How is the Open PVP on your server?

Was just wondering how the open pvp is like on other servers. I am on tearfall and I have been in droughtlands (lvl 40 + contested zone for defiant/guardian) for the whole weekend. In the earlier levels it seemed like the typical kill on site ganking thing, which i am perfectly OK with (coming from AoC), but somehow nowadays people are really friendly with each other. A lot of the other people i have met in the other faction have been fairly nice, sometimes waving to me or having some small conversation. Just last night my party and I actually took turns with a party from the other faction waiting for a quest boss to spawn and chatted a little bit while we waited.
Its really odd having this mentality in an open pvp area because you kinda let your guard down a little bit. However, there have also been a fair amount of griefing. there are the typical asshat rogues that will do nothing but kill people at 1/4 health while they are fighting a monster. yesterday I was so angry at this rogue who repeatedly attempted to gank me while i was hunting quests mobs that I spawncamped him and dry humped his dead body while insulting his family.
Most memorable games: AoC(Tryanny PvP), RIFT, GW, GW2, Ragnarok Online, Aion, FFXI, FFXIV, Secret World, League of Legends (Silver II rank)

Most people actually hate ganking. Also we are all sort of leveling on our own time and a lot of people will not even bother you.
I have been ganked a ton as a Guardian. If I go south in Scarlet Gorge or Scarwood Reach I am guaranteed to get ganked or pvp'd solo.
We did have a huge pvp fight over an invasion boss on Faemist. It was a dps race while trying to KS the Defiants that showed up.
Hit and miss tbh.
Some days we have enjoyable fights, get a few lucky 1v1's and 2v2's, but normally it's a population farm fest outnumbered 3 or 4 to 1.
This is the problem with open world pvp in 2-faction system, he who has the most peeps normally wins.
This is also why i inevitably go back to instanced pvp, at least the numbers are equal.
Expresso gave me a Hearthstone beta key.....I'm so happy
