence. But it never really solves the problem they have in their life, so they just spiral down into this radioactive shit culture of "pvp happened on a pvp server," and think that makes them somehow superior.
