If you were in allied territory which was basically each race's capital city and the zones connected to it you were safe from enemy faction players unless you attacked them first. So going into one of the enemy faction's main cities basically limits you to only attacking NPCs and players that engage you first. Which basically meant all those lowbies died because they initiated combat by attacking me and then were eaten by my pet which was set to defensive mode.

Contested areas were open PvP for both sides and the low level contested areas were the main areas the complaints came from due to max level players looking for people in the lv 20ish range to pick on. It was possible to pvp ppl in your own faction as well but only via the dueling system.
