How to be a PVP asshole outside the battlegrounds

Oh, sure, it's easy to be a total ass in the battlegrounds. Call people n00bs, try to cap towers or flags by yourself, blame whatever group you're not in if you're doing poorly, cast Misdirect on the clothies and shoot Vann (I swear this wasn't me; some troll hunter from Kel'Thuzad lost us an AV match by doing this repeatedly once).

But it's more of a challenge to be a total jerk outside of the battlegrounds. Aside from riding through Stranglethorn Vale at 70 ganking lowbies, what is there to do?

A lot, it turns out.

1. Don't underestimate the Isle of Gank'Danas. Look beyond the simple art of forming six-man death squads and ganking around the Wretched. There is so much more you can do. Do you have a ranged weapon? Try standing at the edge of the guards' range, attacking a hunter or warlock in hopes that they have their pet/minion on defensive, then run like hell (or hit Vanish). No range? Try standing inside a quest giver. Or have your guildies port your level one alt to the Isle and run around attacking people in town, in hopes that they will respond out of habit.

2. Lose with style at Halaa. You know those huge cliffs that really suck when you get feared off the edge? Why wait to get feared? When your health is at 5 percent or so and there are no heals coming, jump off the cliffs. You still die, but you rob your opponent of that Halaa battle token. Sweet! (To the Alliance warrior I was fighting at Halaa earlier today, should you ever read this: I actually did back off the cliff accidentally, and was trying to fly back up when you dropped on my head and killed me. Sorry!)

3. Use contested territory to your advantage. This one also requires range; hang out near some mobs that are friendly to you in a contested zone. The Theramore sentries in Dustwallow Marsh, for example, are a good choice. When you see an enemy player coming, attack them. When they retaliate, the guards will aggro and you can sit back and laugh. Another good choice is hanging out among the farmers in Hillsbrad; wait until that poor lowbie has four farmers on him, then take him out.

4. Attack the NPCs, not the lowbies. This drives people insane. Take your level 70 druid to, say, the Crossroads or Tarren Mill and wipe out every single quest giver you can find. Only attack lowbies who attack you first. When called on it, claim you were only trying to get a response from the other side; if they do the same thing to Astranaar or Southshore, complain about it on the forums. This also works well with the Defias messenger in Westfall.

5. Hang out at instance meeting stones. Good choices: Blackfathom Deeps, Uldaman, Maraudon. This would be best for a stealth class. Wait until people show up and start summoning a friend, then kill them.

I'm sure there are more, and I'm sorry that this is skewed more toward Alliance; unfortunately, I've gathered all of these ideas from observations and, having never been on an asshole run, have had little chance to observe the Horde jerks on my realm (though from what I hear, stealthing into Ironforge and killing bankers and auctioneers is apparently the preferred method of annoying people Horde-side).

Seriously, though, don't do that shit. It's annoying and it makes you look like an honorless coward. (Unless you're a rogue on an RP server; then it's kind of expected that you'll be underhanded sneaks.)
