I would of thought you'd just get destroyed by higher level guys straight up?
Well, you won't get destroyed in non-contested territory. So, you'll be about level 15-18 or so before you move on to a contested territory. And really, any place until level 30 you won't find many people killing you. When it really gets bad is level 30, at least for alliance, when you go to Arathi Highlands or Strangethorn Vale. Horde are everywhere and will kill you on sight. Once you get to around 38 or so though, you don't get killed as much, instead, you do the killing. That's when it gets really fun. On my level 42 hunter, nobody really attacks me, and if they do, I kick their ass

So...yeah...once you're high level and on a PvP server, you'll understand.
