Well as for me I did questing on my sage. Started my trooper and there is no need for me to do all the quests again its boring leveling thru pvp a lot more fun once you did all the quests. I only do class guests now. But I do plan to make my next character on a pvp server. Just to see the difference.

This tbh ^

Been considering rerolling to an RP-PVE server just for the community, however I don't RP that much, don't really have the time to invest into a background story and so on so not so sure on how I would be recived.

The state on the PvE and PvP servers I play on is horrible... No respect for other players at all. If my RL buds wasn't on them I wouldn't be either.

It has been an extremely long time since I played on a pvp server where ganking while leveling is a serious problem. Plus if these guys only warzone to level why would they not choose a pvp server? It is weird.
Scared? No. Don't really see the point in pvp servers. Most of the pvp I enjoy is on war zones. World pvp in this game is not good.

I don't understand your reasoning. The issue is not that they did choose a pve server. It's the lack of a separation in Warzone queues between premades and randoms.
What, wait - I don't even...

World PvP sucks in this game, and people who partake in it suck even more. Not once was I attacked without overwhelming odds. Ever. Never had a player my level roll up, politely wait until I finished killing the mobs, and duke it out with me. Which is a civilized thing to do. It's always some spineless twit jumping you when you already have your hands full with a hard pull.
Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner

This is exactly why i pvp on a pve server. Who wants to get ganked all the time trying to get to 50 to pvp? You think that because i pvp i should only play on pvp servers? Newsflash, people PVE aswell on pvp servers, it is not a crime to pvp on pve and vice versa.
And to your "if they love pvp so much why are they not on pvp servers" well i can only speak for my self, but id rather prefer getting into warzones and get money and valor than to go sit on some bush in a quest zone and gank ppl randomly.

So they can roll roll empire and not have long queue times, and make videos of pwning raiders 3 on 1.

Only reason I can think of. Then they come here and talk about pvp balance and say all classes are equally represented in warzones when they are 3 on 1'ing total scrubs.

LOL at the 10-49 bracket on fatman pvp server right now. Sorc/Merc and the occasional assassin and their mirrors is all you will ever see. Same goes for any high pop pvp server where people have figured out the resolve system sucks and ranged stunlocking and sorc/sage healers ftw.

The 10-49 bracket is STUNTASTIC.

I must echo the point that has been brought up and yeah it's that as a person who is on a PvP server, the most "world PvP" that I've ran into was on Tatooine where on a regular basis you can count on at least 2-3 lv.50's being bored and having nothing better to do than 1-2 shot people 20 levels below them. The other place I saw a lot of open world PvP was on Voss on the map that had the shared rez point with no NPC guardians so 6 sith were just camping the rez point killing people as they came back.
On the up side retribution kills make it all worth while at times. The best was when I was finishing leveling my character to 50. I was doing the Hoth bonus series just keeping to myself doing quests when some Jug jumps out to attack me, I pop resilience and force cloak out of there. 5 minutes later he jumps me again and kills me. So when I come back I'm just walking in stealth and come across him fighting the elite you need to kill for the datacron on Hoth, so I waited for about half a minute until he had the boss at about 25% life and he was at 30% life then jumped up from behind and killed him; and it wasn't even the killing him that made me happy, it was the fact that the person was so close to finishing something, could practically see the finish line and then have all that hard effort and work be in vain. After that I didn't see him again.

I know not everyone will agree with me but this is my opinion and my husband's as well. To the person who called me a Troll, nice way to resort to name calling.
facepalm if i was your husband i would lock you in a kitchen.
