OPvP is 99% of the time a "noob zerfest". What makes it appealing is the remain 1% where the fights are so much fun that you're willing to endure the other 99%.
But make no mistake, for 99% of OPvP it isn't fair, it isn't about skill, and it definately isn't about "war". No matter what the outcome is the "war" is unaffected, go RP with someone who cares.
