The Incongruity of PvP on a PvE Server

Tol Barad, time T minus 5 minutes: Doing dailies, I find myself in the same areas as Angelic, a troll priest. Running from point A to point B on my own business, it's no problem to toss off an Arcane Barrage or Fire Blast to lend a hand. I do it without even really thinking about it.

Tol Barad, time T plus 5 minutes: Fighting the battle of Tol Barard, I find myself in the same area as Angelic, a troll priest. Running from point A to point B on my own business, it's no problem to stop, slow, spellsteall her buffs, then pop trinkets and hit her smack dab in the face with a couple of buffed arcane blasts. I do it without even really thinking about it.

What a difference 10 minutes makes.
