THAT is why you need PvP servers. He nailed it. Who was that guy that said that, anyway?
I remember back in my Rallos days, we ran around constantly /guildstatting people in the zone who were anonymous to check if they were in known PK guilds. And also, when meditating between fights, sitting in areas that allowed for an easy escape. You just can't get that experience with consensual carebear pvp.

Rallos Zek was the bluebiest of all the red servers. The gigantic guild on Rallos enforced a 'no-pvp' policy. When the PVP servers were merged, the big guild on Rallos that enforced a non-PVP atmosphere tried to parlay with the big guilds from other servers. That parlay didn't go as planned and that big Rallos guild was pked into oblivion.

Guild Wars 2 plays nothing like WoW or EQ.
